Title: MHD I: Demonstrate Magnetohydrodynamic Propulsion in a Minute
Url: https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2006/mhd-i-demonstrate-magnetohydrody...
Publisher: Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories
Description: Remember the silent caterpillar drive from the movie The Hunt for Red October? The caterpillar drive was a fictional magnetohydrodynamic propulsion system. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) propulsion is a means of using electrical current, instead of a noisy propeller, to push a ship through the water. Surprisingly enough, a working example of this futuristic drive system is quite easy to build. Assuming that you've got the materials handy, you can build one in about a minute. This is a great student project or a good demonstration.
