Mechanical Heart!

Featured Replies

Do you think it’s possible to design a mechanical heart? Well, a pumps that is powered by heat that can eventually replace our heart’s function pumping blood around the body!

 

The human body is really a process plant, so surely we can replace functions of our organs!

 

The brain is the control unit so it will take time to reproduce something of that scale! Even internal organs such as kidney, liver and lungs are very complex in design!

 

BUT, the heart is a very simple organ. So don’t you think a simple mechanical pump can do its job?

 

What do you think? Say goodbye to heart disease?

yeah, we've made mechanical hearts. there was one guy who had no pulse for five years because of one.

 

also, they wouldn't be powered by heat. where would the heat sink be? you need a temperature difference to get any work out of it. a battery is much more likely.
