HEAT SOURCE FOR MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC GENERATOR (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H02K44/08 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: according to the first version, the heat source for a magnetohydrodynamic generator contains a chamber of a heat-insulating material with input and output holes; inside the chamber, at a distance from its inner surface, a chemical heat source is placed containing a hollow body of a heat-conductive material heated during. According to the second version, the heat source for a magnetohydrodynamic generator contains a chamber of a heat-insulating material with input and output holes; inside the chamber, at a distance from its inner surface, solid nuclear fuel that is designed to be gas-permeable; in the hollow between the chamber and the solid nuclear fuel (at a distance from them) a gas-permeable neutron moderator is placed.

EFFECT: simplified design and enhanced efficiency of the magnetohydrodynamic generator heat source.
