Once again, I will return to produce electricity for the help of the MHD generator. Everything is locally renowned roughly on the subject presented here.

From other sources I found out that the biggest difficulty was to obtain high stability of our power. But today, thanks to patent my friend, who at the end of the 60 lived in Krakow and was in the same club as me HAM. Station club had prefix SP9KHR and I ran as the transmitter of surplus U.S. - BC-610. My good friend, Tadeusz Bator, efficiently assisted me in this work and launched a SSB transmitter power of 1 kW at the club. A colleague at the beginning of the 70 he emigrated to Sweden. There, in 1982 received a U.S. patent on the device that we now effectively helps in achieving sustainable energy sources .. This is the patent as the inventor:

Now this version of the microprocessor is very popular, and we can easily obtain current, high stability of the MHD generator. It's an old idea with a new face ..
To be economically competitive, a coal-fired power station would have to combine an MHD generator with a Termionic generator in what is termed a binary cycle. The hot gas is first passed through the MHD generator (a process known as topping) and then on to the termionic of agenerating plant (the bottoming phase).
The third system is a framework for jet engine jet gases coming from the double thermal cycle. All three components are mounted, as in the classic treadmill, and drive generators disposed on the rotation axis, or to the external parts of the treadmill....
An MHD power plant employing such an arrangement is will known as an" open-three cycle".
