“Texas scientists” - this is almost expected. And you won’t have a heartbeat: > Less than 48 hours later, Lewis was sitting up, talking and using his laptop. When doctors put the stethoscope to Lewis’s heart, all they heard was a steady whir of what sounded like a boat propeller… > > … the device has a large and small blade on opposing sides of the rotor. The small blade pushes blood through the heart’s right chamber, to the lungs, and the larger blade pumps out blood through the left chamber to the rest of the body. > > … the device operates by being suspended in a powerful magnetic field, which prevents the wear and tear common in technology designed for pumping blood. Two magnetic fields also control the blades’ oscillations, which each rotate an average of 2,000 times a minute depending on whether a person is standing, sitting up, exercising or coughing. > **[Living without a pulse: Engineering a better artificial heart | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2013/12/04/health/permanent-artificial-heart/)** > > The human heart beats more than 86,000 times a day, 35 million times a year.
