Summary:The authors deal with the results of the development of a linear
pulse motor-driven artificial heart with left and right blood pumps. A
small size and high thrust linear actuator is required in the
development of such artificial hearts. In the present paper, the authors
describe the structure and characteristics of these high power linear
pulse motors. The results of a mock circulatory test of an artificial
heart having two blood pumps which are driven by high power linear pulse
motors are also described by the authors
