A portable liquid oxygen (LOX) storage/delivery apparatus is provided, including an insulated (LOX) container having an interior, a bottom portion and a sidewall, the sidewall including a first side portion and a second side portion, both extending between the top portion and the bottom portion, and a port system in communication with the interior of the container for charging the container and for withdrawing LOX and gaseous oxygen from the container. The gaseous oxygen is withdrawn from the container through a first outlet and LOX is withdrawn from the container through a second outlet. Gaseous oxygen can be withdrawn from the container through the first outlet and LOX can be withdrawn from the container through the second outlet when the container is positioned in a first orientation with the sidewall vertically oriented, as well as when the container is positioned in a second orientation with the second side portion oriented downwardly and with the first side portion oriented upwardly and overlying the second side portion, and any position in between.

What is claimed is: 1. A liquid oxygen (LOX) apparatus, comprising: a container having an interior for containing LOX and gaseous oxygen; a LOX withdrawal conduit for withdrawing LOX from the interior; and a gas withdrawal conduit for withdrawing gaseous oxygen from the interior; wherein at least a portion of the LOX withdrawal conduit is located within a portion of the gas withdrawal conduit; wherein the container has an elongated shape that can be positioned in a horizontal position and a vertical position; and wherein when the container interior is partially filled with LOX and partially filled with gaseous oxygen, LOX and gaseous oxygen can be withdrawn from the container interior through the LOX withdrawal conduit and the gas withdrawal conduit, respectively, in both the horizontal and vertical positions of the container. 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: the container interior has an elongated shape including a first end and a second end; the LOX withdrawal conduit opens into container interior adjacent the first end of the container interior; and the gas withdrawal conduit opens into the container interior adjacent the second end of the container interior. 3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: the LOX withdrawal conduit opens into the container interior at a first location; and the gas withdrawal conduit opens into the container interior at a second location substantially diagonal from the first location relative to the container interior. 4. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein: the gas withdrawal conduit terminates at a first opening at a first location of the container interior; and the LOX withdrawal conduit extends through the first opening and across a substantial portion of the container interior. 5. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein both gaseous oxygen and LOX are withdrawn from the gas withdrawal conduit. 6. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein LOX and gaseous oxygen can be simultaneously withdrawn from the container interior through the LOX withdrawal conduit and the gas withdrawal conduit, respectively. 7. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the LOX withdrawal conduit extends diagonally through the container interior. 8. An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a LOX delivery conduit for at least partially filling the container interior with LOX, the LOX delivery conduit separate from the LOX withdrawal conduit and the gas withdrawal conduit. 9. An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein: the container interior has an elongated shape including a first end and a second end; both the gas withdrawal conduit and the LOX delivery conduit open into container interior adjacent the first end of the container interior; and the LOX withdrawal conduit opens into the container interior adjacent the second end of the container interior. 10. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the LOX withdrawal conduit is substantially concentric with a portion of the gas withdrawal conduit. 11. A liquid oxygen (LOX) apparatus, comprising: a container having an interior for containing LOX and gaseous oxygen, the container interior including a first side and a second side; a gas withdrawal conduit for withdrawing gaseous oxygen from the container interior, the gas withdrawal conduit entering the container interior proximate the first side of the container interior and opening into the container interior proximate the first side of the container interior; a LOX withdrawal conduit for withdrawing LOX from the container interior, the LOX withdrawal conduit entering the container interior proximate the first side of the container interior, extending substantially across the container interior, and opening into the container interior proximate the second side of the container interior; and a LOX delivery conduit for at least partially filling the container interior with LOX, the LOX delivery conduit entering the container interior proximate the second side of the container interior, extending substantially across the container interior, and opening into the container interior proximate the first side of the container interior. 12. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein: the LOX withdrawal conduit opens into the container interior at a first location; and the gas withdrawal conduit opens into the container interior at a second location substantially diagonal from the first location relative to the container interior. 13. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein both gaseous oxygen and LOX are withdrawn from the gas withdrawal conduit. 14. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein LOX and gaseous oxygen can be simultaneously withdrawn from the container interior through the LOX withdrawal conduit and the gas withdrawal conduit, respectively. 15. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein: the container has an elongated shape that can be positioned in a horizontal position and a vertical position; and when the container interior is partially filled with LOX and partially filled with gaseous oxygen, LOX and gaseous oxygen can be withdrawn from the container interior through the LOX withdrawal conduit and the gas withdrawal conduit, respectively, in both the horizontal and vertical positions of the container. 16. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein at least a portion of the LOX withdrawal conduit extends diagonally through the container interior. 17. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein at least a portion of the LOX withdrawal conduit is located within a portion of the gas withdrawal conduit. 18. An apparatus according to claim 11, wherein at least a portion of the LOX withdrawal conduit is substantially concentric with a portion of the gas withdrawal conduit. 19. A liquid oxygen (LOX) apparatus, comprising: a container having an interior for containing LOX and gaseous oxygen, the container interior having an elongated shape including a first end and a second end; a LOX withdrawal conduit for withdrawing LOX from the interior; a gas withdrawal conduit for withdrawing gaseous oxygen from the interior; and a LOX delivery conduit for at least partially filling the container interior with LOX, the LOX delivery conduit separate from the LOX withdrawal conduit and the gas withdrawal conduit; wherein at least a portion of the LOX withdrawal conduit is located within a portion of the gas withdrawal conduit; wherein both the gas withdrawal conduit and the LOX delivery conduit open into container interior adjacent the first end of the container interior; and wherein the LOX withdrawal conduit opens into the container interior adjacent the second end of the container interior.
