Description/Abstract:
THIS MAGNET WILL BE USED IN A JOINT U.S. AND USSR PROGRAM TO TEST THE EXPERIMENTAL MHD PROCESS FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY AT THE SOVIETS -2 5 MHD FACILITY THE LARGEST EXISTING MHD FACILITY IN THE WORLD. THE MA GNET BUILT FOR DOE AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY WEIGHS 60 TONS. MHD GENERATORS PRODUCE ELECTRICITY DIRECTLY FROM THE BURNING OF FOSSIL FU ELS AT POTENTIAL EFFICIENCIES MORE THAN ONE AND A HALF TIMES THOSE OF TODAYS CONVENTIONAL POWER PLANTS. Y
