IIT Bombay students team up to develop a low-cost ventilator to fight COVID-19

A team of engineering students from IIT Bombay, NIT Srinagar and Islamic University of Science & Technology (IUST), Awantipora, Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir is one such group of creative individuals who have come forward to solve the problem of ventilator requirement.

The team has come up with a low-cost ventilator using locally available



materials.

Zulqarnain said that the main problem the team faced was a lack of resources. The team tried many designs including a design developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.

The team came up with their frugal design, considering the resource constraints. The design has been made using advanced software and the team is satisfied with the results, he said.
