Though journal articles and newspaper reports suggest that three Hyman pacemakers existed or were intended; a patent, descriptive photographs and a written description of an earlier model and only a photograph of a later model exist. A replica of the earlier has been made based on the patent and description, and a new replica of the second based on a critical deconstruction and analysis of the photograph of the second with a modern circuit duplicating the function of the earlier circuit. Both replicas were "operational" in that stimuli were mimicked though not delivered and neither could under any circumstances actually resuscitate the heart. The design and construction of the second Hyman pacemaker are presented.
尽管期刊文章和报纸报道表明曾存在或打算制造三台海曼起搏器；但现存的只有一项专利、早期型号的描述性照片和文字说明，以及后期型号的一张照片。已根据专利和说明制作了早期型号的复制品，并通过对后期型号照片进行批判性解构和分析，结合复制早期电路功能的现代电路，制作了第二个型号的新复制品。这两个复制品都能“运行”，即能模拟刺激但无法实际传递刺激，而且在任何情况下都无法真正使心脏复苏。本文介绍了第二个海曼起搏器的设计与构造。
