Abstract
The paper deals with the result of development on a linear pulse motor driven artificial heart with left and right blood pumps. The linear pulse motor(LPM-S90) has the static thrust of 107 newtons and kinetic thrust of 65 newtons. The volume of the artificial heart is 520 milliliters, the mass is 1.2 kilograms, and the stroke volume of each blood pump is 60 milliliters. Omnicarbon valves were used as artificial valves. The mean flow rate of the artificial heart using linear pulse motor was 5.3-5.7 liters/min at 100 beats/min and at the aortic pressure of 80mmHg in a mock circulatory test.
