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!
Jeremy: We've been supplying flexible insulated electrical heating jackets to industrial users of pressurised gas cylinders for many years. It's a common problem, relatively easily solved. We just need size/dimensions of tank, ambient temperature, indoor or outdoor, and preferably photographs of the tank to start dialogue. Most common problem is variable flow due to pressure variations with lower ambient temperatures. Email me using mark@drumheating.com to discuss further.
Hope we can help!
We've also started making full face visors to CE standards - to give away free of charge to any front line need - and found it difficult to engage with the "official" channels despite using all the recommended routes.
