Dave and Simon, chew on it --
When might be the next time you work on a project that saves the lives of 20,000 people?
Maybe 50,000!

You didn't seem to comprehend my list of things that entice an engineer to work on a project. I don't recall guilt tripping calls to glory as one of them.
There is a reason why no one on one of the worlds largest engineering forums is jumping out of their chair to help you, I'll let you figure out what that is.
Simon:
Micronell make blowers for medical equipment. 47'000 rpm 13.5kpa and 50m3, but that is some pressure that you do not want delivered the wrong way.

Just because you can drive a car (something not proven) doesn't mean you're qualified to build 50,000 cars.
It is so nice that you've started posting here to enlighten us on how qualified you are to create this huge project and give us an opportunity to contribute to a small part of it.
Mechatrommer:
you should concern about your own people first, you are the number one in the list now doubled from China and soon doubled from Italy. you should gather people around you, make a quick solution and post it OSHW here if you like. developing world will not have the skill to build your BOM anyway, and the way you organized this thread it looks like it will never come anytime soon. even if we have to face the hardest time, there will be some locals like me and some others will go to the front line doing volunteer works. i can see some of our locals community developed 3d printed full face mask in facebook thats a good thing.
Enginerding:
The number of people onboard with this project is up to 6! Double what it was a few hours ago. Smashing success so far🎉🎉, and growing!
Simon and Flooby; you're the future head sexy motors guys. And Flooby, you're great -- I sent you a PM about how great you are.
It's super-temping in a sprint to jump forward onto appealing items. All things in due course.
As of now, I politely ask that we enforce discipline and dialogue on the critical path question:
Does a fully operational open source ventilator already exist w/ a suitable BOM for the developing world?
In the developing world, this will mean some parts of the BOM being adapted from off-the-shelf items, as some have pointed out.
Also; how does everyone feel about t-shirts when this is over?
