Summary
This paper deals with an artificial heart with left and right ventricles, incorporating a linear pulse motor developed by the authors. We demonstrate that the linear pulse motor, with its high thrust/input power ratio, has considerable promise as the actuator for an artificial heart. The extent of technological development of each component in the artificial heart system in Japan is assessed.
