Project Prometheus--turbine or MHD?

If an MHD, you have exhaust that can be an additional, albeit minor,
source of thrust.
I think you will find that to produce a reasonable amount of power, you
will need to use a rather significant (i.e., not a "minor") flow of mass,
which would quickly exhaust your supply of working fluid unless you are
running a "closed cycle" MHD unit...
