I'm working on a project and right now my idea fluid is to use Gallium, a liquid metal. Only major issue is its currently about $1000 USD for 1kg of this stuff!So I can't afford gallium. Mercury isn't that cheap either and its a bit dangerous if not handled properly.
What about other fluids? I know salt water is conductive but its not conductive enough for me. What I am doing is building a MHD generator, it runs by moving a fluid around the magnetic field instead of a solid piece of copper wire. Therefore I need a fluid that is more conductive than copper but about as cheap as copper.
Thanks
