  1. There are monsters out there.

    Few are as monstrous as the magnetar. A magnetar is an extremely dense star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. They’re so strong, if a magnetar were 100,000 kilometers from the Earth, every card in your wallet with a mag stripe would be demagnetized. If you were within 1000 kilometers of a magnetar, you would be ripped apart down to your atoms and have your mass applied to the star, prompting a massive explosion.

    Now and then these stars have “star quakes”, which result in massive explosions of radiation (often gamma) similar to a gamma ray burst but not identical. In 2004 one such explosion reached the Earth and was so powerful it briefly expanded the ionosphere and blinded a few satellites. This explosion came from a magnetar 50,000 light years away. In one tenth of a second this magnetar released more energy than the sun does in 150,000 years.

    Just imagine what would happen if it was 10 times closer.

      A big copper coil would do fine, as long as the magnetic flux would be changing. Free energy!

      We would probably have to be in the line of fire. If that were the case and the magnetar explodes too close it would trigger a mass extinction.
