A Transcutaneous Energy Transmission For A Novel Rechargeable Cardiac Pacemaker
TL;DR: In this paper, a flat transformer for a resonant converter which transfers several W of power across a large variable human skin gap is presented and built, which can power a novel cardiac pacemaker battery through intact skin by using a novel transformer with an air gap.

Abstract: A flat transformer for a resonant converter which transfers several W of power across a large variable human skin gap is presented and built. The converter can power a novel cardiac pacemaker battery through intact skin by using a novel transformer with an air gap, which is 10 mm - 15 mm. The integrated equation analysis for a presumption on magnetic flux distribution in the transformer is presented, and coupling coefficient and conversion efficiency are measured with an experimental set up.
