A group of inventors in south India have come together to demonstrate a low-cost respirator they developed to help meet increasing demand as coronavirus spreads throughout the country. <br /><br />The technically-skilled trio, named Ebin, Karthik and Gautam, come from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, and demonstrated their IPPV, or Intermittent Positive Separation Ventilator, as seen in footage from April 9. <br /><br />They said the device was designed to help patients breathe artificially and to help people in times of crisis. They said that this could be done at a cost of INR 10,000 (around £100), and claim their equipment could be manufactured at a rate of one hundred units per day.
