Abstract :
A new structure transcutaneous transformer for a totally implantable artificial heart is presented which has a high coupling coefficient and transmission efficiency. Experimental results indicate that it is possible to transmit an electrical energy of 20 W transcutaneously with a maximum efficiency of more than 90%
