Magnetic oxygen-generation

The University of Warwick can make oxygen with magnets. Beforehand, the Space Station has had to make it with electrolysis and then to get the bubbles out of the water.

The Space Station, famously, does not own a pinwheel; everything is microgravity. Plus even if the Station, or Axios, did get a pinwheel the astronauts would call dibs on the space, at least for medicine and for advance acclimatisation for return to Earth.

Here's one piece of bulky machinery, a centrifuge, which now no longer needs space on the Station.
