; ;
A number of direct current conduction type electromagnetic pumps for liquid metals were constructed. Pumping capacities of over 400 gpm and efficiencies of over 50 percent were obtained. NaK alloy at temperatures up to 400 C was used in the tests. The large currents required were obtained from rectifiers or from a homopolar generator constructed for the purpose.
