Abstract :
This paper describes a super-small-scale MHD power system, which can generate 4-10 W pulse power with a plasma produced by explosives or combustion as a working substance. Heat shielding material was made and tested, with the result that the property of electrical insulation is desirable. This power generator can be used as an electrical power source of rocket or missile fuses
