We're talking about using this in the context of "artificial gravity"... you're going to have a lot "outside of the coil" regions.

  It would all occur inside the coil, as the field and therefor diamagnetic force drops off cubically outside the field.

    Considering the original comment to which I'm ultimately referring, can you actually imagine such as situation as it relates to humans and "artificial gravity"? Presumably we're talking about the scale of a space craft or station...
    • hwillis 10y ago
      Yeah, the entire station would be basically a giant solenoid. If you're outside the coil the artificial gravity doesn't work. You can have metal flying around without artificial gravity, but you can't get the artificial gravity in an environment that metal will accelerate inside.
