Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a liquid metal magnetic fluid generator. technical background
[0002] US Patent No. 5473205 proposed a reciprocating liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (LMMHD) automobile engine whose displacement can be changed according to the power requirements of the automobile, and started the research on the reciprocating LMMHD generator. The engine has 4 pistons with a dual-channel structure; free pistons at both ends of each channel seal the liquid metal; the inner piston that moves the liquid metal (liquid K or Na) is magnetically coupled to the outer piston that moves through the conventional internal combustion process. Alternating internal combustion strokes drive the liquid metal to reciprocate and linearly move in the MHD channel, cutting the magnetic field lines and generating AC power. Subsequently, reciprocating LMMHD generators began to be used in variable displacement automobile engines, distributed power supply and wave ener...
