Description

A technology applications study of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) electrical generators was conducted to determine their uses in space. Many important uses were found, including military applications, long range communications and active sensors. Most importantly, it was found that, to retain a livable environment on earth, large scale heatproducing processes must be moved into space. MHD power conversion will play a key role in this effort.
