Abstract

The physical aspects of the conversion of electric energy into mechanical energy (an EHD pump) and mechanical energy into electric energy (an EHD generator) are described. Examples of the practical design of such converters are given: an EHD pump at an “electric wind” in a poor conducting liquid; an EHD wind generator; an EHD flowmeter generator; a Kelvin generator. The obtained results can be used as a basis for the development and design of working EHD energy converters.
