Intake Air Duct System
Extendable duct system that allows for collective air management (including filtering, setting
of parameters such as pressure, flow rate, temperature, and so on.) Using a single duct system,
tens of patients can be ventilated simultaneously.

The individual patients'
breathing modules can
be connected modularly
to the intake air duct
system and the exhalation
duct system. Each
breathing module
comprises a controllable
oxygen blender and a
controllable threepassage valve as well as
software for individually
controlling the breathing Patient-Zone
parameters of the patient Breathing Module
(such as respiration count,
volume, pressure, oxygen
concentration).

Exhalating Duct System
The exhaled gases are also collected in a closed duct system and the transported gas is
filtered before ventilating into outdoor air, whereby nurses and doctors are protected from
inhaling the highly contagious gases exhaled by the infected patients.

project is based at Óbuda University
and supported by many collaborating public and private partners (see
"MassVentil Initiative") (Figure 3).
Mass Ventilator System
Developer Community
Because the COVID-19 epidemic is
spreading fast, Dr. Kozlovszky called
on an international community including engineers, researchers, inventors,
medical doctors, economists, journalists, physicists, mathematicians,
lawyers, and university students. The
MassVentil community members live
in various countries and are of different nationalities. The members work
in parallel on subtasks and stay connected online. (See "Contact and Further Information"). All community
members of the team volunteered to
contribute the best of their knowledge to this project. They strongly
believe that together, their intellectual capital and our collective work
