This is the American spirit and invention that missing nowadays... Whatever happened to American ingenuity??? Elon and his rocket surgeons were beaten by dirt sucker specialists. Elon could have been a real hero, instead he sent his workers to work against county orders. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/26/tech/dyson-ventilators-coronavirus/index.html "Dyson said the company had designed and built an entirely new ventilator, called the "CoVent," since he received a call 10 days ago from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. "This new device can be manufactured quickly, efficiently and at volume," Dyson added, saying that the new ventilator has been designed to "address the specific needs" of coronavirus patients." " the ventilators would be ready by early April. Dyson, who has wealth worth $10 billion according to Bloomberg, wrote in his letter that he would also donate 5,000 units to the international effort to tackle the pandemic." But wait, there is more: "A second UK firm, Gtech, is also working to produce ventilators and has submitted two examples to the government for assessment. The company specializes in cordless vacuum cleaners and garden power tools."
But Musks will work, the dyson's will just get blocked by well air and fail to suck or blow. Not hard, just copy other 1's in the basic function, hoovers defo much to closer to a ventilator compared to cars or space ships so that's a head start right there.
Lol, be fair now. They aren't designing new vacuum cleaners, just oxygenators. You don't need some filter for hair and food and etc etc. Hehe!
Some positive news: MyPillow is using 75% of its production line to make face masks. ---------------------------------------- https://www.gainesville.com/news/20200326/more-coronavirus-diy-uf-upcycles-for-masks The University of Florida has developed an "innovative mask" that is supposedly 4% more effective than N95 respirator masks 5K-10k can be made per day simply from material UF Health hospitals typically throw away
GM is trying, but the negotiations are slow and the time frame too far. Ford first backed out and said they would only make respirators. Today Trump blasted them for not stepping up: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/27/poli...ral-motors-ventilators-coronavirus/index.html
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/business/ford-ge-healthcare-ventilators/index.html "Ford plans to make as many as 50,000 simple ventilators for coronavirus patients within 100 days and plans to continue producing 30,000 per month after that, the company announced Monday."
Breaking news: GM is shipping its ventilators to hospitals. Congratulations! Elon, eat your heart out with your space surgeons!
Elon already shipped over 1,000 biPAP ventilators to some of the states like NY. Wait, he didn't build them, he bought them from China.
Yeah beside not building them it is not the right kind. In certain settings it can actually make the virus spread more. (not a closed system)
