Paper Title
Design & Iterations of Phalss to Solve High Altitude Sickness Problems
Abstract
The paper mentions PHALSS (Personal High Altitude Life Saving System) a device designed to solve the problems of low oxygen and low atmospheric pressure in high altitudes. PHALSS are connected to the oxygen enrichment chambers. Oxygen enrichment chambers are a good way to get proper intake of oxygen, but it is not possible due to the heavy weight. In this scenario, the paper explains the need and iterations carried out to reduce the size of the whole system and make it smaller so that a person can carry it when going to high altitudes. The paper explans of the oxygen enrichment camber used in PHALSS and the various methods by which the size can be reduced. The diagrammatic representations and the measurements give a clear idea to the reader to the equipment and its various uses. The paper sets a target to be achieved in respect of the size of the oxygen enrichment chamber and the ways to achieve it. Overall, the paper gives a clear idea about oxygen enrichment chambers and using it to go to high altitudes.
