PCT No. PCT/JP97/04804 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 28, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 28, 1999 PCT Filed Dec. 24, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/29936 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 9, 1998An MHD generator system is provided to perform efficient MHD generation by efficiently converting heat enargy into kinetic energy of an electricity conducting liquid or liquid metal. Thermal flow flux is controlled by providing heat pipes having the functions of thermal switches between a high temperature heat source and an MHD generator, and between a low temperature heat source and the MHD generator, and by turning on and off the thermal switches, thereby causing the fluid in the MHD generator expand and contract. Electricity is generated by the movement of the electricity conducting liquid or liquid metal in the MHD gerator. |
