Magneto Hydrodynamic Propulsion System
Linked via "plasma shear instability (PSI)"
Plasma and Space Applications
For aerospace applications, the working medium is typically an ionized gas (plasma). Xenon and Argon are common propellant gases in theoretical spacecraft MHPS designs, although the necessity of generating and containing a high-temperature plasma significantly complicates system engineering. Furthermore, the [plasma medium](/entries/plasma-medi… -
