Has anyone ever tried making their own mask?

RE: Has anyone ever tried making their own mask?
There has been talk lately about the microCPAP device from Airing Inc.

   

It looks neat, but I have big reservations about it's ability to pump sufficient air, and especially store sufficient energy.
see http://www.fundairing.com/journal/2015/4...pap-device

Here's an interesting analysis which covers those points:

Is has some useful figures on pressure and volume for those who are thinking of building their own mask.

Some more calculations:

gzimmer - This scam has been around for several years and periodically rears its head every so often. It's right up there with snake oil and perpetual motion machines.

Yes.

Which is why I pointed to various links which call it a Scam.

Nevertheless I thought some of the discussion was relevant to those who are thinking about building a mask or even a CPAP machine.
