I just did test firing number 15 of the mini MHD generator. This thing is really starting to work. The out put on test 15 was 50% higher than 14 and 14 was pretty good. This was another big change in the electrodes. Same shape as in test 14 but with a lot more surface area.
I’m going to try and get another run in tonight. Check back in about an hour to see how it went.
Test 16 was a dud. You pull to much load and the whole thing crashes. We really need to be doing this with an oscilloscope instead of discrete data loggers.
