People ask what will happen if Mars One fails. There will be Mars Two, Mars Three, there will be Gliese 581 One, Proxima Centauri b One etc. If a project opens the path for other projects, it means that it has already triumphed!

Dual Trtirium Core Power Source
There is a possibility that purified Iron in a large enough quantity can generate its own magnetic field.
Strong magnetic fields have the potential to be dangerous to experiment with close to the Earth as they interact with and move the Earth's own protective magnetic field. This can result in undesired effects including heating.
A theoretical purified core of Iron (large enough to be exactly one-third of the asteroid belt) purified in size can be suspended spaced sufficiently apart from a second similar core approximately but not exactly the same size so that they interact, another third of the asteroid belt. This allows that the two cores can interact.
Shielding would we surmise be necessary but like a watch body the structural frame can divert and control large amounts of the flux. Power is available by tapping the frame at set distances. Carefully designed mechanical closing circuits can switch parts of the flow, and I suppose there is enough material to create an alloy with titanium so that the metal structural frame do not corrode.
If shielding is necessary for the actual cores, I suppose they generate some heat, I suggest we look at the work in Fusion technology to provide shielding. It may be simple to provide a retractable cylindrical shroud for each core and provide circulation that prevents heat transfer.
The cores must be large enough to operate as they reach interstellar space, the same way a battery flattens when it is further from the mass of the Earth, the mass of the celestial body our Milky-Way galaxy also has an effect on the cores.
Of course, all this is theoretical until it is resolved that it could work, but suppose, what powers the Sun. We know the Sun has a core, a magnetic field, and so forth with our observations. And why should it not be that once started Iron that can be magnetised continues to interact with another magnet nearby.
All of this will have to be decided on a very small scale, such as an apparatus capable of powering a mobile colony of humans to voyage throughout the Universe would be far too powerful to operate in the direct vicinity of Earth, and the Iron cores cannot be made too large. It is theory to me that if you leave a strong magnet is place eventually magma will come as it is rich with Iron.
If a design can be accomplished on paper and the theory proven we should build one large bucket front vessel to scoop all of the asteroids magnetically contained in one scoop, just drive into the oncoming asteroid belt and leave the mass in orbit where we have a resource available to build in space.
