Dyson has received an order from the UK government for 10,000 ventilators to support efforts by the country

Trump is dumping a whole lot of these idiotic regulations!!!
By the time a patient has to be pout on a ventilator, ITS TOO LATE:
A MUST SEE.... DO NOT FAIL TO LISTEN:

EXCELLENT NEWS: Hydroxychloroquine Treatment Effective on 699 Patients
Cuomo: Only 15k? I need 100,000 of these suckers and I’m not paying a dime for them. Dyson is not stepping up!
That in the usual course of business. You'd be surprised at what can be done when you drop everything else and focus on one priority.
Some HUGE tools might take longer, but most toolrooms and molding operations have raw material or things that can be sacrified and converted. Dies for this sort of part could probably be ready for first trial in 48 hours.
The Rockwell painting you snipped into your post is more than a “Thanksgiving painting”. It was one of four in a series from an FDR speech “The 4 Freedoms”. The title of the one you show is “Freedom from Want”. Just a bit of info for those who may not know the larger story, as I’m sure you do.
Ventilators can be surprisingly simple. The old MA IIs had no “electronics” IIRC. Over the decades ventilators have become much more compact, mobile, all sorts of bells and whistles, safety measures to prevent barotrauma. They used to be incredibly simple, I changed vent settings on my patients in the ICU myself more frequently than the RTs did.
Today’s’ vent is highly complex, it can do things the old vents couldn’t do. We knew in our day it was theoretically posssible to ventilate a lung with a “jet” that caused laminar flow and NO “breaths”. Inhalation and exhalation occurring simultaneously through laminar flow. The old vents couldn’t do that. The new ones have all kinds of waveforms of pressure that can be delivered to address specific clinical situations. They can “trigger” only when certain parameters are met. They are extremely complex pieces of machinery.
Students at Rice developed a $300 ventilator.
Save the image on your computer have printed at any photo shop poster sizes are available or use the digital image as is.
The Airport Hilton at St. Louis is a shrine to TWA and the Constilation.
Big pictures show off Hollywood stars seated inside or exiting the big airplane.
We’re being poorly served by the regulatory agencies.
Nope, that is a John Atherton illustration. Atherton was probably better known as an illustrator than he was for his fine art. He did some of the more striking posters produced in the US during WWII.
“probably reusing a lot of pre-existing parts from his vacuum cleaners and blower systems.”
Is Dyson the guy who makes those dreadful and offensive hand dryers in airport restrooms? I hate those things, and will leave with wet hands before using one.
Also, some studies have shown that since most people don’t wash their hands well enough — often just a quick rinse — the strong blowers just whoosh the germs farther into the air for others to breathe.
I was unsure as both men’s names appear on the illustration...look beneath the lower caption.
Perhaps Atherton worked on a team with Rockwell.
Yeah I saw that. They both did a lot of work for the Saturday Evening Post, so that they may have collaborated on something like this. The overall design looks more “Atherton” to me, with a “Rockwell” figure. Sadly, Atherton died fairly young.
Amazing artists!
I’d love to have such an ability...I can barely draw a straight line.
That guy is holding an iPad.
I bet it uses a walnut sized motor and sounds like a 747 spooling up for take off.
WoW!
You are very observant my FRiend!

The general rot of the Sixties led to the dismissal of people like Norman Rockwell, a least as the oh-so-smart "art world" was concerned. Abstract and ugly - not to mention perverted - were "in," anything else was considered "kitsch."
Ugliness... ugliness everywhere.
When I was a kid we were having class outside one day at school. A Connie flew overhead and the teacher said, “look children, it’s a B-52”.
