Experimental studies on closed cycle MHD power generation with "Fujil" blow-down facility at Tokyo Institute of Technology are presented. Recently, a new disk generator (Disk-F4) has been installed and a new seed injection system has been introduced from IVTAN (Institute of High Temperature in Russia). The design concept of the new generator channel is focused mainly on the reliability of high power generation. In the new seeding system, a melted seed material is pushed by a piston dozator, instead of gas-pressure-driven in the previous system. In the power generation experiments with the new components, the maximum power output of 502kW and the enthalpy extraction ratio of 16.7
