Mhd Research Topics

AI Thread Summary

Research in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is still active, with contemporary studies published in journals like the Journal of Plasma Physics. Despite perceptions that the field has stagnated since the early 1990s, ongoing research continues to explore various applications and theories in MHD. The discussion highlights a gap in awareness of recent advancements and publications in this area. Engaging with current literature can provide insights into the latest developments in MHD. Overall, the field remains vibrant and relevant in scientific research today.

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
