An experimental and analytical program is conducted which will provide          the key elements of a data base for closed-cycle magnetohydrodynamic            (MHD) generators.  The emphasis is on the disk generator driven by              helium.  The experimental work covers relaxation to nonequilibrium              ionization, the understanding of the plasma temperature, and of the             generator performance.  Emphasis is put on studies of the disk                  generator with full-seed ionization in presence of strong magnetic              fields.  The analytical modeling covers the relaxation region, the              generator performance, and closed-cycle MHD power system driven by              helium.  The test results are used to determine their technical and             cost impact on existing system models.
