Pinoy inventors create ventilators out of snorkeling masks COVID19
MANILA - Saving lives is no walk in the park, but for entrepreneur and Filipino Inventors Society fellow Arnel Marcelo Andal and Autocad expert and designer Edzel Orense, they had to make things work with available materials at the moment.
The team got a sponsorship for a batch of Decathlon or breathe-easy snorkeling masks, which they specifically used for the project. They made the valves out of 3D printers. “Naka-silicone din 'yun tapos ang ginawa natin, dun sa mga straps sa likuran madali po siya minsan mag-slide, lumuwag. Ang ginawa po natin doon, glinue natin 'yung mga elastic valves na iba.”
He noted that volunteer work is crucial in the task, as a piece of patient ventimask takes around 7 hours total printing time, and a piece of doctor and nurse mask takes around 10 to 11 hours to complete. A 3D printer group joined in to volunteer with the printing.
