Ran across a design for a one way valve and kinda think it can work in conjunction for making a featureless and or sealed muzzle head (Muzzle won't have an opening) And while the visual aesthetics of a 'sealed' head look amazing, breathing for long periods of time will be greatly hampered. I saw this valve and think it can work with a design...

Essentially using one ear, with supporting track of the valve, for intake and the other exhaust for breathing. The 'V' shaped tubes across the head would have the valve shape inside them, and come down to an opening above the nose. Inside there would be a "hollow" in the muzzle around the mouth area.
Only problem I am running into with creating the system, is that from the mouth to the ears, the valve assembly has to be sealed. This requires an air barrier around the muzzle 'cup', face and along the valves themselves. I can cut the shapes from foam and route it anywhere along the shape of the outer animal head, though sealing the foam...
Could make everything out of neoprene, but the suction could draw the valve path shut... With something harder, it may effect the weight of the head, and or cause injury when blindly headbutting something XD
Guess it needs research! Making a head and figuring out what works XD
The idea is for a rather rigid system that doesn't have any hazardous materials or adhesive, but is also flexible on impact, but nothing hard enough to injure the wearer...

Use the inside of a gasmask or medical respirator for your proper seal. It will create that without hindering anything, and because the system already has one-way valves in mind, you can route it to and from anywhere without needing to use Tesla valves.
Hit up Takumori here on FA and Twitter, he has made some intricate mouthless rubber heads with such designs and it works great ( I own one of them ) even an orca one where it intakes and exhales through the blowhole on the top of the head

If I understand the valves and their design, they eliminate the restrictive turbulence a smoothed wall tube has. Plus there are no moving parts involved, nothing to tend to in a mechanical nature and nothing that could go wrong. Simplicity in design, but the complexity moves to production/implementation.
I'll give em a poke, see what they say!

From what reading I've done on the subject, it would seem a simple one-way check valve (of which various types exist) would be far easier to impliment, simply because such valves are already in widespread use, and can be gotten in a size that would easilly fit inside the ears or muzzle, hiding them from view.
In addition check valves would forego the need to make a complicated custom airway assembly and would instead allow the use standard air tubing (which is also avilable with reinforced metal ribbing, so-called "armoured" tubes). While I guess one *could* fabricate a Tesla Valve and then sheath it inside a non-crushable tube, this assembly would need to be a lot thicker in order to achieve the same airflow as the simple tubes allowed by a check valve design.
Finally, Tesla Valves do allow some backflow at low fluid speeds, which in this application is undesirable because exhaled air will be mixing with intake air more than if a check-valve was used. I don't know if the amount of backflow would be significant enough to matter, but it would still be a thing to take into consideration.
Still, Tesla Valves are really neat, and I thank you for making me aware of their existance. I hope you manage to take this project somewhere, it'd be amazing to see it made.
