1 Mechanical Hypoxic Generators

Mechanical generators use a compressor

1.1 Hypoxico

Hypoxico systems is an established manufacturer. The prices I was quoted in 2009 were

  • Everest Summit, $4,900. Provides 12,500 ft, or 21,000 ft with a $200 adapter.

  • Conversion for use in exercise - $700
  • Tents - $350+

1.2 Go2Altitude

Go2Altitude focuses on systems for intermittent hypoxic training rather than sleep systems. The cheapest system is their One Person / Portable.

  • One Person / Portable 2010, $5,990 (6,500 delivered). Provides 21,000 ft and comes with pulse oximeter, PC software and hoses/masks
