Jed,

The JLN's MAHD does NOT disassociate water!  The water is merely a 
cooling medium for the anode.

Well, I figured as much.

The heat in the MAHD is generated in a gaseous hydrogen at 0.1atm 
pressure between inner heated cathode and outer cold anode. This is 
essentially a vacuum tube, but without electrical HV polarization 
between cathode and anode. . . .


Thanks. That is clearer than anything I can find on Naudin's website. 
Can you tell us why they vary the flow of water? And how? It must be a 
feedback mechanism.

No such thing -- look at my previous response in this thread.  The temp 
rise does vary depending on the water flow rate, but the scales on the 
graphs are so different that it's hard to see.

The water flow rate is constant within about 20%.  A variation of 20% in 
the temperature _rise_ is barely visible on most of the graphs, save for 
the last one, where the temp difference was larger and the variation as 
the water flow varied can be clearly seen.

The changing water flow rate must surely just be an artifact, as Horace 
already pointed out, far more convincingly :-)


They should make this thing self-sustain. At these temperatures and 
power levels it should not be hard to find a Stirling engine generator 
or something like that.
