I have given some thought to this over the last few days. I see two direct hinderances to magnetic propulsion.
1.) power of the magnet.
Theoretically a powerful enough magnet could interact with the magnetosphere to effectively push against the Earth Magnetosphere. Of course the electricity demands and design would be unheralded.
2.) alignment
The poles of the magnetic field created would have to be aligned with the poles of Earths magnetic field. this could be done by many ways, but it also an equal hurdle to overcome.
All in all, I think the technology exists or is with reach to make this happen for a basic research design model.. a proof of theory so to speak.. and with possible breakthroughs, could prove to be very feasible and efficient.
I was curious on peoples thoughts and constructive criticism.. ie, I am a stupid git is acceptible.
