MIT has designed an emergency ventilator that uses commonly found and easily sourced materials. FDA-approved ventilators are expensive and require hundreds of components, and in these trying times a cheaper…

The Experiment That Tried to Weigh the Human Soul
It’s a little complicated to weigh a dying person on a hospital bed, but that didn’t deter Duncan MacDougall. In the early 20th century, MacDougall’s unique bed-scale detected that 21 grams left the human body at the moment of death. He had finally discovered it: the weigh of the human soul … or so he…

Could they build the control box like an app then every part of it could be affordable and easily accessible all you’ll need is a laptop or smartphone

A bit late? And when it already has been shown that treatment with ventilators is for the most part deadly.

Because the media kept screaming for ventilators we now have a massive excess of them. So much so that we can afford to export them to other places. We won’t be needing these.

I thought ventalators success rate was only 20% for covid.
Dasitmane Ayylmao
May 27, 2020 at 5:53 pm
Survival is like 10-12% and that’s using proper ventilators that don’t ram air into someone’s lungs unlike the ones in this video.

Ventilators aren’t good (unless you can’t on your own) putting someone prematurely can cause their death

Yeah my friend’s aunt has covid and pneumonia and her lungs were struggling so they put her on a ventilator and she was dead 3 days later. They are not good for you.

I can tell if this is being touted a machine going to be used to replace respirators or the squeeze bottle. Which is it.
Non of these people interviewed are described as medical professionals. Where medical professionals consulted?

the trick is successfully getting patients off of the ventilators. for that you need a sophisticated machine not just a rudimentary pump…

I mean on top of this you might want a different air mixture than just bottled oxygen or the surrounding air. Not to mention you might want to sedate your patient, which you would need a pretty skilled doctor for whatever remote location this would be deployed at.

Or they could just use real ventilators, because who could have guessed it, there is a massive surplus of them because this virus is a scam.
