Now you can use elastic foams to replicate and create artificial heart beats

A cardiovascular apparatus has been created by engineers from synthetic, porous substance that’s, more or less, artificial hearts’ memory foam.

Based on a research paper released by the scientific journal of  Advanced Substances, the stuff, alternately called a poroelastic foam or an elastomeric foam was created using a 3D printer as well as a heart shaped mould which can be used more than once, which will significantly lower production costs in the event the model were eventually patented and hypothetically utilized as a typical goto plant.

The strawberry-formed elastomer foamer can also be pretty self sufficient, using pneumatic tubes and pumps to create “physiologically important frequencies and pressures … [achieving] a flow rate higher than all previously-reported soft pumps,” i.e., a soft robotic heart that mimics the manner a real heart would circulate blood, or, in the event of its evaluation run, “fluids and atmosphere.”

The reason? As the term “elastomeric” connotes, the stretchiness of the memory foam-like robo-cover, empowering it to pump in a more organic way (or, as the researchers themselves put it, makes it perfect or “vital for efficient pumping as it steers inflation inwards toward the internal fluid chambers”).
