The shortage of ventilators during the coronavirus crisis may have been solved by a team of super-smart engineers with a machine 10 times cheaper than the ones used by the NHS at the moment.
Researchers at the University of Oxford and the University of London have designed what they think is a working ventilator that could go into production right away, BBC News reports.
The machine, called “OxVent”, was demonstrated to British cabinet ministers this week. In the clip, an engineer working on the project explains that inside the box is a "standard ambulance bag" which is normally compressed by hand, but in this case, uses pressure from the air supply.
