Magnetic engines are proposed for saving energy in surface to orbit launches by interacting with the magnetic field of Earth. Difficulties are discussed with proposals for ways to overcome obstacles and mitigate risk. Stability and directional control are the main design parameters. The components of the magnetic lifters are suitable for configuring a test of field effect propulsion, leading to the possibility of deep space transport.
