Magneto-hydrodynamics- Check out Hoymiles for your Solar Micro-Inverters Today! geni.us/Inverters
Magnetic water pumps with no moving parts recently took the internet by storm with multi-million-view KZbin videos showing you how to build one at home. While most of those videos are fake, MHD isn’t. It’s a very real field of physics, and its applications are super surprising. So how do they work and what might they allow us to do? Let's figure this out together!

I am absolutely disgusted that you can say your electricity consumption averages 1.8kW 24hrs a day, 30 days a month, without any sign of guilt on your face. I have NEVER in the 53 years of my life used more than 60kWhr a month for a house and engineering shop combined. Even if you drive a battery EV you would need to drive 5hrs per day to consume that much if its any kind of efficient. I operate a cruising yacht with all systems including electric Auxiliary, and tender, with two crew, and we usually require far less than half a kilowatt hour per day of solar generation. Stop pushing for exponential growth of consumption and screwing the planet with your pathological obsessions with compensation for you inadequacies by excessive displays of obscene extravagance and disposable consumer culture.! 😝

The CONDUCTIVITY of the fluid is crucial. While MHD is useful for some fluids like liquid metals or molten salts, even seawater is a bit sketchy. And you can pretty much forget using MHD pumps for salt-free freshwater. But as always, there could be a place for this, and your videos are great as always.

Yes. And some of the dialogue indicates that, in the mid-Eighties (the period of the story and film), they would have been using liquid helium to cool superconductors. "I have to find out what's wrong first! It could be a problem with the liquid helium or even the superconductors!" - Capt. 2nd Rank Melekhin, chief engineer And of course in that era, if it had been well-enough developed, only a nuclear-powered ballistic-missile submarine could have afforded the power requirements. Then again, the very mission of a "boomer" requires that kind of silence, so I can well believe that the Soviet Navy of that era - or the Russian Navy today - would invest in that kind of project. Those Russians love to build 'em big, and even today they build the deepest-diving submarines in the oceans today. I've seen no report - yet - that the Russians have built a boomer, or a fast-attack, with an MHD drive. But the Japanese never stopped experimenting with it, and I believe they built an experimental submarine.

@mikefochtman7164 10 ай бұрын

A variant that I've seen used in several applications is MHD flow-meters. Small isolated electrodes inside the pipe, surrounded by a strong electromagnet. As the fluid flows, the electrodes can measure the small voltage generated and signal the velocity of the fluid. Using very sensitive electronics that don't require a lot of current, it works with only weakly conductive fluids. Once you have velocity and known pipe size, the volumetric flow rate is easy to calculate.

Yep, I immediately noticed that error. I did know that the higher the temperature difference (or deltaT), the better the efficiency. Maybe the numbers were just shown for illustration purposes, but they really should not be written that way. You need to correct that formula. Otherwise, that was a very interesting video! Now if that room temperature superconductive material is real (which I really doubt), that would make way for some crazy new technologies.

Technically it does not eliminate them as you could in therory try to pull in water faster than than it can move into your intake and cause cavitation bubbles but as a pratical mater you are correct. Youd have other material stress issues elsewhere if you could pump the water that fast let alone the power generation issues needed to pump that much current and that strong of a magnetic field on anything mobile.

Especially for industrial designs we may not need to wait for a true High Temperature Superconductors, the MIT ARC reactor is using a superconducting ribbon tape which is in current practical use with its fusion reactor design. Isn't it possible to adapt that tape for use in improving the efficiency of current fossil fuel based energy production methods and thus immediately address the level of CO2 production in those power plants, through efficiency gains and thus find that we need fewer new power plants? To be sure that may be true for many other large applications as well, such as, if it were integrated into the propulsion systems of ocean going cargo ships.
