Respirator_COVID19_Concept

STL files from the concept

Open source design concept for low cost mechanical respirator based on manual resuscitator or "self-inflating bag", which is a hand-held device (130 mm diameter) commonly used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing adequately.

Three 608 bearings are needed in the assembly.

It is based on the use of a simple "car window" motor coupled in the eccentric gear. Alternative shapes and eccentricity of the disc may result in different air pressure and release rates.

And pieces of printable parts available in separate designs.
