And well done to the consortium of UK industrial, technology and engineering businesses who have come together to produce medical ventilators for the NHS.
The "VentilatorChallengeUK" consortium includes Airbus, BAE Systems, Ford, Rolls-Royce and Siemens.
Yes good work on getting one so quickly hopefully it will help save many lives. It did look like on the demonstration that the blokes putting it on didn't know what they were doing though. I have a Apap machine which is very similar and it looked as though the harness was on inside out as the straps to adjust it were on the inside instead of the outside.
Very good news indeed - well done all concerned! Mr. J2 is a bit of a car nut and years ago he replied to my mutterings about all that wasted petrol, by saying that the technological developments made by the firms had contributed massively to general engine economy. Squashed, I retreated to the garden, accepting that he was right. The engineer have really vindicated his comments. :)
