The Physics Teacher
This month's cover features a magnetohydrodynamically propelled watercraft developed by physicist Anjalee Rutah (shown) and her collaborators at Towson University: James Overduin, Viktor Polyak, Thomas Sebastian, Jim Selway, and Daniel Zile. See their article "The Hunt for Red October II..." for details regarding the operation of this "caterpillar drive" vehicle.
