Default Geoengineering an Artificial Magnetosphere, Therefore Van AllenBelt - Is It Possible?

NASA has proposed this for Lagrange Point One

https://phys.org/news/2017-03-nasa-m...tmosphere.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_magnetic_field

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i...m+christchurch

The magnetic field in Christchurch is 0.537 Gauss at the moment, and is pointed 24.24 degrees East

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...ic/curloo.html

A loop 6,371,008 meters in radius, carrying a current of 544,510,000 Amperes produces this at the Earth's center (assuming no iron core) and 0.18985 Gauss at the poles. Of course with an iron core, things get magnified.

Now 1 Ampere is 6.25*10^18 electrons/second. So, this current represents 3..403*10^27 electrons per second.

Multiplying the Earth's radius by 2 * pi and dividing by the number of seconds in a siderial day (86,164.09 seconds) obtains 465.1 meters/second.

Dividing this velocity into the current obtains a charge of 7.3171*10^24 electrons per meter. Spreading this across +/- 5 degrees of the equator (1,111,951 meters of width) produces a charge density of 6.58*10^18 electrons per square meter. Approximately 1 Coulomb per square meter.

Now, the ionosphere is maintained by charged particles streaming from the Sun, approximates this value.

Now thin films of plastic may be made from atmospheric CO2 on Mars, using hydrogen extracted from water using sunlight

6 H2O + sunlight -- 6 H2 + 3 O2

2 CO2 + 6 H2 -- 2 CH2* + 2 H2O

Then an electron beam charges the thin film to a density of 10^16 electrons per cubic centimeter. So, to attain a charge of 10^19 electrons per square meter (10^15 electrons per square centimeter) requires a thickness of 1 millimeter.

So creating a self replicating solar powered machine that takes CO2 and H2O and sunlight found on mars, and produces a band of thin film organic solar panels around the equator, replicates the natural magnetic field around Mars. It also provides a very large power source for the planet!

About 8 Tesla towers the size of WardenCliffe, transmitting wireless energy zig zag off of geostationary mirrors around asteroid 3554 Amun's equator, creates a magnetic field through the centre of the torus loop, which varies in intensity proportionally to the current applied.

The current of each fibre crossection on the ground is capable of handling 300 mW, so that one fibre array of 1000 x 1000 fibres, with uniform intensity not exceeding 100 mW per mm^2, could theoretically handle (100)(3)((1000)(1000) = 300,000,000 watts! Scaling this up to equal the Earth's magnetic field would require 10 arrays, in order to reach the earth's electric charge, which is 150 volts per meter.

This would make the circumferential charge for an earth-like magnetic field around 3554 Amun 202,264 volts. The fibre arrays would be used in the case for adjusting tower heights across the uneven asteroid, and for free electron laser (mirror) beam generation at a geostationary altitude.

The resistivity of bismuth wire lengthwise for Amun's circumference of 504,000 meters is 136 ohms, and therefore the calculated voltage circulating between the towers/lasers equals 202,264 V for each fibre array, and so 10 fibre arrays banded crossectionally, would equal 2,022,640 V, which is 192.77 V / M , stronger than the Earth's electric field!

Carl Sagan published a paper in which he suggested to melt polar ice caps through the change of the polar albedo via spreading black carbon on the ice. This would trigger the release of the stored CO2 and start a feedback loop that increases the greenhouse effect producing a warm climate allowing liquid water.
