The Kearny air pump is an expedient air pump used to ventilate a shelter. The design is such that a person with normal mechanical skills can construct and operate one. It is usually human-powered and designed to be employed during a time of crisis. It was designed to be used in a fallout shelter, but can be used in any situation where emergency ventilation is needed, such as after a hurricane. It was developed from research performed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory by Cresson Kearny and published in Nuclear War Survival Skills. The basic principle is to create a flat surface with vanes that close when moving air and open when going back to the starting position. The design was derived from the punkah. ==See also== * Kearny fallout meter * ''Nuclear War Survival Skills'' (ISBN 0-942487-01-X) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kearny air pump」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
