Bob McCoy, a respiratory therapist, and Peter Bliss, a bio-medical engineer, have devoted themselves to research, research of devices that deliver oxygen. They invented a device that simulates the breathing pattern of a human and used it to measure and compare the delivery of oxygen by continuous flow with pulse flow from different types of conservers. They have presented their findings at several professional meetings.

Here are some articles that should be of particular interest. Please excuse the formal titles. These are the title Bob and Peter use at professional meetings--title that, as you will see, appear on the documents.

 
Some of their work appears, with their permission, in articles within my website. I thought you might like to see the original sources as well as studies I have not had time to deal with. So, here they are--Bob and Peter.
