He named it Cov-Tech Ventilation System which comes with a lithium-ion battery that lasts for 6 to 8 hours. "Cov-Tech Ventilation System is like you are sitting under the fan even while you are inside the PPE suit. It takes the surrounding air, filters it and pushes it into the PPE suit. Normally, due to lack of ventilation, it is hot and humid within the PPE suit; our solution offers a way out of this uncomfortable experience, by creating a steady airflow inside," Mr Nihaal explained.
