Galileo Pendulum Ventilator · 模型 294890
As indicated in its name, this ventilator design is based on Galileo’s pendulum research, which was afterwards used by Christiaan Huygens for the creation of the pendulum clock. With this inspiration in mind, the Galileo Pendulum Ventilator consists in an adaptation of this mechanism with the use of the swing of the pendulum to deflate supple air containers such as self-inflating bags (e.g. ambu bags), so that air can run from them then flow through the tubes linked to the bags to reach the patient (i.e. with an appropriate mask or other adjunct). The Galileo Pendulum Ventilator is fully automated and requires no electricity (although it could be complemented by other peripheral elements). This solution is not only minimum viable and rapidly deployable worldwide, but it is also simple, scalable and low cost. The main parts of the Galileo Pendulum Ventilator include the following: - a box to be built to hold both the pendulum system and the self-inflating bags; - the pendulum system itself (i.e. pendulum lever with bob, escapement, rod); - two ambu bags and their adjuncts to get to the patient (i.e. tubes and masks). To be custom manufactured, the system would require a basic plan in terms of scale and other considerations such as materials. In its simplest form (e.g. for the prototype), at least 70% of the Galileo Pendulum Ventilator could be made using a 3D printer (that is excluding any screws and bolts, the bob of the pendulum, the self-inflating bags and their adjuncts). However, if it is to be replicated, other materials can be used for the box (e.g. wood, metal) and for the pendulum (e.g. parts of an old pendulum clock), as well as the self-inflating bags. Otherwise, the best and safest solution would be production by trusted manufacturers.
