So I skimmed the paper (http://sci-hub.la/10.1103/PhysRevE.96.063107 http://sci-hub.la/10.1103/PhysRevE.96.063107) and it involves passing current through a conductive fluid whilst exposing it to magnetic fields. However, unlike mercury or NaK, seawater behaves interestingly when current is passed through it. How do you prevent the water from being chemically changed from the exposure to electricity; given that such changes will make the vessel easier to detect (especially if they involve the evolution of gasses)?
- regularfry 9y agoI'd take a look at eddy currents rather than DC. Think AC motor, not DC: that means there's no electrodes immersed in the water, so no sites at which the obvious reactions will occur. There might, of course, be non-obvious ones.
- rsynnott 9y agoReducing drag would presumably be useful in itself, even outside the context of avoiding detection.
