...generates 1,350 kilowatts of electric power. Dr. Kantrowitz likes to say that his creation is just like an ordinary rotary generator, but simpler. In one sense he is correct: a conventional generator has electrical conductors (copper wires) that are spun in a magnetic field by a steam turbine. Their motion causes a current to flow through them. In an MHD generator the conductor is a hot gas (plasma) that has been ionized by having electrons knocked off some of its atoms. When the plasma squirts rapidly between the poles of a powerful magnet, a current flows across its stream...
...rooster. Said one journalist: "Nowadays we're supposed to get along with the French, we're supposed to love the Germans, and of course we are expected to embrace the British. All this unity is a strain. Every now and then, you have to let off steam with a little old-fashioned tribal enmity...

Stumbling through the choking...

The tower is the heart of the first oil refinery in southeast Asia to be controlled and managed by Asians. Sprawled across 230 acres 22 miles south of Manila, the Filoil refinery will ultimately turn out 17,000 barrels of high-octane gasoline and other products daily. "This," said Filoil President Ramon V. del Rosario. "is a dream come true...
