What is MHD and MPD Thrusters Explained about?

Magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD) uses Lorentz force and electric and magnetic fields to propel vehicles without moving parts. MHD thrusters accelerate electrically conducting fluids and direct them to the rear, propelling the vehicle forward. They are used for marine propulsion and space exploration. Magneto-plasma-dynamics (MPD) thrusters also use Lorentz force to generate thrust for electrically powered spacecraft, ionizing gases like hydrogen or hydrazine in magnetic and electric fields.
