The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) drive certainly sounds like something out of science fiction — using an array of magnets and electrodes, this high-tech propulsion technology promises to silently propel ...
Looking back through the archives, we actually haven’t seen much in the way of homebrew magnetohydrodynamic drives (MHDs) — which is somewhat surprising, as the core concept isn’t nearly as ...
Taking a plot point from the 1990 Sean Connery movie thriller The Hunt for Red October, DARPA is working on a super-silent submarine drive that has no moving parts and provides propulsion through the ...
HRL Laboratories proof-of-concept delivers quiet, reliable propulsion for marine applications similar to the fictional approach used in the 1990 film “The Hunt for Red October.” Designed for DARPA, ...
A British fusion energy company is set to provide critical high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology to support a U.S. submarine program. Tokamak Energy has been contracted by General ...
