Here is a web based 3D simulator that I put together that demonstrates 3D trapping of an electron in a magnetic mirror device and in a polywell device.

Just click the "start simulation" button to start simulating the electron motion in the device. You can left click and drag your mouse in the 3D window to move around in 3D. Right click and drag your mouse to zoom in and out. Other configuration options are available on the right hand side of the 3D window.

The 3D simulation only works with latest versions of Firefox and Chrome web browsers. So if you have an older version of these browsers it may not work. For Internet Explorer browsers, you will be prompted to install a plugin from Google to get the 3D to work properly.

can certain cpu burning options be added?
more electrons, iterating faster through the calculations?

You know, now you can have multiple tests using variations in the parameters and log the length of time the electron remains within a certain radius. beyond that radius it is considered 'escaped'.

I made some updates to my web based 3D polywell simulator.

I am now using the Boris Method to calculate the motion of the electron in the Electric and Magnetic field based on this blog post.

Under the display tab I added options to display the E Field and Electric Potential Field in addition to the B Field.
