From what I understand, Dyson is not trying to "design a perfect ventilator." He's trying to design a cheaper, easier-to-produce ventilator that will be good enough for many situations, vastly improving the availability of ventilators for all who need it.
Everyone else seems to be just working on producing the existing, hard-to-produce ventilator.
- martyvis 7y agoOne thing I particularly fell in love about the Dyson vacuum (DC29) we bought about 5 years ago was how easily serviced it was. We burned out a motor and everything about the machine was designed for simple manufacture and serviceability. There weren't random cables and screws going every which way. Following a servicemans YouTube, everything clicked apart and back together again. The plastic tooling was very precise. I imagine using those principles for medical apparatus will help in manufacturing consistency, ability to clean and service. They might even find themselves a whole new business path after this. (I'm expecting Elon's similar foray will have equal opportunity for innovation - though I have never been in the position to pull apart a Tesla!)
