I've worked in this industry, designing blood pumps, LVADs and yes, artificial hearts. What Dr Timms and his team at BiVacor have accomplished is truly amazing. They have been working on this for my entire 20+ year career. It's truly a marvel of modern engineering that deserves recognition.
Imagine having a backup heart installed.
Wooow, not a heart, but an engine. The strength and certainty of a steel
Do the defenders of IP say that the inventor of the artificial heart would not have invented this heart without the existence of IP law?
welp, there goes 90% of the value of the multiple hearts i have in my fridge
amazing technology. seriously.
"I realized the weakness of my flesh.."
Excellent piece thank you Da Gogo.
It wouldn't surprise me if I end up with one of these a ways down the track. I have heard of them before but not in so much detail.
Owning my own company it would also not surprise me if I ended up donating funds to this endeavour as soon as I am able.
Thx again champ, your work is most appreciated.
It’s only a matter of time before better technology maturity and durability for artificial hearts. I can see it being additively manufactured based on the patient body type with part consolidation and the freedom to optimise the fluid-structure path.
very goooood
I R O N M A N !
A breakthrough from Australia brings us closer to the holy grail—an artificial heart that could redefine modern medicine.
No heartbeat. Just a constant hum in your chest.
this has me saying 'what the f***' out loud for real man
Imagine getting an artificial heart from Temu
By the Omnissiah! A breakthrough! Bring the scented oils!
I heard that heart has a 100% success rate
The world is changing too fast.
How about we replace all of our organs with artificially made mechanical ones? Every single one, maybe even mind, then we'd finally know if souls exist
Hector is going to be running 3-rotor heart with maglev-tec.
Who else is waiting on the tariff video down the line
Sia has a song around this kinda thing
Wow this is the very concept of KISS. The previous artificial hearts were marred by over complexity. When you look at how simple this titanium heart is…. It really is KISS
Keep
It
Simple
Stupid
I wonder how will this affect a human psychologically. The heart beat does affect the mind emotionally and vice versa.
Its scam
How could you be so heartless!?
amazing
250 grands…ok.
cool
They didn't talk about this in the video, but is there something protecting the magnetic field that the maglev is creating? What happens if you get next to a strong magnetic field unintentionally? I'm not trying to be negative here but I didn't really see anything talking about potential downfalls or risk.
Wow! This is so cool
This is truly remarkable, you are amazing Dagogo, thank you so much for highlighting important topics like this!
Cyberpunk
now i am immortal awesome
We can charge our hearts now!
lacks RGB
If it needs a charging cable I just hope Apple don’t get their hands on the patent
NANOMACHINES SON
The battery is definitely a wear component. Definitely well worth it. I'm sure there will be further improvements.
A fellow Dan, from my home country, will one day save my life
Does that mean you wouldn't have a pulse?
The heart is not a pump. It's more of a mediator or a complex check valve with a "braking feature".
Youtube the heart is not a pump. The blood flows through and in/out of the heart, even before the heart is fully developed, and even after the heart dies. Mankind is barely beginning to understand the processes in the body as a whole, but the capillaries seem to function similar to how 400' tall trees pull water up to the canopy from the earth fighting gravity the entire way. They don't have hearts or pumps.
What I found out when looking into the literature is that, similar pumps can be used to reduce the strain on the heart. By doing that the heart can regenerate as I is less „stressed“. Sometimes even so much, that the pump can be removed and the original heart reconnected
"We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster"
Key words "those who can afford it". Hopefully my heart doesn't fail cause I likely will not have 200k.
V8 hearts lets goooo
