Artificial heart used magnetic water to pump the blood

Suprock Engineer Chris and his team at Suprock Technology Company in Exeter, New Hampshire are using magnetic water to create artificial heart that has no mechanical parts or engines.

Artificial heart a new approach applied to simulate a real heart contracting to eject fluid. The first prototype heart is made from the elastic membrane containing water attached to a frame. When the magnet below is enabled, it sucks the magnetic particles suspended in liquid, making the "skin" stretched. Combining few devices can simulate the heart's pumping action. Suprock said membrane approach is explored using pneumatic or hydraulic, however, they have found magnetic water helping controlling more accurate and more reliable than before.
Furthermore, magnetic water was run by electric energy can be supplied from outside the body without contact with the body. The team is considering two different designs: one design uses two chambers design of the valve and the second use water from the roller pump in the tomb. According Suprock, second design is more promising because it does not require valves or mechanical structure preventing from interruption of the flow.
The existing device supporting the left ventricular (LVADs) were implanted to boost the pumping action of the left ventricle. These devices use turbine pumps blood that can cause damage because they make the cut. Magnetic water system from the pump made the move of the pump more gently that will reduce this pressure. This system can also be cheaper because you do not need the stand or detail work. |
