ABSTRACT: The outbreak of the Novel Corona Virus in 2019 resulted in global concern. It impacted the economy of various countries. People were facing challenges in keeping their health intact as the virus was impacting their respiratory systems. Infected people were developing many problems, and the major concern was breathing problems. This research paper highlights the importance of oxygen concentrators which became a dire need during the covid times, and their technical use followed by explaining the process of making oxygen concentrators. The paper concludes that an oxygen concentrator can be made using Arduino uno and can provide 65% purity of oxygen if lower grade zeolite is used. If the higher grade of zeolite (13x grade) is used, this would result in 95-98% purity of oxygen when the flow rate is under 30L/min.
