Powered AIR Respirator Purifying: Mohak Parikh

This document describes a powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR). PAPRs actively filter contaminated air and deliver clean air to the user. They have a higher protection level than N95 masks. The document then outlines the design and development process for a new PAPR, including concept sketching, CAD modeling, digital prototyping, physical prototyping, and testing of the final design.
