Magnetohydrodynamics in a model boat

A model boat demonstrates magnetohydrodynamics. In one of its forms it gives electrical propulsion with no moving parts by applying an electric current to a fluid in a magnetic field generating thrust.  This applies to any conductive fluid including water (preferably salt), liquid metal or plasma. Here I am demonstrating the principle with water.
