For decades Russia has devoted considerable resources to develop a light compact propulsion as well as power system for future space ships. Over the years Russia has developed a number of different ...

MHD or Magnetohydrodynamic generators are a scientific curiosity. They promise power generation using a fully green, zero maintenance, zero moving part power method. Nothing, but the power of ...

Prospects for a low specific mass multi-megawatt nuclear space power plant were examined assuming closed cycle coupling of a high-temperature fission reactor with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy ...

A way of generating electricity to drive systems on a scramjet-powered aircraft will be tested this month. A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator, using the interaction of magnetic fields with the ...

The TSU Research Institute of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics and their colleagues from the Federal Research and Production Center "Altai" and the State Research Center of the Russian Federation ...

The possibility of generating useful amounts of electricity by blowing hot gas between the poles of a magnet has long intrigued adventurous physicists. Many have tried to turn the trick, but until Dr.

Scientists in Beijing say they have developed a generator that can turn hot gas moving at hypersonic speeds into an intense electric current capable of powering futuristic weapons. The electricity ...
