Abstract
Vayu : EMV is a project that is aimed at making a cost-effective, portable simple
structured efficient ventilator that would be able to solve multiple problems faced by the world.
During the Pandemic, the entire world saw that developing nations and under-developed nations
were at the most vulnerable moments as there was a scarcity of ventilators. Due to this, lives that
could have been saved with the help of an efficient breathing assistant were lost. Also, in the
scenario of natural disasters, it has been seen that irrespective of the nations that are affected by
it, countless lives are lost at sight but many more are lost while being transported to the nearest
healthcare facility. It has been observed that this loss is because of the unavailability of a
breathing assistant. If we see almost from every front there has been a similar pattern that has
been observed which would range from the scenario of warfare to natural disasters, and the
Pandemic. This pattern is an unavailable breathing system. This is why ventilators are very
important devices that can save lives in these cases but it is expensive, and heavy, and more
importantly to make them to combat the pandemic would require us to have a huge capital which
is inefficient in nations that are developing and under-developed. Our project’s objective is to
solve this exact problem and put forward before the world, a project that is capable of doing
ventilator work to a larger extent while being able to be cost-effective and portable such that it
can be mass-produced and serve the people.
