So how exactely does the O2 generator work? H2O2 + KMnO3?

A couple more pictures would be nice.

MnO2 is the black stuff (not the carbon anode, of course) in batteries. Just take a cheap alkaline battery apart.

There are cheap ciniese batteries that have big enternal resistense, but I didn't try them.Just reminding that you MUST HAVE GLASES WHEN OPERATING with H2O2.
