The torsion-container blueprints (Rev C) by William Alexander Aldred, released to the public domain on October 30, 2026. No patents will be sought by the author; this deposit is a defensive publication — the design stands as prior art on a permanent, dated record so that no person, company, or government can lock it up. The design: the drive core of a craft that is, in the designer's frame, a time machine — one machine, not two. A heavy superconducting element, spun with electric current inside a ceramic torsion container, becomes a plasma held dead center by a spinning torsion ring; the stack, outside-in, is a thermal skin, a cryogenic layer, the ceramic container, the ring, and the core. The fuel determination (included) names the element from published physical properties: tantalum-181. The grades, printed at full size on the release itself: this is a paper design study — no device exists, nothing has been built, and no dimension carries a value (every measurement is a parameter; 18 open parameters are tabled as unknowns). THERMODYNAMICS CLEAN · DESIGN COHERENT. The torsion channel is UNPROVEN; confinement and on-demand folding are OPEN PROBLEMS; BUBBLE CHANNEL UNPROVEN · SCALE UNMET. The document contains no fabrication steps and no operating procedures. It is the shape of an idea, published so the idea can never be owned. Release page: https://daveexolex.com/blueprints/
