Plasma Ring: MHD Induction

The document discusses plasma ring and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) induction. It describes how water is converted into plasma using microwaves and how MHD induction works by inducing currents in a moving conductive fluid using magnetic fields. It then explains that an MHD induction machine consists of a channel with a flowing electrically conducting fluid and exciting windings that produce a traveling magnetic field, inducing currents in the fluid through relative motion between the field and fluid.

produced by a klynstron

The plasma is used as a method of magnetohydrodynamic induction. I call it


electrogravitation because it is not anti gravity, it works with the forces of nature.

The fundamental concept behind MHD is that magnetic fields can induce currents in a moving
conductive fluid, which in turn polarizes the fluid and reciprocally changes the magnetic field
itself. The set of equations that describe MHD are a combination of the Navier–Stokes equations
of fluid dynamics and Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism. These differential equations
must be solved simultaneously, either analytically or numerically.

The MHD induction machine, consists of a channel containing a flowing electrically conducting
fluid and a set of exciting windings that produce a traveling magnetic field. Currents are induced
in the fluid because of the relative motion between the field and fluid. The force of electrical
origin, on account of the interaction of the magnetic field and the fluid current, is always in a
direction such that the fluid tends to travel at the same velocity as the field.

   

Operation modes:
If the fluid velocity v is less than the field phase velocity vs , the force accelerates the fluid,
energy is transferred to the fluid, and the device acts as a pump or accelerator.
If v is greater than vs , the force opposes the motion and the machine is a generator,
converting mechanical energy to electrical energy.
If v and vs are in opposite directions, the machine is a flow damper, absorbing both
mechanical and electrical energy.
At synchronous speed, v = vs , there is no relative motion of the fluid and field, and
consequently no interaction.

So the MHD induction machine works basically as an induction (asynchronous) motor-generator.

There is no direct electrical connection to the fluid, so that all fluid currents are due to a
combination of transformer and motional induction. The effect of the fluid is detected from the
electrical terminals only by the change in the electrical impedance, or equivalently, the
electromagnetic fields. If there is to be an appreciable energy transfer relative to the stored
magnetic energy, which is required for high efficiency, the induced magnetic field attributable to
the fluid currents must be comparable with the applied magnetic field. Approximate solutions for
the magnetic field or complete neglect of the induced field are not valid. The real part of the
terminal impedance, representing the energy transfer to or from mechanical form, is negative for
operation as a generator. The imaginary part is always inductive, requiring external capacitive
energy storage.
