Abstract
The use of magnetohydrodynamic propulsion for marine applications is r eviewed with emphasis on induction-drive systems such as the ''ripple' ' motor. Comparisons are made with direct-drive MHD propulsion systems . Application to pumps for hazardous fluids and liquid-metal coolants are also discussed.
