A solar energy collector focuses solar energy onto a solar oven which is attached to a mixer which in turn is attached to the channel of a MHD generator. Gas enters the oven and a liquid metal enters the mixer. The gas/liquid metal mixture is heated by the collected solar energy and moves through the MHD generator thereby generating electrical power. The mixture is then separated and recycled.

A solar driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generator that utilizes the flow of a gas and liquid-metal mixture through the channel of the MHD generator to generate electrical power comprising: means including a mixer having a channel for mixing the gas and liquid metal and for providing a flow of the mixture from the channel of the mixer through the channel of said MHD generator; means for collecting solar energy; means for focusing the collected solar energy onto the gas and liquid metal mixture inside the channel of said mixer to heat said gas and liquid metal mixture before it passes through the channel of said MHD generator; means for separating the gas from the liquid metal after it passes through the channel of said MHD generator; and means for returning the separated gas and liquid metal back to said mixing means.
