Description of venture idea
Commercialize Magnetohydrodynamic generators as a solution to produce power from a heat source in unconventional settings in which conventional generation approaches based on a turbine or an engine are not feasible.
Market needs this venture would address
TBD. Early ideas include:
- Remote astrophysics observatories where power lines aren’t available and the vibrations & noise from a turbine or engine would interfere with the research activities.
- Nuclear submarines?
- Military options where stealth is at a premium
