A brief AI-created/ edited video providing an overview of 'magnetohydrodynamic generators" and how they can function on spacecraft. Collaborative input from David S. Soriano is included. Michael Faraday's fundamental discoveries have lead to this technology.

Gemini: based on the image you sent, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generators are a theoretical concept for spacecraft that use a hot, ionized gas (plasma) to create electricity. The image depicts a colorful, futuristic spacecraft with a glowing blue MHD generator. MHD generators work by passing the conductive plasma through a magnetic field, which creates an electric current. This could be a way to generate electricity for propulsion or other systems on a spacecraft, especially for long journeys in deep space. However, MHD generators are still under development and there are challenges to overcome, such as the need for very hot plasma and powerful magnets.
