I'm not looking to block EM radiation... As I said I am looking to block Galactic Cosmic Radiation, Coronal Mass Ejections, and the charged particles of the Van Allen belts. Please read my posts fully if you want to post. I am essentially trying to create a miniature magnetosphere, similar to...

To clear things up, I am not talking about shielding the magnetic field. I am, in fact, talking about using the magnetic field as a shield. I alluded to this when I said 'active radiation shielding', which is the use of the magnetic relationship between a magnetic field and charged particle to...

Specifically, I had an idea about making active shielding more efficient (energy-wise) at blocking radiation in space. The conventional idea, not method since it hasn't been used yet, is to have a very powerful superconductor that generates a magnetic field kilometers wide. It is that large...

Greetings, PF forum members! I have had a sudden interest in Active Radiation Shielding (ARS), and as such, an increased interest in magnetics. I have had trouble locating any information regarding the possibility/impossibility of altering magnetic fields in such a way that changes the field's...
