Magnetohydrodynamic Ship Propulsion with Superconduction Magnets
초전도 자석을 이용한 전자유체(MHD) 추진
Abstract
The feasibility of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Ship propulsion using superconduction magnets is reviewed in light of recent advances in high-temperature superconducting. The propulsion using a screw propeller in the noise reduction has it's own limitation. The epochal noiseless MHD propulsion method which does not have this disadvantage is studying nowadays. The subject of a marine MHD as propulsion has been examined before and was found to be interesting because of relatively low magnetic flux densities. It is demonstrated that the MHD propulsion is technically interesting with high magnetic flux density. The development of large-scale magnets using the high-temperature superconductors now under development could make it practical to construct submersibles for high-speed and silent operation.
