The Madison Dynamo Experiment studies MHD dynamo physics in a liquid sodium experiment. The MHD dynamo is believed to be responsible for magnetic field generation in planetary and astrophysical systems when the motion of conducting fluids, such as plasmas or liquid metals, causes magnetic field generation. The liquid sodium is heated to 110 ^circC and contained in a stainless steel spherical pressure vessel with a 0.5m radius. Two 100 horsepower motors will drive impellers to produce the flows that are likely to couple to the large scale magnetic eigenmodes. This poster describes the experiment and its physics goals, which are to study the exitation of magnetic eigenmodes by large scale flows, the equipartition of kinetic and magnetic energies, current generation by helical turbulence, and anomalous resistivity that is produced by MHD turbulence.
