This article discusses features and advantages of BiVACOR, an artificial heart machine. It also presents a brief overview of medical successes of Billy Cohn, a medical doctor. The BiVACOR heart is a rotary pump with a single moving part that consists of two impellers on a magnetically suspended rotor. Cohn along with his older brother built homemade gadgets, rocket engines, and a variety of incendiary devices in the garage. As Cohn progressed in his medical career, he never stopped tinkering. He was fast becoming one of the finest heart surgeons in the country, yet he spent his free time in his home workshop, prototyping medical devices to assist his operations. Cohn and O.H. ‘Bud’ Frazier, a cardiac surgeon who had performed more than 1000 heart transplants, led the work on AbioCor from the Texas Heart Institute in Houston and worked on a completely novel approach to artificial heart design—continuous flow. The heart, built by the two surgeons, is set out to build would replace those metaphorical flappy wings with fixed ones.

Abstract Application of non-contact, rotary pump for use in artificial heart is highly efficient and prevent thrombosis formation. This paper introduces two types of test design; one is using radial type combined motor-bearing with centrifugal pump. The water pumping test is carried out to confirm the performance. The other one is using axial type combined motor-bearing. The axial type motor controls only one degree-of-freedom in z direction. To control two tilt directions a hybrid (HB) type tilt magnetic bearings are attached on the other surface. Hence it has three active control degrees. Experimental results of the proposed rotary pumps show high potential for its application in artificial heart.
