Project Summary
|
Project Information
|
The senior design team P12026 will be designing a
way to transmit wireless power through a medium
such as skin. The purpose of this project is to
provide power to a Left Ventricular assist device
(LVAD) that would be implanted into the human body.
The wireless power will eliminate the need for a
wire to pass through the skin to power the LVAD.
The senior design team (P12026) will build a
prototype and test the device on P12022 teams
testing bed. The two teams, P12026 and P12022, will
work together to meet the customers needs. The
customer, Dr. Steven Day, is interested in wireless
power transmission through some means other than
induction.
