Israeli Innovation to Produce Hundreds of Respirators a Day
(Jerusalem Post) As respirators have become essential to deal with the complications of the coronavirus, First Robotics League, Microsoft Israel Research and Development, Ichilov Medical Center, Magen David Adom and Unit 108 of the Air Force have come together to find an innovative solution to avoid future shortages in Israel and around the world. The Israeli Air Force is managing the project. The idea is to create an "open source" respirator that can be mass produced in labs at low cost, without the need for factories. "This is a product that uses a manual respiration balloon and operates it smartly and automatically....All of its assembling instructions are open to the public, in Israel and worldwide," the developers explained.
