New device could allow your heartbeat to power pacemaker


Now it is possible of  powering a pacemaker with energy from a beating heart. An energy-harvesting device that works with electrical charge generated from motion could provide enough electricity to power a pacemaker. The prototype is currently being tested and could mean the end of battery operated pacemakers.
It is an experimental device that converts energy from a beating heart could provide enough electricity to power a pacemaker.
Such pacemakers could eliminate the need for surgeries to replace pacemakers with depleted batteries.
