The “caterpillar drive” in The Hunt for Red October allowed the sub to travel virtually undetected through the ocean, but real examples of magnetohydrodynamic drives (MHDs) are rare.
In this three week storyline unit, students investigate a maglev train and the electromagnetic forces that cause a maglev train to levitate and provide the source of propulsion for the train. The ...
The asymmetric decomposition of the fuel creates a concentration gradient around the particle, leading to self-diffusiophoresis and propulsion. Magnetic nanoswimmers are powered by external magnetic ...
