    While such liquid metal MHD systems offer attractive features from the viewpoint of electrical machine operation, they are limited in temperature by the properties of liquid metals to about 1,250 K (about 975 °C, or 1,800 °F). Thus, they compete with various existing energy-conversion systems capable of…
