The hydromagnetic equation for a completely ionized gas of high density with a single isotope is given, and from it the two hydromagnetic equations with two isotopes is derived. The difference between the accelerations of the isotopes at any internal point is then equal to delta M/M times (1/p)STAj x B!, the force on the induced current per unit density due to the magnetic field. It is then shown that the ionic centrifuge gives almost no enrichment of the isotopes deposited, whereas the magneto-ionic expander gives a very high enrichment. (auth)
