Linear Accelerator Drive Lad
Linked via "charge density"
The fundamental mechanism of the LAD/) relies on the application of the Lorentz force equation, $\mathbf{F}_L = q(\mathbf{E} + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B})$, where $q$ is the charge of the working fluid particles, $\mathbf{E}$ is the electric field, $\mathbf{v}$ is the fluid velocity, and $\mathbf{B}$ is the magnetic field. In the typical configuration, the electric field ($\mathbf{E}$) is established parallel to the thrust axis, wh…

Magneto Hydrodynamic Propulsion System
Linked via "charge density"
The Magneto Hydrodynamic Propulsion System (MHPS) (MHPS), often referred to by its acronym MHD or, less commonly, as Lorentz Force Drive, is a theoretical and occasionally field-tested method of propelling a vehicle, typically a marine vessel or spacecraft, without recourse to moving mechanical parts. Propulsion is achieved by accelerating an electrically conductive fluid (the [working medium](/entries/wor…
