When any conductor, either a wire or an ionized gas. is pushed across a magnetic field, two things happen: 1) an electric current flows through the conductor and 2) the conductor meets resistance and therefore slows down. Physicist Neuringer's proposal is to create a strong magnetic field on the front surface of the re-entry body. When ionized air flows across it, the braking action of the magnetism will make it pile up in a deeper, slower moving layer that will not transfer as much heat to the solid surface...
