The invention was inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic

A new type of ventilator, headscarf and anti-virus robot and hands-free doorknobs are just some of the innovations that have come up with the corona virus.

Since the outbreak, doctors, scientists, and designers have been working on many ideas to prevent the virus from spreading. The new ventilator successfully treated a Covid-19 patient and was supported by the Government of Wales.

Mass production of headscarf masks is underway, and the 3D design of the safety door knobs has been widely circulated. Bactericidal robots are 'expensive' in China, Italy and some countries in Europe and Asia.

Covid-19 Emergency ventilator

It takes only three days to design the new ventilator, but experts believe that this easy-to-make device can significantly reduce stress for health workers.

Dr. Rhys Thomas , Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen (Wales) was "extremely worried" about a lack of ventilator while patients with Covid infection were on the rise. In collaboration with engineering company CR Clark & ​​Co of Ammanford, he created a machine that not only helps patients breathe but also cleans the virus particles in the room.

"It is simple and effective, and specifically designed to fight the Covid virus in infectious environments. Although it will not replace ICU ventilators, most patients will not need special care if first they were treated with this ventilator, ' said Dr. Thomas.

"It also cleans the virus particles that are present in the room and provides pure air to the patient. The patient can take care of himself, and the nurses have time to do other tasks." , he shared further.

He said a patient in Llanelli who was treated with a machine on the weekend was "recovering well" . The Ministers of Wales have conducted to produce up to 100 ventilators per day.

Dr. Rhys Thomas has spent 17 years in the British Army, and made seven trips to Afghanistan.

'Anti-virus' hijab

The designers claimed that this mask could kill more than 95% of all viruses - including Covid-19.

The design team has been working with the Institute of Biotechnology at the University of Manchester since 2011 to create a virus-proof hood. And in the last five weeks, they've perfected their masks to cope with the ongoing pandemic.

This type of mask can kill more than 95% of viruses, including Covid-19.

'At present, we can produce 25,000 masks, which is the effort we can make in this moment. But soon, we hope to be able to produce about 1 million masks a week, ' said Anna Roberts of Virustatic Shield.

The company has been working with the government to expand the production of this product to health workers, and is currently awaiting an answer from the Wales government.

3D doorknob without hands

Wyn Griffiths came up with the idea after his wife examined a local hospital last week. She was forced to touch the doorknob with clean hands. That night, he designed a 'arm' to attach to the doorknob. You just need to put your arm in there and use force to open the door.

Griffiths has posted this 3D design online and can be downloaded for free by anyone.

"With this product, I hope 3D printer owners can help hospitals near where they live or anywhere across the country," he said.

Bactericidal robot

"Please leave the room, close the door and let the sterilization process begin , " the robot said. In a fake hospital, the autonomous machine is doing the job of killing bacteria with ultraviolet light. "Now robots can say this in Chinese," said Simon Ellison, vice president of UVD Robots.

"Our business is doing well - but the corona virus drives up demand , " said Per Juul Nielsen, the company's chief executive. He said a series of robotic trucks were shipped to China, especially Wuhan. Demand elsewhere in Asia and Europe has also increased.

"Italy is in great demand. They are really in a desperate situation. And of course, we want to help them , " he said.

Production was accelerated and it now takes less than a day to build a robot at the company's facility in Odense, Denmark's third largest city and a developing robot-making center.

Sterilizing robot, disinfect hospital.

The robot glows like light swords with eight bulbs that emit dense UV-C rays. Rays have the ability to kill bacteria, viruses and other harmful bacteria by damaging their DNA and RNA, making them unable to multiply.

This ray is also dangerous for humans, so no one should be in the room when the robot conducts disinfection. The work is done in 10-20 minutes, after which the air smells like burnt hair.

Professor Hans Jørn Kolmos, professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Southern Denmark, who helped develop the robot, explained: "There are a lot of problematic organisms that can cause infections. If you apply a dose If the UV light is suitable for a suitable amount of time, you can be fairly certain that you have eliminated these harmful organisms. "

He added: "This type of disinfection can also be applied to disease situations, as we have now - the corona virus pandemic."
