What mission do you have in mind?

Not really a mission in mind but more an engineering challenge...
What equipment of small size does exist? Is it easier to use than the
classical A14 oxygen regulator or EDS?
I searched a lot on the internet for pictures, detailed schematic
etc...but found nearly nothing except very general text I can't use.

Medical systems can be about the size of a thermos flask, and (these days)
often include a pulse system.

Eric,

One step at a time, buddy. First we get the LOX tanks on-board, then we add
the kerosene . . .

You have that already. It is mixed with the glass and carbon fibre.

People might be interested in the British Summit Oxygen systems,
originally designed for HA climbing - http://www.summitoxygen.com/index.php
.. It uses a cannula instead of a face mask and an electronic pulse-
dose meter system, which can supply up to 22 hours of oxygen from one
bottle.

Few climbers use Summit sets as they proved very unreliable on
Everest. The British Army and Navy rave about them, but that's
probably because the company was set up by two ex-Royal Engineers. Get
Mapping uses them in their aircraft, apparently.

Climbers instead use the simple but effective Russian Poisk system
that afaik has never had a failure, but requires many more bottles to
be carried. While the fancy design of the Summit system is unsuitable
for climbing, it's probably alright in the gentle environment of a
glider.

This is not a LOX system, the concept is appears to be much the same as
that used in EDS systems...
