“…For the electrical aspect, the MHD system includes the drive circuit for the propulsion system, the B field generation design, the equivalent resistance model of the seawater involving the electrolyte conduction loss, electrolysis loss, the parameters of the electrode and electrolyte interface, and the energy consumption of the propulsion. For the electric field (E) spreading in the fluid, the simulation of E distribution in [13] shows that the edges of the electrodes have a higher electric potential than the center, which is an ordinary parallel-plate characteristic. However, the experiment is at a significantly lower power level.…”

A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) thruster is the next-generation electric jet engine for maritime applications. It eliminates the moving mechanical components that make the noises and reduces physical harm to sea creatures. This paper finds that aluminum electrodes have higher conductivity and less capacitive value in a KCl solution than the 316 stainless steel and zinc in MHD applications. Further, the AC operation can mitigate the power loss during electrolysis and power loss while on the water. The new optimal coil design with the enclosed-type ferrite layout of the MHD thruster is addressed by this simulation study. The AC operation and electric drive with a Lorentz force analysis will be demonstrated. Lastly, a verification experiment that pushes the KCl solution at 3 cm/s will be interpreted by the prototype to display the electric operation detail.
