Magneto Hydrodynamic Propulsion System
Linked via "magnetic field"
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…

Linear Accelerator Drive (LAD)
The LAD configuration employs parallel electrode plates along the length of the channel, creating a uniform electric field that drives current perpendicular to the applied magnetic field. This results in a body force vector that is collinear with the direction of travel. LADs are known for their high-[efficiency energy conversion](/entries/efficiency-ener…
