A section of NCSX, a fusion reactor so ambitious and advanced for its day that it was cancelled while half-built, in 2008. Each of those massive squiggly copper magnets — of which there were many — had to be held to sub-millimeter precision through many thermal cycles in liquid nitrogen. The vessel is solid inconel. What a beast!

Somebody remind me to write up a more thorough post about the history of stellarators at some point.

Allow this Chocobo to hold your glasses ⊟

I didn’t realize that my amblyopia was a long game to get myself a plush glasses holding Chocobo, but it turns out that I’m a total genius. Now I have as good a reason as possible to buy one of these from NCSX.

“A BEAMS3D simulation of neutral beam injection into the NCSX stellarator. Blue lines depict neutral particles being injected while red lines trace out the ion particle trajectories.  Trajectories for charge particles are gyro-center trajectories. Three cross-sections of the NCSX equilibrium boundary are plotted in blue.“

You can import those Sonic shoes ⊟ 

I don’t know if Sonic’s shoes translate to my personal style (since I wear clothes and I’m not covered in blue fur) but they sure do look cool. NCSX has these Sonic the Hedgehog Anippon sneakers available for preorder, at $68.90 per pair. Enjoy figuring out Japanese shoe sizes!

Street Fighter losers will hold up your phone ⊟

This set of Street Fighter phone stands (and smushed Guile coaster) is already sold out on NCSX, and as far as I can tell preorders just went up. I guess... I didn’t need this. I mean, nobody needs this. But still, how magnificent are these things?

You might need a Kirby hat ⊟ 

If you have been suffering without a hat shaped like Kirby, your pain can come to an end as soon as next February, when Ensky will release this hat. It’s up for preorder on Amiami and NCSX. 

I’m not sure where you’d wear this hat, but you’ll know when you get there.

Dragon Quest monogram mug ⊟ 

For once, an item of Dragon Quest merch that isn’t just shaped like a Slime. It does have little Slime outlines on it, but basically it’s just a hella classy tiled design. I love it.

It’s $18.90 at NCSX.
