Abstract

DTET(Dual Transcutaneous Energy Transmission System) is the stable power transferring unit for TAH(Total Artificial Heart) which uses more power than any other artificial organ. It has better efficiency and safety than an ordinary single TET. By reducing the load, it can reduce the change of supplying current for each single TET and it causes the lower change of efficiency. The increment of magnetic flux in coils enables delivering power through thick skin. It can enable internal batteries remove when will be used in a failure of TET, for a lithium ion battery has heavier weight than TET. A DTET should be studied the effect between each coils that generate magnetic flux. It should be compared the advantage with the weakness when it is used.
