I do wonder how much practical information you could derive from a fully formed, micro-scale polywell. Say with a volume inside the magnets of 10cm in diameter? Could this be built and be useful, and how much would it cost to build? EDIT: This is my kind of coded way of asking if this is a type of t...

If Ohms Law doesn't strictly apply in DC superconductors, them things seem to work out (in my mind). So long as the resistance is close enough to zero that it doesn't make any measurable difference, things work. Inductance would always be present while the superconductor is being charged from a ver...

Current would simply be measured as Amps, like always. V=IR, Ohm's Law doesn't apply in all cases, with superconductors being a notable one (solid state electronics is another). Remember, amperage is coulombs per seconds, which is quite literally a measure of electron charges per second moving past ...

The main reason cold fusion is discounted is because there's little evidence to suggest the external electron environment and sufficiently influence the fusion cross-section of nuclei. That said, there is *some* evidence that a palladium matrix can be used to increase the rate of beta-decay in certa...

He's been complaining the process is too slow however. Doing it from the program means it can occur at a logical point in the code execution, rather then being time-sliced with the operating system. It also means you could add an easily selectable counter for the time-compression factor. Anyway, not...

Happyjack couldn't you get the simulation to directly output images / video? You're generating an image for the screen, so surely you have the image in a buffer somewhere? At the very least this would let you make a filmstrip which could be compressed later. not about to write a program that does v...

The actual picture is probably somewhere in the middle. you say this as i'm watching the actual picture on my computer screen. :) (i'll make a video for you guys. i've got to find software to speed it up.)

Tada! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5zPjqashAc i've made the protons a little darker blue since i recorded that video 'cause i noticed they were a little hard to differentiate from the borons. now i can officially say i did something that was pretty cool and had something to show for it. ;) Nice ...

So is there any possibility of modeling the magnetic field distribution all these whacky coil shaped would produce?
