Though I do see possibly one gross error.

It seems that the metal screws used may further impact the magnetic fields. Rather than stainless steel screws you may want to use nylon or plastic or anything non-conductive or electrically neutral non-metal.

Then in the test stage ramp up the voltage slowly to see if the screws will hold when the magnetic fields are generated.

Have you looked at the gauss fields?

Arcing would be a problem at higher voltages needed for fusion, but lesser voltage would be enough to study plasma dynamics. I note the spacing between coils is much less than WB-6, which suggests losses at those cusps would be huge.
