Simple Magnetohydro-dynamic Drive Prototype with Neodymium Magnets
Introduction Back in 2021 I built 2 prototypes of magnetohydrodynamic drives. Although it sounds fake it is quite real. According to the Alexandria Engineering Journal “The basic principle of MHD is straightforward; a unidirectional current is established through an electrically conducting fluid such as seawater. Then, a high intensity magnetic field perpendicular to the current…
