Abstract The use of magnetohydrodynamic propulsion for marine applications is reviewed with emphasis on induction-drive systems such as the “ripple” motor. Comparisons are made with direct-drive MHD propulsion systems. Application to pumps for hazardous fluids and liquid-metal coolants are also discussed.
