The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) drive certainly sounds like something out of science fiction — using an array of magnets and electrodes, this high-tech propulsion technology promises to silently propel ...

Within the next 15 years, NASA, China, and SpaceX plan to send the first crewed missions to Mars. In all three cases, these missions are meant to culminate in the creation of surface habitats that ...

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) squeezing flow describes the behaviour of electrically conducting fluids confined between two approaching surfaces under the influence of a magnetic field. As the surfaces ...

Magnetohydrodynamic flow dynamics in non-Newtonian fluids investigates how electrically conducting complex fluids respond to magnetic fields, combining electromagnetic forces with shear-dependent ...

Almost all satellites have some kind of thrusters aboard, but they tend to use them as little as possible to conserve chemical fuel. Reaction wheels are one way to make orientation adjustments without ...

The Pentagon’s advanced science division is taking a new look at a technology that promises to revolutionize how warships travel and fight in the world’s oceans. The Defense Advanced Research Projects ...

The agency claims the technology is 'simpler than conventional methods for control of hypersonic craft.' When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Summary: A groundbreaking development (that ended up being an April Fools joke…) for the Virginia-class: a story about a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) drive system. The Virginia-Class Is Getting a Big ...

To this end, the defence research organisation has launched the Principles of Undersea Magnetohydrodynamic Pumps (PUMP) programme, a 42-month effort aiming to build on the success of MHD at small ...
