ah, captialism
YES
>SEE HOW US AND EUROPE DON'T HAVE VENTILATORS?! THAT MEANS CAPITALISM FAILED!!! SOCIALISM WOULD NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN
?
i dunno what youre yessing about
they are trying to hire a designer
not decentralize production
It's still a nice challenge. An attempt to do something.
Ok. I can make you a respirator.
I need 4’ of garden hose.
A ball gag.
A Y valve.
And a set of bag pipes.
It will also make you feel Scottish.
well
you could use those breathplay fetish things
Gib money
and strap it to a motor
i guess
im gonna need an ice pick, avocado, and some aluminum foil
ma your iq is so below nigger tier it isnt even funny
The really early respirators we essentially that.
The problem with that is... it’s not good enough now. Modern respirators need a whole bunch of monitoring equipment and the software to control them built into them.
another attack vector is being able to track people who are tested, infected and cleared
don't forget you need quite a heavy pressure to actually get air into lungs
kind of pointless unless you test every single person in the country
and youd have to test them multiple times with time intervals
just tattoo bar codes on those infected lmao
of which there are nowhere near enough tests
monitoring and control software is relatively straight forward
It’s about manufacturing it in quantity, immediately, that’s the problem.
integration is cheaper to mass produce but has a trade-off of a long lead time before production
modular systems are much faster to test, build, deploy and incrementially refine
modular systems also allow parallel production of components
parallel approach lends itself to distribution, Industry 4.0 manufacturing techniques
are you going to pretend that they dont build the components of the current machines first before assembling them?
what do you think this is
the 18th century?
If someone was to design a respirator with compliant mechanisms that people could 3d now, yeah, that’s great. We’ve got thousands and thousands of 3d printers all across the nation with folks locked in their houses... that’s not the problem.
The problem is the sensors, electronics and software you’ve got to stick into them. We don’t have that in volume.
that's the EASY part
and yes we do
