| Summary: | There are various types of ship propulsion system nowadays. Most of the ships are still using traditional propulsion systems which is fixed propeller. The existing propulsion system is very complicated, especially its mechanical system. This mechanical system is subjected to vibration and noise problems that will affect the comfort of passengers. Hence this study introduce magneto-hydrodynamic propulsion system which will solve the vibration and noise problems. The main objective is to create a model to show the magneto-hydrodynamic ship propulsion concept. Also, appropriate parameters will be determined for improvement. Both theoretical and experimental methods have been used in the study. It was found that the magneto-hydrodynamic propulsion system can be used in the propulsion system of the vessel, however the performance is not as the conventional type of propulsion system. Nevertheless magneto-hydrodynamic propulsion system can still be improved in future. |
