A toroidally shaped magnetic device with distortion-free exit and access ports provides toroidal magnetic ionic drive systems for vehicles that achieve a more operationally efficient, uniform and stronger radial magnetic field. This is accomplished by magnetizing a group of magic cylinder sections in a cylindrical direction and affixing them to a uniformly magnetized cylindrical shell with no magnetic field in its central cavity to produce composite cylindrical magnetic segments magnetized in a cylindrical direction with a central cavity and a uniform interior magnetic field. The composite segments are then bent into a toroidal tube and configured in such a way that longitudinal slots can be removed from the outer surface for exit and access ports. Other embodiments include a magnetic propulsion system for space vehicles and methods for magnetizing the toroidal ionic drive structure for a vehicle.
