Michael Faraday called this effect "magneto-electric induction" and tried this experiment in 1832 but the current was too small to measure with the equipment at the time, and the river bed contributed to short-circuit the signal.
However, by a similar process the voltage induced by the tide in the English Channel was measured in 1851. Faraday carefully omitted the term of hydrodynamics in this work. == Ideal and resistive MHD == The simplest form of MHD, Ideal MHD, assumes that the fluid has so little resistivity that it can be treated as a perfect conductor.
Most astrophysical systems are not in local thermal equilibrium, and therefore require an additional kinematic treatment to describe all the phenomena within the system (see Astrophysical plasma). Sunspots are caused by the Sun's magnetic fields, as Joseph Larmor theorized in 1919.
These differential equations must be solved simultaneously, either analytically or numerically. == History == The first recorded use of the word magnetohydrodynamics is by Hannes Alfvén in 1942: The ebbing salty water flowing past London's Waterloo Bridge interacts with the Earth's magnetic field to produce a potential difference between the two river-banks.
This description is more closely tied to Maxwell's equations as an evolution equation for the electric field exists. Hall In 1960, M.
Although some working prototypes exist, MHD drives remain impractical. The first prototype of this kind of propulsion was built and tested in 1965 by Steward Way, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The field of MHD was initiated by Hannes Alfvén, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970. The fundamental concept behind MHD is that magnetic fields can induce currents in a moving conductive fluid, which in turn polarizes the fluid and reciprocally changes the magnetic field itself.
A remarkable example of this occurred before the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in California, although a subsequent study indicates that this was little more than a sensor malfunction.
