MULTIFUNCTIONAL MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC (MHD) MACHINE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H02K44/00 H02K16/02 H02K1/06 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed rotary MHD machine has disc rotors and collectors for inlet and outlet of the working medium, mounted in parallel in a housing. According to the invention, working elements which convert energy of the working medium to mechanical energy and then to electrical energy are disc rotors made from electroconductive porous material which is pervious on at least one end surface and are mounted with possibility of counter-rotation while providing electrical contact with each other on electroconductive areas of the rotor shafts which alternate with insulated areas of shafts in checkered order relative each other. Each pair of rotor discs lying in the same plane is placed between poles of permanent magnets placed in a perpendicular plane to axes of the rotors and is connected in series to only one pair of voltage contacts on shafts so as to allow series-flow of current through each disc of both rotors.

EFFECT: design of a multifunctional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) machine, high emf generated by the MHD machine.
