MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC MOTOR<br />

Construction and the principle of a<br />

magnetohydrodynamic engine<br />

(MHD-motor) are described. The<br />

experimental values of the torque<br />

acting on the rotor of the MHDmotor<br />

are presented.<br />

Magnetohydrodynamics is a branch of physics<br />

that studies behavior of liquid in the magnetic<br />

field. The most interesting application of<br />

magnetohydrodynamics is the so-called project<br />

“Yamato-1” [1]. The motion of ship “Yamato-<br />

1” is believed to be results of reactive motion.<br />

This is nothing else than the prejudice. It is not<br />

an aim of this article to criticize the authors of<br />

such practical applications of magnetic<br />

hydrodynamics. After all, this kind of<br />

transposition can be interpreted as a result of<br />

the reactive motion just so a propeller may be<br />

considered as a reactive propulsive device. This<br />

analogy is not very rough. The aim of this article<br />

is to describe a real magnetic hydrodynamic<br />

machine which acts with the violating Newton’s<br />

third law [2]. The work of this machine is based<br />

on the so-called SAIL-effect that takes place in<br />

a case of motion of magnet in a conducting<br />

liquid [3]. This effect based on the moving<br />

particles of conducting liquid under acting the<br />

magnetic field of a magnet push the magnet in<br />

the same direction. Below is the description of<br />

such machine.<br />
