Aqua IRS
Goal
Develop individual respiratory system, based on full face snorkeling mask for personal and medical ussage.
Description
Individual Respiratory System should provide SarS-COV2 protection at first. AquaIRS version based on standard full face snorkeling masks, popular in many places all over the world.
This masks provides full face protection from outer air, aerosols and physical touches. They have build-in air gates, that can be easily turned to any way or just blocked. Also masks have separated airways from bottom and top parts, and this can be used for in-out separation.

Fusion360 models
https://a360.co/39SNKtb - v1, with separated in/out pipes. Designed to be used with water pipes 20mm outer dia.
https://a360.co/2VjoF5h - connector base. Use it to test fits on your mask.
https://a360.co/2wwl3Vb - currently testing model, designed to use HEPA PM2.5 as main filter-membrane (under green-colored net) and "any towel-tissue" as prefilter membrane (under yellow cover). Red part is a gate, uses one gate from mask, required to prevent breath-out air going to filter.
Done:
- technical research almost done
- basic components for development and tests found and ordered
- connector base for mask developed and tested
- mask tested
Current:
- waiting for components delivery
- developing new design, optimized for fast printing
Materials and components, required for development now:
- new diving masks of 2-3 different types for connector testing
Next:
- designing nice models for HEPA and active carbon filters
- text/video documentation
