The high power electrical thruster system and energy supply system are needed necessarily on the high speed space detector. The space nuclear reactor power supply technology which is based on both high temperature gas cooling reactor and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation can solve the energy problem of high power thruster system. The domestic research of high temperature gas MHD power generation is infrequent. In this paper the MHD power generation experimental equipment which is based on high temperature inert gas has been built by using arc heater. The equipment has generated electricity successfully. The design of experiment and the composing of equipment are introduced detailedly, while the result is analyzed also. The experiment result shows that one side is the generated electricity power is decided by gas electrical conductivity, and the other side is CsCO3 can improve the electrical conductivity of argon gas.
