Saw a low cost (~$100) air powered mechanical ventilator. It was on my “try to get one” list after the 2009 swine flu. Not that I would use it myself - but to have for myself or family member if in a situation where vents were otherwise unavailable. Have to have an Rx so never followed up.

Called a Go2Vent. Maybe inspires ideas.

This has some information on draw backs to a lot of the early diy designs.
It’s worth watching imho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vLPefHYWpY

This is interesting:

Saw this yesterday in the news.

Well…new stuff keeps popping up out there.
Thought I’d put it here instead of starting more threads - have it all in one place.
