| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the present study is development of an advanced laser-electricity conversion device, i.e. a laser-driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) electrical power generator. Power generation experiments using a shock-tube facility, a pulse-power device and a CO2 laser device and multi-dimensional numerical simulations have been carried out to clarify the performance of the high-temperature inert-gas plasma MHD electrical power generation. In particular, the MHD behaviour in a Faraday-type MHD generator has been investigated in detail. In conclusion, we have successfully demonstrated the MHD electrical power generation using laser, which is crucial for the development of advanced solar-energy conversion.
