Exploratory pre-ionized plasma model. More rendering detail does not add simulation resolution or establish FRC formation, stability or confinement.

Physical model, source and rendering

The volume is revolved from the actual axisymmetric current. Colors show A/m²; opacity is illustrative, not emitted light. Low-current filtering changes visibility only. Thin interpolation boundary cells are omitted, and vacuum carries no current. Field lines are interpolated paths, not particle trajectories. All directions share one length scale.
