Claim 0:
1. A system for delivering oxygen to an internal combustion engine of a vehicle comprising: an air filter for removing contaminants from an ambient air source; a main air supply pump driven by a first rotational power source to produce pressurized high temperature air; wherein said first rotational power source is powered by an internal combustion engine of said vehicle; and, wherein said air filter is in pneumatic communication with said main air supply pump generating said pressurized high temperature air; a heat exchanger for lowering a temperature of said pressurized high temperature and to produce pressurized cold temperature air; wherein said pressurized high temperature air passes into said heat exchanger at a heat exchanger first end and passes out as pressurized high temperature cold air at a heat exchanger second end; a fractionating column for receiving the pressurized cold temperature air and producing a unit of liquid oxygen; a liquid oxygen tank for storing said liquid oxygen; an expansion valve for transforming said liquid oxygen to a unit of oxygen gas; wherein said main air supply pump thus produces pressurized high temperature air from a filtered ambient air and transfers to said heat exchanger; wherein said heat exchanger lowers the temperature of said pressurized high temperature air to produce pressurized cold temperature air; wherein said fractionating column produces liquid oxygen as a portion of said pressurized cold temperature air; wherein said liquid oxygen tank is capable of storing said liquid oxygen; wherein said expansion valve is configured for being in fluid communication with an internal combustion engine and for delivering a gaseous oxygen thereinto; wherein said oxygen gas is ready for usage in said internal combustion engine; and, wherein said system provides additional oxygen gas to said internal combustion engine to increase relative horsepower, thereby reducing fuel flow and fuel usage for a fixed operation scenario and reducing contaminants from operation.
