Abstract :
This paper presents Bio Fuel Cell (BFC) with gold catalyst. In this paper, partly complete model of one implantable BFC is fabricated, and the effect of blood´s circulation on the power of fuel cell is probed. The material of cathode and anode consequently are cloth Carbone and gold, and the membrane is made of PVA-PAA, which is an electrically insulated polymer and has the capability of diffusion in glucose. Likewise, the water is circulated by wheel, which turned at 180 rpm.
