The Burner Digital Twin

The burner digital twin models the Aegis / MetroVolt D-3He tandem mirror, whose control problem - plug fields, ambipolar potential, and direct energy conversion - differs sharply from the breeder's.

What it captures

The tandem mirror is a low-neutron D-3He machine: end-plug fields and the ambipolar potential confine the central cell, and a direct energy converter recovers charged-particle energy. The twin couples these so plug control and recirculation are modeled together.

Two housings, one burner

Aegis (defense installations) and MetroVolt (data-center campuses) are the same burner in two housings; function-first naming keeps the physics clear across both.

Honest note

As with the breeder, twin results are computed targets validated after hardware milestones.
