Walking, leg support belt can generate electricity for artificial heart use

Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in humans, and artificial heart is a manual device that can partially or completely replace heart function temporarily or permanently. Although several clinical applications of complete artificial heart have been carried out in the world, it is necessary to go through a relatively long process in order to apply it on a large scale in clinical practice.

The artificial heart at this stage, the energy supply and the miniaturization of it into the body for years of use are still a major problem. Recently, the research and development team "Farmers" composed of Rice University students developed equipment to convert the kinetic energy generated by exercise into electric energy directly into the artificial heart of the body, thus maintaining the normal operation of the artificial heart. Perhaps one day in the future, people only need to take a walk to ensure that the artificial heart in the body continues to beat.

The prototype of the device is a leg support strap that has been modified to convert the kinetic energy generated by each knee flexion into electrical energy to power the artificial heart. It is worth mentioning that the prototype of this device is not the first time. Similar products have appeared a few years ago. After years of hard work, the third generation model can finally rely on walking to generate electricity.

The R&D team said that this generation of prototypes is lighter and more wearable than before. And the current version is extremely comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time. From the current situation, this modified leg support equipment has achieved staged success. Soon after, the team is expected to add a system that converts energy into electricity and can be directly converted to storage in lithium-ion batteries.

Only the Farmers team is not satisfied, and in the future they hope to be able to supply power to the artificial heart by wireless transmission.
