==Mechanical Hypoxic Generators==
Mechanical generators<ref name="hypo"/> either use Pressure Swing Absorption<ref name="psa"/> or a semi-permeable membrane<ref name="semi"/>. These generators tend to be expensive to purchase, but require no ongoing maintenance. Apparently CAT, Hypoxico, and Higher Peak use generators from the same supplier.
