This paper summarizes research ideas, results and activities on a DOE MHD SBIR entitled: {open_quote}A Light Metal Fueled Nonequilibrium Plasma Generator (NPG){close_quotes}. The NPG is a concept for a device that has the capability of producing a nonequilibrium plasma from metal combustion. The results of preliminary studies on the NPG concept are given. These studies address fundamentals of the NPG including operating concepts of the NPG concept, results of studies on the quality of the plasma that it can produce, and theoretical evaluations of the nonequilibrium ionization process in an MHD disk generator driven by an NPG. A discussion of potential applications for the NPG is given. These applications encompass pulse MHD power, commercial MHD power and disk MHD generator research.
