Lack of proper pressure and computerized fluid dynamics tests

Currently @0x2b3bfa0 is in lockdown and hasn't access to an air compressor nor any pneumatic measurement tools, so the project has only been tested with water.

Water-based tests

All the below tests were done by powering the device with the shower's hose.

Submerged povidone-iodine flow test

Submerged water-only flow test

Non-submerged water flow test

Lung simulation test

This test, done with the same methodology as the previous ones, (roughly) shows the correct operation of the system: the orange glove (lung) is pressed by hand to simulate a voluntary expiration, and is released to simulate the inspiration or inaction condition.

Pressure test

  • Maximum output pressure: 17 cmH2O
  • Maximum input flow rate: 4.25 litres per minute
