A SURVEY OF MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATORS

Abstract

In this survey, emphasis has been given to the description and reporting of work concerned with the various types of MHD generators rather than to the advances of materials study for the generators or the integration of the generator into the overall power plant scheme. These associated studies have been mentioned only briefly. The survey is presented in two sections: the first deals with DC and the second with AC MHD generators. The basic principles of operation together with some of the performance data are given for the generators discussed. The present operating status is presented together with the predicted developments.
