ABSTRACT:
A gaseous electrode for a magnetohydrodynamic generator is positioned at an angle with respect to the MHD magnetic field thereby causing an arc to move both circumferentially and longitudinally about an inner electrode element within a cavity so that a gas passed through the arc is ionized to form a plasma stream as it enters the generator's main channel. A second gas is introduced into the cavity at either end of the electrode assembly to reduce erosion of the inner electrode.
