      The oxygen is in the air all around us. We suck the air into our equipment, then separate the oxygen out from the nitrogen and other components.
      We store it in big tanks. Oxygen gas takes up around 700 times more space than liquid oxygen so we usually store it as a liquid (which means we have to store it at very very cold temperatures, because when it is warm it wants to turn into a gas again)
