The BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart ( TAH ) is a compact, titanium-constructed device about the size of a fist.

It can pump blood at a rate of 12 liters per minute , which is enough to support an adult male during exercise.

It employs the same magnetic levitation technology used in high-speed rail lines, creating a frictionless environment for its single moving part.
