Abstract

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.
