Magnetic shield system for spacecraft, space station and planetary habitation units

摘要

A magnetic shield system for providing human occupants of spacecraft with protection from cosmic and solar radiation using electromagnets or solenoids for generating magnetic fields but which magnetic fields are kept at a sufficient distance from a spacecraft to greatly reduce the interference effect of the magnetic fields on the spacecraft electronic systems. The electromagnets or solenoids are placed at the ends of arms or shafts placed equidistantly from each other and projecting in uniform formation from the body of the spacecraft along the main axis or body of the spacecraft. The electromagnets or solenoids are placed parallel with each other and parallel with the main body of the spacecraft, are in-line with each other and are placed around the exterior of the spacecraft and along the main axis of the body of the spacecraft. Electromagnets may also be placed at the front and back of the spacecraft.
