Ventilator made from car parts

Hmm interesting. Time will tell what the deal is. I'm sure it'll turn into some scandal at some point....
Simon:
The deal is the usual, james dyson is a lying bastard, remember the 0 carbon emissions motors in his vacuum cleaner?
bd139:
Oh and the British made Singapore outsourcing brexit supporting cuntery as well...

Focus on helping existing production units ramp up production, not on reinventing the wheel.

Spacex produces valve for Medtronic. Also you cannot simply start making components sourced from various manufacturers. You'd need to design an alternative component and build production line first. (Talking about reinventing the wheel).

There are many components that can be produced reliably on "prototype-style" equipment, like CNC machining individual parts on generic machines instead of on a regular "production line." If some generic equipment that is sitting idle can be put to use producing parts and pieces, fab some PCBs and assemble them with components, etc. on some additional production line, even if it is small-quantity production, if some auxiliary production lines here and there can produce high quality, repeatable parts, that would probably actually be the most helpful in the end.

That's not good of course, but at least better than many people becoming landfill instead.
