A 100 Tesla magnet for space launches

Image
Why would anyone need a magnet that strong? Greg Boebinger, director of the Magnet Lab, says that this magnetic field strength is the only way to test the properties of newly discovered high-temperature superconductors like iron oxyarsenide, which may improve the performance of MRI machines and high-voltage power lines while lowering their cost. A 100‑T magnet would also let you conduct certain zero-gravity experiments without traveling into space and let you develop magnetic propulsion systems that could eventually replace those that burn rocket fuel.

Using electro-magnetism for space launches and longer distance travel would be a perfect means by which to transport vessels.

Already on earth they are using magnetic rail systems for cars and other vehicles, while in the total vacuum of space magnetism might become a remarkable means by which to send and receive both materials and human passengers.

Especially if you're able to "tune" magnetism into specific frequencies so it can properly align with its intended target while separating other unwanted variables.

Electro-magnetic manipulation... Sounds like the method by which many "UFO's" are flying about.

In regards to UFOs, that's probably true, which ties in with "abducted" Tesla technology and black ops used to manipulate the public psyche.

As far as launching ships into orbit via magnetism, I imagine it would be a lot more leisurely pace than the current stages of rocket boosters, which would also require greater insulation and even "force fields" for those passengers on board as they travel through the ozone.

Super-powerful magnets, tuned to on-earth counterparts, might greatly decrease the gravitational effects on crew members, making the whole experience much less difficult and opening it up to normal folks who just want to take a space vacation.

The easier space travel becomes, the sooner that larger and larger populations can take the voyage for less and less cost.

And with magnets, you may be able to change the speed of sending and receiving, shooting materials and goods up in a flash, while shuttling passengers through the sky at a much more comfortable leverage and ascent.

Frequency and magnetism could drastically change the space program and public interest in space consumerism.
