The MHD can be towed.

You can buy cannons online.

No current..... my Father is a machinist and is instructing me. Metal
Lathe
and some bending equipment as well as a heavy band saw type cutting tool
for
metal up to an inch thick. I do have access to a plasma cutter at a
friend's
shop. I'm just starting to learn the craft. I'm currently overhauling and
re-roofing the workshop and as soon as it's finished I plan to start on a
canon for my sailboat. I'm looking at stock now for milling on the lathe.

Can this type of generator be towed array deployed?

| magnets, two wires and some simple copper electrodes. The salt water
current

a
| magnetic field on the inside. There is a voltage induced between
opposing
| walls of the tube, where you put the electrodes. There is minimal drag
on
| this device and no moving parts.

| | Yes, indeed, Simon the output is a little low, but it's a small
battery.
| If
| | one were to make one in a 50 quart plastic cooler, the ouptut would
be
| | considerably more.
| | In fact, if one were resourceful you could build this device from
metal
| shim
| | stock, a cooler, some plastic and be in business.
| | You could even make a battery from old zinc sacrificial electrodes
and
| scrap
| | copper pipe tied in an alternating fashion on a line and lowered
over
| the
| | side of a yacht. You would need a wire to connect successive copper
to
| zinc
| | piece and a wire at each end of the string. This would easily
recharge
a
| | battery - 24 hours a day and cost next to nothing.

| | simply rinse with fresh water, refill and away you go!

| | Interesting that there are no output specs.
