Go to a welding supply house and get a tank and regulator. This is expensive. [$100+ ?] The Oxygen is plenty pure..probably AS pure as the medical oxygen but not "certified" as such. I don't hesitate to suck oxygen from my torch. Just the tank.. a pretty big one...was over $200. Regulators run around $30 to $50 Refilling the tank is not too expensive.
Much cheaper Buy an oil less air compressor. Most cheap diaphram types are oil less. The little 12 volt units for pumping up tires should do and cost about $20. There are small compressors for 120 volts used for pumping up airbeds that should work well too. Both can be found in the sporting goods dept at Wallyworld [camping/automotive] Airbrushes use very little volume and pressure. Even hooking one up to a Wallmart hand pump made to inflate air mattresses should work. [About $10 I think] ode At 12:35 AM 9/17/2003 -0500, you wrote: >Hi, > > For three weeks now, I have a persistent cough, lingering from a >cold/flu that infected my lungs about five weeks back.
