Then the stream shoots into a hollow cone made of a heat-resisting, nonconducting material (see diagram). Electrical coils outside the cone create a strong magnetic field. As the gas speeds through, a powerful current of electricity flows across it and is collected by two electrodes inside the cone...

But they were inefficient aerodynamically, and they had to be fooled with continually to keep their complex structure in proper order. The single wings of monoplanes were hard to make strong enough, but everyone knew that when they could be built, their efficiency and simplicity would make them dominant...
