Maybe this is pedantic but it does look like it has fivefold rotational symmetry, which makes it a lot more regular than a typical car body, for example. Still, complex geometry.
- skimpycompiler 11y agoYeah, it was probably something symmetrical in the laws that allowed them to simulate only single part of the coil - saving the computing time and lowering the search space, stacking up resulted in full coil.
- theoh 11y agoI'm not sure about the laws you refer to. It seems to me that the constraint is that for a twisting ribbon-like plasma they had to have an integral number of twists or half twists in a complete circuit, not twisting too sharply, not too gradually.
