Research of the modal of volume conduction energy transfer

One of the important technical problems of various implantable devices is about how to effectively supply sufficient energy to them working longly, steadily and reliably. Presently, only power supply of batteries and magnetic induction are widely used in clinic. Because the capability of battery is limited, implantable devices have short lives and low efficiency of energy transfer. We presents how to transfer electrical energy into rechargeable batteries in implantable device by using volume conduction of biology organism. The model of volume conduction energy transfer(VCET) is created by ANSYS V10, and we analyzed the energy transfer efficiency from simulation results and provided reference for further studying the modal of (VCET).
