ELECTRODELESS MHD GENERATOR RESEARCH, PART 2, LABORATORY FACILITY AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

Abstract

The problem was to experimentally determine the feasibility of AC electrodeless Magnetohydro dynamic Power Generation, utilizing a model generator. The analysis, development, and test model operation involved the design, construction, and testing of the component units which comprise the plasma arc lab facility. The lab facilities provided for the conduction of the experimental investigation and the design of the generator test model, which involved Plenum and Mixing Chamber, Seeder, Supersonic Nozzle, Test Section, Diffuser, Power Extraction Coils, Coil Power Supply, Phase Nulling Network, and other instru mentation. Electrodeless AC MHD power generation was experimentally observed, and extracted power from the plasma recorded during test operation of the model.
