| May 16, 2017 at 19:00 | comment | added | Kengineer | Winglee et al at University of Washington turned the magnetic confinement idea on its head. They proposed inflating a magnetic bubble with plasma to create a magnetic solar sail, the Mini-Magnetospheric Plasma Propulsion, or M2P2 earthweb.ess.washington.edu/space/M2P2/STAIF2000.PDF | |

| Mar 11, 2017 at 17:20 | comment | added | Enigma Maitreya | One last comment as I don't want this to go to chat. There is no doubt that is the Fussion one I was remembering some what incorrectly The one I really want to re-find and track is the MagnetoSphere / ElectroMagnetic field or what ever it was as my memory is it gave Protection vs Radiation and supplied power or so I remember. Would just like to either clear that memory out or see what its current state is. | |

| Mar 11, 2017 at 15:31 | comment | added | Enigma Maitreya | Here is an article that I am fairly certain identifies the person at Washington I am speaking of and I am fairly certain he is the same one doing the Magnetosphere generator device. science20.com/science_20/fusion_coffee_mug-95126 | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 15:24 | comment | added | Enigma Maitreya | Doing some searches again and I probably should be saying container rather than liner and I may be wanting to say magnetic containing the plasma at high temperature. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 15:16 | comment | added | Enigma Maitreya | Hum, not really. It is hard to tell on the Magnetosphere though because they all, including the one I referenced show the same basic visual of how the Magnetosphere protects the core object. In terms of the Fusion then again memory, the assertion was, based on modeling that an asymmetric plasma container responded to the deformities(?) better than a symmetrical coating. I sincerely apologize for my vagueness as My interest is more in the application of these technologies than the how do they work. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 13:34 | comment | added | uhoh | @EnigmaMaitreya are you thinking about something similar to the research mentioned here? The affiliations are UK, Sweden and Portugal, but the mention of injection of dense plasma into an artificial magnetic field sounds similar to what you described. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 13:28 | comment | added | uhoh | @quintumnia not even close. Not even a little bit. The title of that question is "What materials provide the best protection from cosmic radiation?" and the title of this question is "Is NASA doing research on 'mini-magnetospheres' to protect crew from radiation in space?" There is an answer there that is a mismatch there because it is not an answer to "What materials..." however, it might be a good idea to repost that answer here!! However, note that that research is now a decade old and I've asked in the present tense about current research. | |

| Mar 11, 2017 at 4:03 | comment | added | Enigma Maitreya | on their Fusion generator. The going dark is why I can not remember what it was interacting with but the gest is The more radiation the smaller the generated field. The less radiation the larger the generated field. The example given was the closer to the sun the smaller the field was the further away the larger the field was. The protection was the same and there was power generated somehow from the interaction. I just do not remember anything about "micro" being used. | |
| Mar 11, 2017 at 4:01 | comment | added | Enigma Maitreya | At first I thought you were going to refer to something else. It may still be the same thing. University of Washington (Washington the state) approximately 3 years ago announced a process based on plasma that generated a Magneto Sphere that interacted with the either the solar wind or radiation (I will explain) in a vacuum. NASA partnered with them and tested it in their low vacuum chamber. Got the required calibration data to tune the component. Then it went totally dark. The only other thing I have seen from the Washington Group was with UCLA and Plasma containment .... | |
