> Doing that, you could establish a lunar scale magnetic field, though it'd probably be pretty wimpy unless you ran serious kA (MA?) of current, which would mean much bigger conductors etc, but it's fun to think about. Or a stator in orbit? But hrm… for Mars the same idea needs only 1T to 1.5T stator but has to place xt at lagrange between Mars and Sun. So, I naively guess for the stator to be far enough away that the deflected solar wind merges after the moon could /reall/ mean that the stator would be at lagrange between Earth and Sun, which could have perhaps interesting effects on Earth.
