PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gaseous oxygen supplying device capable of isolating oxygen from air with a simple structure, and supplying high oxygen concentration gas to an internal combustion engine and a fuel cell. SOLUTION: This gaseous oxygen supplying device is provided with a pipe 10 having an air inflow port near a center portion thereof, and a magnetic field generating means 14 for generating an axial magnetic field extending from one end portion 10b toward the other end portion 10c with in the pipe 10. Oxygen in air has positive magnetic susceptibility by paramagnetism, so that moves to the end portion 10c under a strong magnetic field, and on the other hand the oxygen in air has negative magnetic susceptibility by nitrogen, diamagnetism, so that moves to the end portion 10b opposite to the magnetic field direction. Gas having high oxygen concentration flowing out of the other end portion 10c is supplied to an internal combustion engine or a fuel cell. |
