A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator is a device that converts thermal energy and kinetic energy from a conducting fluid (usually a plasma or liquid metal) directly into electrical energy through the interaction of the fluid with a magnetic field. The principles of magnetohydrodynamics involve the study of the behavior of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields.
