本文对高雷诺数低熔点镓合金磁流体发电机进行了实验研究。结果表明，功率输出随流动雷诺数的增大而增大。通过考虑测试通道中磁场的不均匀分布，理论评估给出了对实验数据更准确的预测。该发电机的最大发电效率为%，最大输出电功率为1.5 mW。
An experimental investigation of a magneto hydrodynamics power generator using a low-melting-point Gallium alloy at high Reynolds numbers is presented in this paper. The power output is found to increase with increasing the flow Reynolds number. By considering the non-uniform distribution of the magnetic field in the test channel, theoretical evaluation gives a more accurate prediction to the experimental data. The present generator demonstrates the maximum power generation efficiency of% and the maximum output electric power of 1.5 mW.
