NASA proposes building artificial magnetic field to restore Mars’ atmosphere: https://www.universetoday.com/134052/nasa-proposes-magnetic-...



Interesting, it only needs a 1-2 Tesla magnetic field. MRI machines go up to 3T, which means this isn't too outlandish with known technology. The main issue is that they probably want a Mars sized field at 1-2T.


Does that mean it needs a bigger coil?
