I was president of the IET for 2016-17, and have been asked by government to gather practical and innovative ideas from our Engineering communities. So, please enter any ideas you might have in this thread that might help address and mitigate the Covid-19 crisis. Ideas might include digital tracking / monitoring through therapy equipment and beyond. Even ideas outside your usual expertise domain will be welcome. Now’s the time for Engineering to show we can change the world!
Hi Rob, I have limited know how here. I have 3m FFP3 and elastomer masks and have posted a question on their customer service message board.
There are dangers of combustion / fire clearly if anything is put in microwave. The FFP3 masks have a metal nose piece/ band which could create high volts / arcing.
Yes it would indeed be good to get input from viro / biological experts, the motive seems worthwhile.
