  • Now hold on...I like where this is going, but an ordinary plant doesn't produce NEARLY enough oxygen at a fast enough speed for this to be viable, you'd need plants specifically engineered for the purpose...Probably a dense spongy moss would work best, something akin to the consistency of Reindeer moss, but photosynthesizing at a highly elevated rate, and at all times...
