Attempt to use a 3D printed screw compressor as ventilator to fight Covid-19.

I was thinking about a ventilator that is controlled by the patients themselve. So good, high grade ventilators can be used for the critical cases, while mild ones use this one. Or maybe even use it at home?!?

But thats just me thinking. I have no medical background and absolutely no experience in medical ventilation. I am just an engineer trying a different approach to a problem.

My design is open source. If you see potential, use it and adapt it to your needs.
