The electrical current from each 125-MWe MHD generator is applied across the annular MHD air accelerator duct, creating the applied electric field for the fanjet engine. A magnetic field applied perpendicular to the electric field results in a Lorentz force that accelerates the ionized air plasma flowing through the annular duct.
