Build the simulation core for active magnetic shielding.

We are assembling a focused engineering team to build AegisTwin: a physics-tested simulation engine for high-energy particles and their interactions with EM fields, built for Aegis, the world's first commercial Active Magnetic Radiation Shield.

This design is for aesthetic reference only and does not represent our protected, novel concept or implementation.

Why This Matters

Deep-space missions are mass-limited. Passive shielding alone is not enough.

Long-duration missions beyond low Earth orbit require serious radiation shielding to protect crews and keep mission risk within acceptable limits. Passive shielding alone is not enough for deep-space operations because it scales into mass and volume penalties that are hard to launch and integrate. Aegis pursues Active Magnetic Radiation Shielding to deflect harmful particles with fields rather than only adding material mass. What we add is a simulation-first digital engineering suite: high-fidelity particle trajectory and magnetic-field modeling, rapid design iteration, and digital-to-lab build workflows that reduce risk before operational deployment.

What We Are Building

One integrated pipeline across field design, particle dynamics, and gap analysis.

We operate with a simulation-first design principle: the simulations we build are central to how we evaluate concepts and make engineering decisions. Compute-heavy workloads like Biot-Savart field solves and large-batch particle tracing are GPU-accelerated and dispatched to remote compute nodes, letting us run millions of trajectories per configuration.

Magnetic Configuration Builder

Create composable field geometries and solve volumetric B-fields via Biot-Savart integration on GPU.

  • Composable coil and solenoid primitives
  • GPU-accelerated field evaluation over 3D voxel grids
  • Tricubic interpolation for smooth field lookups

Isotropic Particle Shooter

Trace charged-particle trajectories through interpolated field volumes using symplectic integrators on GPU.

  • Isotropic source sampling over a bounding sphere
  • Boris or Verlet integration for energy-conserving trajectories
  • Massively parallel batch runs dispatched to remote compute nodes

Gap Analyzer and Field Reporter

Classify penetration events, map shielding weak points, and derive minimum field-strength requirements by solid-angle region.

  • Hit detection and angular penetration binning
  • Dose-proxy heatmaps and shielding-factor metrics
  • Per-region field-strength threshold reports
