I have even sort of taken a sideways look at some way to attache the nasal pillows to my nose and not need head gear or the mouth guard or anything else.
Now someone has take my dream one step further and stuck a blower of some sort in it. Is something like this what our children's children will be seeing as routine? Who knows. I just know that in my lifetime I have seen things that I would have never dreamed of.
Remember when 4 MB RAM on a computer was a HUGE investment and a Gigabyte hard drive was so far out there it was for super computers and not for us peopons? And now my new cell phone has 32 GB and more RAM than I would have ever thought possible back in the early 90's when Windows was just a sparkle in Gates eyes and I was doing everything by DOS commands.
In a teeny tiny cell phone...Still sort of amazes me the leaps and bounds I have seen in just the past 20 to 30 years.
Some new ideas that people come up with now may be run of the mill routine in the years to come. Some new ideas will fail. It's the progression of technology and there will always be progression.
Is this little gadget something that will find a market share and work?...that remains to be seen but I for one think it is cool that someone is even thinking of something like this.
Pie in the Sky, is nice, but for now we live in the real world, and have to live by the rules of physics as we know them, as with all things, change comes, like building with blocks.

Yeah but if we don't dream and wish and try to improve anything/ourselves then it's a pretty bleak pie and I am not going to stop dreaming and wishing for a lot of things just because right now it doesn't seem possible given what we know right now. Doesn't mean we won't know more in 5 years or 10 years or whenever.
I am a realist but I do allow myself to dream the impossible dream sometimes.
And a few of those impossible dreams have come true...at least for me.
Don't/can't/won't...never got much of anything done.

What about a change strap??? I have Severe OSA. My CPAP is set at 17 units, and I'm about to go to 19. The air pressure is so great that it blows air out of my mouth UNLESS I force my mouth shUT with a chin strap.
Frankly, I have trouble believing this micro can supply the needed pressure. But, if it can, what about my mouth? So much for being strapless.

It didn't always work correctly. It was huge and expensive. I took the class because Tom Radzicki taught it. He was gorgeous! Back to the computer...the boys were allowed to punch holes too.

As do scams.
I would prefer to see more information about the backgrounds and qualifications of the people behind this thing.

Unfortunately, that’s not physical reality; it’s “virtual”, digitized artwork by White Rhino:

(Notice the tiny-print caption: “White Rhino’s 3D artist created product renderings designed to show that
while a prototype didn’t yet exist, the design and engineering was extremely well-thought out.”)
Also see the fundamental contradictions in the working maths of the tiny thing — fan, battery, humidity, cost:
