This feasibility study sought to design and construct a Dual- Power Nebulizer using locally available materials and manpower.

Specifically, this study attempted to:

1. design, construct, and revise a Dual- Power Nebulizer.

2. test the efficacy and acceptability of the Dual-Power Nebulizer.

The dual- power nebulizer was so designed and constructed to save money and to be used in time of emergencies especially during blackouts and in time of traveling. The device has an input voltage of twelve (12) volts with an output of two hundred twenty (220) volts. It can be charge using rechargeable batteries or electrical sources. The materials used gathered from junk/ scrap shop and if new resources are desired, same gadgets can be bought in the market. During the testing of Dual-Power Nebulizer, the researchers evaluated its efficacy by testing the time it took to dissolve the nebulae using the battery and electricity as the source of power. Initially, it was found out that improvised device did not last long since it was only functional for about twenty- one seconds so it underwent revision to improve its semiability. In addition; a new battery of 12 volts was used to replace the 6 volt cells. The battery can be charged within the span of three to five hours, the battery can last for two hours. Results of the study revealed that it is feasible to construct a Dual- Power Nebulizer because the design and construction are simple, supplies and materials are available in the local market. The total cost of the completed product is P 1126.50
