Well, I am more interested in more "technical" measurement like how strong would have to be magnetical engine to be lifted by magnetic pole force?

I didnt mention anything about gravity, so focus only on magnetic force, ok?

About 60 microTesla near the north magnetic pole, about 67 near the south magnetic pole. Compare that with 45 - 57 for most of north america.
Go to the source web site below, click on "charts", then click on the chart for total intensity at the north or south pole.

Something very similar was ATS 5 ,when we got it near its parking area it was discovered that it was rotating the wrong direction. We could not release the yo-yo weights designed to slow down the rotation. So we commanded the toroid coil in a opposition to the earth's magnetic field. We slowed the space craft by this technique but it was too slow. The ozone layer is very high and is formed when the solar winds collide with the magnetic field.

While, it is the strongest natural magnetic force on earth, a normal person will not see any difference on a day to day life. However, the ionosphere feels a difference, as the ions are any way tiny charges.

Pretty damn strong. And someone needs to remind the other guy that magnetism has nothing to do with keeping our feet on the ground. That's GRAVITY, fool.

TImsdad - are you saying that we are all kept on terra firma by magnetism?
I think you will find that GRAVITY is keeping us on the ground !

strong enough to keep the hair on your head

STRONG enough to keep our feet firmly on the ground.
it is also deceasing by 50% every thousand years.
