>> Why do we need more designs?

The goal is to design a low-cost, simple, easy-to-use and easy-to-build ventilator that can serve the COVID patients, in an emergency timeframe. It should be easy to build locally, its functionality must be easy to verify, and must meet the design requirements.

Also : cheap

Manufacturers have the world by the balls in a crisis like this, and throwing money at them as they increase their costs is not something a government can do forever.

I'm glad scientists are taking over the means of production here.
