Have scientist been able to create a minature dipole magnetic field?
http://www.minimagnetospheres.org/images/works28.jpg Yes, the have created a miniature dipole magnetic field and plasma in order to create an artificial mini magnetosphere structure to protect future spacecrafts instrumentation and astronauts. The laboratory experiments have been successful in replicating a magnetized barrier (a shield) able to reject supersonic energetic plasma similar to that of the Solar Wind. One of such experiments was carried out by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, England, and was done in a linear plasma confinement device called LinX, with a supersonic plasma beam capable of Mach 3 speeds and temperatures of 5-7 eV emission band. According to “www.iop.org” (IOP Electronic Journals) on the Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, from the December 2008 paper “The interaction of a flowing plasma with a dipole magnetic field: measurements and modeling of a diamagnetic cavity relevant to spacecraft protection”: —Quote— New experiments to test the
