Abstract
Almost global in time existence of solutions for equations describing the motion of a magnetohydrodynamic incompressible fluid in a domain bounded by a free surfaced is proved. In the exterior domain we have an electromagnetic field which is generated by some currents which are located on a fixed boundary. We prove that a solution exists for $t\in (0,T)$, where $T>0$ is large if the data are small.
