The canisters do not contain O2 to begin with, but 2 chemical agents (need to look up what they are) that, when put in contact w/ each other generate O2 for a (very) short amount of time (canisters will become VERY HOT). So I know of 2 ways: a switch on the flight desk and a barometric sensor that will automatically deploy when detects a rapid drop of cabin pressure...<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.flight592.com/Flight592Discussion-Current/_disc5/0000013b.htm My husband is a pilot/flight instructor maybe this will help;
