Hi, Great spreadsheet!

I've posted details of a DIY Ventilator to Github https://github.com/kaiem/COVID-19_Ventilator_DIY_Prototype

Some ideas and building techniques may be useful to other projects. The prototype is functional, however it is not complete.

It comprises only 3D printed parts and household store items (no electronics). Valving uses hard 3D printed components with no reliance on flexible membranes. No need for Ambu bag, although could be incorporated if available.
