Claim 0:
1. An oxygen delivery system augmenting oxygen supply to one or more fuel cells, the system comprising:
an oxygen delivery storage comprising an onboard oxidizer;
one or more actuation or adjustment components;
one or more monitoring sensors or metering components; and
one or more supply line components in fluid communication with the oxygen delivery storage and in fluid communication with an oxygen flowfield plate disposed in each of the one or more fuel cells, wherein the oxygen delivery system is connected to or integrated into a power generation subsystem comprising the one or more fuel cells and delivers oxygen in replacement of or in combination with gathered and/or compressed ambient air supplied to an air inlet and/or an inflow end of the oxygen flowfield plate of each of the one or more fuel cells, augmenting oxygen supplied to the one or more fuel cells and thereby supplying additional reactants used for electrical power generation;
wherein the oxygen delivery system is in fluid communication with intake components configured to gather and compress ambient air into compressed air that is supplied to an air inlet and an inflow end of the oxygen flowfield plate of each fuel cell of the one or more fuel cells, and wherein the oxygen delivery system and the one or more fuel cells are in fluid communication with one or more air filters and airflow meters to meter and control oxidizer input at each inlet to match inlet oxygen requirements of the one or more fuel cells based on a level of power being generated, atmospheric pressure and temperature.
