Technology helping fight the coronavirus COVID-19 is just a amazing story. Already believed to be helping hundreds of peoples lives using a simple snorkel and 3D printer.
Isinnova a small start up Italian company has shared there easy to make 3D file for the valve for anyone to use for free to help people during this pandemic. They have named it the Charlotte Valve.
By simply connecting the 3D-printed C-PAP (continuous positive airway pressure) with a easybreath snorkeling mask made by decathlon with a oxygen supply it will work just like a ventilator explains Alessandro Romaioli.

i really intersted with what have u done here, if you dont mind, i’d like to ask more about the respirator and try to print it here in Indonesia, offcourse we’ll put your credit in those design and all. we workin on some project to help hopitals facing this corona pandemic.
Hi Lorenz, Sadly we can’t be credited with this great invention to help with coronavirus ventilation problems. An amazing Italian technology start-up Isinnova is the talent who have come up with the idea. The 3D printing plans are downloadable here https://www.isinnova.it/download/valve-2/. I hope it helps during this pandemic. Stay safe
