Abstract
Progress on the construction and commissioning of a closed-cycle magnetoplasmadynamic power generation experiment is described. The facility is designed to provide a continuous flow of purified helium-cesium (or alternative composition) plasma. The first stage in the associated experimental programme is centred on a constant area tranverse magnetic field generator duct, although it is planned to substitute generator sections with other flow-field configurations at a later stage in the experimental programme. Emphasis will be placed upon gaining an understanding of the physical processes involved in the extraction of electrical energy through the interaction of a flowing plasma with a magnetic field, enabling an assessment to be made of the feasibility and utility of magnetoplasmadynamic electrical power generation.
