Device for extracting Oxygen from moon

NASA is to set up moon as a base.Surely it will happen, NASA or any other space agency will set up moon as a base.In the near future it will supply us oxygen and water and also will provide us fuel for return flights.

NASA is now designing a new device - an oxygen generator that would extract the element from silicon dioxide and metal oxides from its dirt.Testing the device there is a bit tricky, as gravity here is more stronger than as of there and also machines will work differently.
Here we have one of their concepts.The device will initialy dig,carry and dump moon soil into a holding vessel.Then different particles are separated  by size and are collected more efficiently.For example iron oxides can be separated by using electrostatic chargers(simply magnet).Then this separated compounds will be blown into a reactor with hydrogen and is heated to 2,000 degree Fahrenheit.At the same time oxides released as a result of this would be attached to hydrogen and be collected.


Any way they are working on the future, lets meet them in the future
