Oxygen Concentrator (2020)
COVID-19
project in Africa
We had been volunteering to help a group in Zimbabwe with a hand-crank ventilator system, and came upon this system that we felt had potential to help many more with other respiratory illnesses. Generating oxygen-rich air through a compressed air system using Zeolite, for regions of the world that didn’t have in-built systems or couldn’t access bottled oxygen.
Prototype Development
Taking the idea and manifesting it into a working prototype to prove out certain aspects of the design. It takes good expertise, capturing learnings, and iterations to refine. See how we used our knowledge base and network to help this project get from point A to point B.
