Mars had a magnetosphere during the time when liquid oceans existed on the planet.

and the radiation is Very dangerous, it ripped apart mars's atmosphere, which is why it no longer exists.

the ionosphere would not be able to help because it would be stripped away by the solar winds too fast.

i the ionosphere acts as a secondary defense for our planet by protecting us from the radiation that the magnetosphere was not able to redirect around the planet.

with out the magnetosphere the ionosphere would not be able to stay intact as it would have to deal with the entire force of the solar winds and would be blown into space.

an external atmospheric shell would provide enough insulation from radiation via a magnetosphere, would allow heat to build up on the planet, and would provide electric power to population centers if designed well enough.

one lightning bolt is a huge amount of power, if you engineered a predictable convection current of photoelectric particles combined with a grounding tower, you could power all of mars's teraforming processes and human colonies.

hell you pissed me off to the point that im going to draw it in more detail, the drawings i posted were of the function of the mechanics to get across that the idea is possible, i did not however include the mechanisms that allow the moving parts to work.

I will provide you with such designs momentarily, good day.
