This mask is designed in such a way that there is an intake of 8 litres of oxygen in normal conditions if you are exercising then probably 10 to 12 litres and there are silent fans with a speed of 8500rpm intake as well as exhaust."We had miniaturised it so normal people cannot use it, we have tried to ensure that this mask is reusable and it's battery-powered so it should be rechargeable, all these features have been kept in mind, this is the first time that the players have gotten a special mask designed for them, players will get a continuous supply of air and they will be protected from the virus as well," he signed off.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
