Abstract :
In order to achieve wireless energy transmission of artificial heart implemented in the body, a transcutaneous energy transmission system is designed using non-contact coupling to transfer power based on electromagnetic induction. Switch control circuitry is used in the system to convert external DC into high frequency AC(HFAC). The HFAC is coupled to the secondary circuit at the transcutaneous transformer, then rectified and supplied to the artificial heart pump and the internal batteries. The output voltage information is fed back to the control unit of the primary side using a wireless communication link.
