Look, the government can't suppress underground meth production, and it's not for the lack of trying. Here, were are talking about an enterprise lots more lucrative than any dope, and should attract more risk takers, and yet the govt keeps all of it under the lid?

MHD is attractive because it has no moving parts, which means that a good design might be silent, reliable, efficient, and inexpensive.

A number of experimental methods of spacecraft propulsion are based on magnetohydrodynamic principles. In these the working fluid is usually a plasma or a thin cloud of ions. Some of the techniques include various kinds of ion thruster, the magnetoplasmadynamic thruster, and the variable specific impulse magnetoplasma rocket.
Cool stuff eh! hardly anything on the internet covering this and only a few mentions of somone researching this in the 1970's (apparently awarded a nobel prize)
Supressed - not sure however it isn't zero point.
In the 1990s, Mitsubishi built several prototypes of ships propelled by an MHD system. These ships were only able to reach speeds of 15 km/h, despite higher projections.

If you are of such sound judgement (lol!), then you should join my Round Table.
Or you can stay here in your comfort zone and argue with BS and his carnival science.

Well then I guess it is a no-go since we don't have those. If our educational system didn't make science scary we might have some.
But if your still game it is a requirement to turn on your paranoia radar. Or you won't last long.
