When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
That seems like a show stopper. So the force of the solar wind on the magnetic field would transfer to the the source of the magnetic field and push the device away from the sun? If so, as a side note, is a big magnetic field then a candidate to replace a physical solar sail as propulsion? I suppose, the benefit of the physical sail is it does not require an energy source to keep it running...
