How the Simulation Engine Works
Jinxirn Puckast translates traditional woodturning into precise numerical physics. The Workshop module functions as a virtual lathe where you construct spinning tops section by section, choosing from authentic materials including pine, beech, tungsten, and brass. Each material selection dynamically updates mass distribution calculations visible in real time.
The Spin Lab runs full physics simulations tracking tilt angle progression, RPM decay curves, energy loss vectors, and phase transitions from stable precession to wobble to fall. Critical spin rate thresholds are computed based on your exact geometry and mass properties, allowing you to identify minimum launch speeds before physical manufacture.
Advanced users deploy the Tuner module to automate design optimization. Set target parameters such as maximum sleep time or minimum critical rate, and the algorithm iterates through geometry variations to locate optimal configurations. Export detailed spec cards with cross-section diagrams and complete mass-property sheets to share with other craftspeople or reference during actual turning sessions.
Verified Specifications
Complete Feature Breakdown
Virtual Workshop Lathe
Design spinning tops section by section with authentic woodturning controls. Select from four real material densities—pine, beech, tungsten, brass—and watch mass calculations update as you adjust geometry. Center-of-mass visualization ensures balanced designs before you ever touch a physical lathe.
Physics Spin Laboratory
Full simulation engine tracking tilt angle progression, RPM decay, tip friction energy loss, air drag calculations, and imbalance wobble. Observe phase transitions from stable sleep through precession to final fall. Sleep time duration measured to millisecond precision with complete energy accounting.
Automatic Tuner Optimizer
Define optimization targets—maximum sleep time, minimum critical launch rate, or custom parameters—and let the algorithm search geometry space for optimal configurations. Iterative refinement produces designs tuned for specific performance goals without manual trial-and-error.
Competitive Arena Battles
Battle AI opponents across full season ladder with multiple rings and rungs. Face Sleeper archetypes grinding stamina wars or Attacker types exploiting imbalance vulnerabilities. Choose between The Flat Board for open combat or concave dish arenas locking tops in close-quarters collisions.
Detailed Spec Card Export
Generate professional spec cards containing cross-section diagrams, complete mass-property sheets, and best-run statistics. Save to photo library or send to other users. Perfect for documenting designs before manufacture or sharing configurations with fellow craftspeople in woodturning communities.
Real Material Properties
Physics calculations use authentic material densities and friction coefficients. Tungsten cores shift center of mass low for stability. Brass accents add rotational inertia. Pine and beech provide lightweight options for high-speed spinning. Every material choice impacts critical rate and sleep duration.
