Old tech meets current tech
Thinking outside the box.
---> Only intended as last last resort...
As i see this as the most simple way to get oxygen into a patient that can't breathe anymore on its own.
There are much better hacks, but for many people components are lacking (ambu bags.)
Also this is for a per person personal use, so i see less problems in non medical parts.
It could safe your own, spouse, parents or grandparents life, if you could turn your 3d printer into a ventilator of last resort.
This is an idea/concept for converting a 3d printer into an emergency ventilator
Connect the bellow to the z axis, and program the z-axis to move in the right rithm.
Sensors for airflow, oxygen , pressure could be attached.
I have sadly no time to work it out, as i am working on other parts.
Added a dummy ring
