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 ...

Electric-power production is a conservative business; it makes electricity just as it did more than a century ago—by driving copper wires through magnetic fields. That is all that happens in the huge, ...

MHD Generators could make zero emission coal generators affordable and efficient and MHD generators could also make nuclear power for space very light with an energy density of one to three kilograms ...

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 ...

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 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.
