Arthur McDonald, a Queen’s University professor from Sydney, N.S. who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2015, told CTV News Channel that he is working with researchers from the TRIUMF particle accelerator in Vancouver and the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories at Chalk River, Ont. to create a simple ventilator made of parts that are easily found in Canada.
Ventilators, devices that feed air into human lungs no longer capable of breathing on their own, are in short supply as Canada battles the COVID-19 pandemic.a preliminary studyMcDonald said his team’s device is “about twice the size of a clock radio” and makes use of only the most essential parts of a typical ventilator. It uses simple parts for the valves, combined with a control unit similar to those used for particle physics experiments.
The word “simple” concerns me.
BRAVO,
Hey , go Canada! Go Queens!
When?

Someone already posted on here and Facebook one that was built for $100 and works. We're is your report on that. Or can only a Nobel winner do it and no one else.
Thank you, Sir!
The longer you are on a ventilator, the less likely for recovery. They won't tell you that. Ventilators are not a cure.
God bless you, sir.......🙏🇨🇦❤️😷

We never want the health of Canucks to be dependent on our countries again. Ever. ❤🇨🇦

Awesome!
