How complex is this supposed magnetic device?

What would something like that look like?

Where would atmosphere come from?

we can't even stop ourselves from un-terraforming the perfect planet we had to begin with

I'd love for this to be possible, but you're not posting anything of any value to back it up, or anything about it other than the endgoal

It already has a small one (0.6% of earths, very weak) because CO2 sublimates off of the ice caps during warmer times.

However Mars has no magnetic field to protect itself from the solar wind, so the solar wind gradually strips away the atmosphere.

If we build this machine the atmosphere will keep getting thicker instead of being washed away into space.

It won't make it livable but mars with half an atmosphere, even a shitty one is something we can work with.

>Around mars

You clearly didn't read the article you fucking twat, so why are you flapping your twat lips about it?

They aren't covering mars, twit. They're incepting the radiation before it gets to them.
