ok, in a revent article, i saw that the martian apmosphere is losing atmosphere because of solar wind reacting directly with the atmosphere and "dragging" the martian atmosphere away. this dosent happen on earth because of our strong magnetic feild. now, if we where to put a atomic/other powered magnetic field generator into orbit beween the sun and mars in order to allow mars to not lose its valuable atmosphere, would it be possible? How much energy are we talking about in order to create a magnetic field that is large enough to block a planet?
