Abstract :
Prospects for pulsed electrical power output from a MHD self-excited accelerator driven generator is investigated. Feasibility is centered on exploring the magnitude of acceleration and energy conversion ratio in the accelerator channel subject to a spectrum of applied current impulses. Plasma conditions of moderate and high degree of ionizations are studied.
