A heart's a heavy burden~

It looks like it's made out of pipe fittings from the hardware store! I thought it would be more smooth and organic looking.

Looks perfectly steam punk.

I hope that should have said "...so far". Did he survive 101 days?

Current artificial hearts are not intended to be long-term solutions, but instead be a temporary way to keep someone alive when their heart fails, but a donor heart is unavailable.

He got a transplant after 100 days, according to the article. This was just to keep him alive until he was able to receive it. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/12/australian-man-survives-100-days-with-artificial-heart-in-world-first-success

Looks like something Tony Stark would build. In a cave! With a box of scraps!

Pretty damn cool tech tho. Another step towards second heart cyberware

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

having to carry a battery that I need to have plugged into my heart for it to work is literally nightmare fuel for me though, there's so many ways I could imagine myself unplugging it accidentally, breaking the battery or breaking the cable

Just get one with a torsion spring instead and wind it up every day.

"Has anyone seen my heart charger?"

"Sorry, borrowed it to charge my phone"

If that's not just some AI image, it hurts me to think about them stretching arteries over those barb fittings.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It really looks that crazy

Testing the device seems fun.

But you definitely are gonna have to stretch those arteries
