Independent algebraic check: 1.250 T ✓ agrees

Check uses B = (2 × 10⁻⁴) × N × I[kA] / R[m]. Not a 3D stellarator field solver.

The winding count is an analogy parameter, not the actual count of modeled turns. These controls change readouts and illustrative field effects, not the built geometry.

05 / The science — assumptions and equations

Genuine physics: stellarators use spatially shaped external magnetic coils to generate non-axisymmetric confining fields. A magnetic field bends charged-particle trajectories through the Lorentz force; superconducting coils require thermal management and structural restraint.

Engineering-inspired reconstruction: modular field coils, helical vessel, thermal shields, helium piping, ports, support frames, ceramic isolators, diagnostic racks and service walkways are illustrative, not copied from a facility drawing.

Textbook reference equations:

B = μ₀NI / (2πR) — ideal toroidal-solenoid analogue; not the field calculation for non-planar stellarator coils.
fₚ = eB / (2πmₚ) — classical proton cyclotron frequency in a locally uniform field.
pᴮ = B² / (2μ₀) — equivalent magnetic energy density, reported in pascals.
V = 2π²Ra² — geometric torus volume using scaled minor radius a = 0.39 m, not measured plasma volume.

Independent check: a second algebraic calculation of B evaluates 2 × 10⁻⁴ N I[kA] / R[m] separately from the main computation. Agreement checks arithmetic, not experimental validity.

Simplified: static geometry, no Grad–Shafranov or stellarator equilibrium solution, no coil Biot–Savart integration, no collision transport, heat flux or stress analysis. Field ribbons, plasma light and particle paths are qualitative animation.

Speculative: the named HELIONYX S5 facility and its layout are fictional. Illustrative design, not affiliated with any real institution or manufacturer.
