Dry combustion plasma (DCP), i.e. plasma produced by seeded combustion of dry fuels such as char, charcoal, petroleum pitch etc. devoid of H 2 O, is shown to be a superior medium for open‐cycle MHD electricity generation owing to its enhanced electrical conductivity. The calculated conductivity of DCP is about fifty times higher than what has been realized so far in experimental rigs.
