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 />
