An implant that attaches to the bottom of the heart to generate electricity could finally offer the answer to powering pacemakers with the heart.
The generator, developed by researchers from Jiao Tong University and the Second Military Medical University, is made up of modified piezoelectric composites attached to a flexible capsule. The piezoelectric devices can withstand extreme deformation, and will generate electricity as the capsule compresses. In tests, a prototype of the device attached to the pericardial sac of an adult pig produced a continuous current of 15 μA.
