W reduction at increasing T disproves this statement.

Other way around. The data disproves "W reduction at increasing T".

T≈(1e5eV)∗(1.6e-19joule/eV)/(1.38e-23joule/K)
...
T≈1e9K.
Within a couple of orders of magnitude of the transverse temperature, slightly smaller than the transverse temperature at the IP where there's greater transverse pressure but slightly larger elsewhere. – Peter Morgan Feb 20 '15 at 16:08

Held by strong magnetic fields.

see LucidFlight above. The calculations of the required strength of the magnetic fields has 0 relation to your wibble.
