# Leedskalnin Dual Magnetic Current Visualizer

Produces a real-time 3D visualization of Ed Leedskalnin's unconventional magnetic theory — two streams of individual North-pole and South-pole "magnets" flowing in opposite helical screws through conductors and the Earth, interacting with matter to produce Leedskalnin's alleged levitation and quarrying techniques at Coral Castle — using Three.js r182+, React Three Fiber v9, TSL shaders, and GPU particles.

## When to Use

- User asks to visualize Leedskalnin's magnetic current, individual north/south magnets, or dual magnetic screws
- User wants a 3D rendering of counter-streaming helical magnetic particle flows through a conductor
- An interactive demonstration of Leedskalnin's alternative magnetic model is needed
- User is building an educational tool around Coral Castle, Ed Leedskalnin's experiments, or alternative electromagnetism
- User wants to render two-fluid magnetic current flows, helical screw paths, or magnetic current generator animations

## Process

1. **Conductor and coil geometry**:
   - Model a simple horseshoe magnet as two `BoxGeometry` legs with a `CylinderGeometry` arc, colored red (North) and blue (South) per pole
   - Model a coil of wire as a helical `TubeGeometry` generated from a parametric helix path: `x = R·cos(θ)`, `y = p·θ`, `z = R·sin(θ)` with `n` turns
   - Add a straight conductor bar `CylinderGeometry` for the basic current-flow demonstration
   - Render all conductor metal with `MeshStandardMaterial({ metalness: 0.9, roughness: 0.2, color: 0xb87333 })` (copper)

2. **Dual magnetic current streams — North screw**:
   - Spawn 30 000 "North individual magnet" particles (shown as small red spheres via `Points` with a circular point texture) flowing through the conductor in one helical direction
   - Each particle traces a right-handed helical path: `x(t) = R·cos(ω·t + φ)`, `y(t) = v·t mod L`, `z(t) = R·sin(ω·t + φ)`, computed in the TSL vertex shader
   - Particles glow bright red-orange; use `Bloom` to amplify the "individual magnet" luminosity
   - When particles exit the conductor end, curl outward into the external field path and return to the entry end

3. **Dual magnetic current streams — South screw**:
   - Spawn 30 000 "South individual magnet" particles flowing in the opposite helical direction (left-handed screw, `ω` negated)
   - Render as small blue-cyan `Points` on a counter-rotating helix — exact mirror of the North stream
   - The two streams visually interpenetrate and pass through each other, as per Leedskalnin's claim that they flow simultaneously through the same conductor

4. **External field loop visualization**:
   - Show the complete circuit of each magnetic stream as looping paths outside the conductor: North particles arch from North pole through space to South pole; South particles loop the reverse
   - Render these external paths as semi-transparent `TubeGeometry` arcs using a `ShaderMaterial` that fades opacity with distance from the conductor
   - Animate a traveling brightness pulse along each tube at the stream's flow velocity

5. **Coral Castle levitation hypothesis**:
   - Show a stylized coral limestone block (`BoxGeometry` with a coral-texture `MeshStandardMaterial`) suspended above the horseshoe magnet
   - Animate the block rotating slowly as Leedskalnin claimed to spin blocks to neutralize gravity
   - Render the "neutralizing" magnetic current streams as a symmetrical crossing pattern of North and South particles meeting at the block's center — the equal-opposite flows cancel the "gravity pull" in Leedskalnin's model
   - Label this section clearly as "Leedskalnin's Theoretical Model — Unverified"

6. **Magnetic current generator animation**:
   - Model Leedskalnin's PMH (Permanent Magnet Holder) as a U-shaped iron core with two bar magnets bridged across it
   - Animate the dual magnetic current streams circulating continuously through the closed iron loop
   - Show the current switching direction when the bridge magnet is flipped (a toggle control)

7. **Post-processing**:
   - `Bloom` (threshold 0.2, intensity 2.0) for the particle streams and external field arcs
   - `ChromaticAberration` (offset 0.001) for the conductor material
   - Subtle `Vignette` to focus on the central device

8. **Runtime controls (lil-gui)**:
   - `flow_speed` (0.1–5) — velocity of both magnetic current streams
   - `stream_density` (5k–100k per polarity) — particle count per stream
   - `coil_turns` (1–20) — number of turns in the coil geometry
   - `levitation_mode` (toggle) — activates the Coral Castle block levitation animation
   - `pmh_mode` (toggle) — switches from horseshoe magnet to PMH closed-loop display
   - Toggles: `show_north_stream`, `show_south_stream`, `show_external_field`, `show_levitation_hypothesis`

## Boundaries

- Do NOT present Leedskalnin's "individual magnet" model as established physics — it contradicts the dipole nature of magnetic fields as established by Maxwell's equations; label it as Leedskalnin's personal alternative theory.
- Do NOT suggest the visualization provides engineering instructions for levitation.
- Do NOT recreate geometry per frame — reuse all `BufferGeometry` attributes.
- Always distinguish clearly between the verifiable behavior of magnets and Leedskalnin's alternative interpretive model.
- Present Leedskalnin's work in its historical context as an autodidact's experiments documented in self-published booklets in the 1940s.
