Magneto Hydrodynamic Propulsion System
Linked via "moving mechanical parts"
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…
