Looks like something Tony Stark would build. In a cave! With a box of scraps!
I hope that should have said "...so far". Did he survive 101 days?
He got a transplant after 100 days, according to the article. This was just to keep him alive until he was able to receive it. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/12/australian-man-survives-100-days-with-artificial-heart-in-world-first-success
Fuck yeah, good for him.
Current artificial hearts are not intended to be long-term solutions, but instead be a temporary way to keep someone alive when their heart fails, but a donor heart is unavailable.
Pretty damn cool tech tho. Another step towards second heart cyberware
having to carry a battery that I need to have plugged into my heart for it to work is literally nightmare fuel for me though, there's so many ways I could imagine myself unplugging it accidentally, breaking the battery or breaking the cable
"Has anyone seen my heart charger?"
"Sorry, borrowed it to charge my phone"
Just get one with a torsion spring instead and wind it up every day.
Looks heavy af
A heart's a heavy burden~
Incredible!
It looks like it's made out of pipe fittings from the hardware store! I thought it would be more smooth and organic looking.
Looks perfectly steam punk.
everyone who saw this is gonna be erased from history
He got his own turbo /s
