The goal of the group is to make an inexpensive ventilator that can be produced anywhere in the world from commonly-sourced parts. Relaxed FDA regulations has helped in the US, but the needs in other parts of the world far exceed the ventilator supply and people are dying because of it.

i posted one yesterday found on youtube.

it would work when CUomo tells granny she can’t have a ventilator.

Also saw a guy on youtube take a CPAP machine and rig something up.

Someone posted an article here about a doctor in rural Canada who figured out a way to sustain nine patients off of one ventilator.

Necessity truly is the mother of invention.

Ceiling fans for vents, Bennet Machines for vents, PVC pipe and sprinkler valves for vents, 9 people to a vent. This must be Babylon Bee.

Why not convert APAP or CPAP units to ventilators, APAP is the better choice, they do need daily cleaning.
