Magnetic mirroring makes possible the " trapping " in the dipole-like field lines near Earth of particles in the radiation belt and in the ring current.

Better understanding of the magnetosphere and the ring current and its interaction with the solar wind during high solar activity will allow us to better protect these assets.
23.
The ring current required to generate this magnetic field would be generated by a ring of particle accelerator space stations in close orbit around the star's equator.
24.
In May 2016, the research team published their initial findings, stating that the ring current that encircles Earth behaves in a much different way than previously understood.
25.
DC power from a battery; this made them ( together with the power lines mentioned below ) susceptible to being influenced by the fluctuations caused by the ring current.
26.
The net result, as already noted, produces the ring current, though additional effects ( like non-uniform distribution of plasma density ) also affect the result.
27.
The data indicates that there is a substantial, persistent ring current around the Earth even during non-storm times, which is carried by high-energy protons.

29.
The resulting outflow would be collected by using a ring current around the star's equator to generate a powerful toroidal magnetic field with its dipoles over the star's rotational poles.
30.
To inject energy into the star's atmosphere the ring current would first be temporarily shut down, allowing the particle accelerator stations to begin falling freely toward the star's surface.
