Genuine principles. External three-dimensional magnetic fields provide rotational transform and help confine charged particles. The vessel provides a vacuum boundary; cryogenic thermal shielding protects the superconducting magnet environment. Divertor surfaces address exhaust and plasma-wall interactions.
Engineering-inspired reconstruction. Coils, supports, vacuum ports, cryogenic manifolds and enclosures are fictional arrangements inspired by common stellarator subsystems. No dimensions, ratings, assembly tolerances or performance values describe a real machine.
Simplified educational representation. Magnetic field lines are artistically traced curves, not solutions of field equations. Plasma glow and moving tracers do not represent computed MHD equilibrium, particle collisions, orbit losses or fusion rate. The scalar slider inputs are illustrative.
Equations (textbook). μ₀ ≈ 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m; kB = 1.380649×10⁻²³ J/K; mp = 1.6726219×10⁻²⁷ kg; e = 1.602176634×10⁻¹⁹ C. Magnetic pressure pB = B²/(2μ₀); v⊥ ≈ √(2kBT/mp) for an illustrative characteristic speed; ρL = mpv⊥/(eB); p = nkBT for one ideal-gas species; f = eB/(2πmp). A Maxwellian component rms speed is more specifically related to kBT/mp; the 2kBT expression corresponds to a kinetic-energy convention, not a full distribution average.
Independent numeric check. The cyclotron frequency displayed by the engine is compared with an independently evaluated angular-frequency conversion f = ω/(2π), where ω = eB/mp. Equality is numerical consistency, not empirical validation.
