A nuclear-magnetogasdynamic (MGD) power generation system is described which is capable of satisfying the long-duration, high power level mission requirements of space vehicles. In this Rankine cycle system, radio-frequency (RF) electric fields are used to ionize a cool supersonic gas, and the Hall effect is used to generate electrical power. Following an analysis of MGD energy conversion and RF plasma production, preliminary design is made of an-experimental system having a generator power density of 10 megawatts/cu m in which 5% of the output power is used to produce the cool plasma.
