Coronavirus in Mumbai: Engineering student develops portable ventilator with material available at home
COVID-19
positive patients are rising in the state and Mumbai and ventilators will be in
great need. In a bid to help the society in this crisis, an engineering
student, Trilok Sawant from Kandivali (East), Thakur Village, has prepared a
portable ventilator, with things available in his house. This small, palm-sized
machine is automatic and patients can use it themselves at home.
After hearing about Trilok's invention of ‘Spandan’, the low cost
automatic portable ventilator, North Mumbai BJP MP Gopal Shetty visited his
residence yesterday morning to see the invention. “When I visited Trilok's place
to see the handy ventilator, Dr Bipin Doshi and an experienced mechanical
engineer were also with me to evaluate the ventilator. They also said that this
ventilator would be very useful to the country in the present situation. I will
help him financially and in other ways required to encourage his talent and
hard work and will make him a part of the Make in India project," said
Gopal Shetty.
