How to Deflect Charged Particles From Earth's Dayside Magnetic Field

Earth's dayside magnetic field is significantly compressed toward earth from the constant barrage of charged particles off the sun. We were begin ingto make artificial magnetus files shortly and to be mindful that some big sphere designed solely for deflection might be considered a very inferior approach. It is also not really a sphere. Most heavier ions still come from the sun, but we get g c as from outside the solar system, and they're usually moving at neo light speed. And are thought to be principally coming from supe vi shock waves.
