The World has been calling for more respirators since the Corona Virus has taken it's toll. Many big companies & universities are designing devices, so I thought I would see what I could come up with in a few hours. Its simple, 3D printable with off the shelf components. It is just a basic ventilator, more suited for developing countries etc.
Designed to be easily 3D printed, and powered by a microprocessor such as an Arduino. It uses a stepper motor to drive a threaded screw drive. This inflates or deflates the baffle to a desired capacity. A simple valve system in the base of the baffle, directs air drive and purge accordingly.
Concept 3D animation.
