Firefox 5 supports webgl, but you also need graphics hardware in your computer that supports something called "shading" and "hardware accelerated 3D graphics" in order for webgl to work. A lot of older graphics cards don't support shading so webgl will not work on these computers. So if webgl doesn'...

The underlying technology used to show 3D in a web page in current versions google Chrome and Firefox web browsers is called webGL . So if webgl works in your web browser on your computer then it should be able to display the 3D polywell simulation. Here is a site from google that has several webgl ...

I updated my web based 3D polywell simulator to take into account the charge on the magrid. Just click the start simulation button to simulate electron trapping in the polywell during startup conditions. http://members.shaw.ca/johncoady/polywell.html The electron starts off at a configured location ...

No I did not take into account a charge on the magnetic grid in my simulation. The simulation is just based on the motion of an electron of a given energy and the magnetic field generated by the polywell. I think the term recirculation refers to the electron moving moving around inside polywell and ...

I my web based 3D simulation of electron trapping I noticed that when the electron escapes the polywell it never returns. I am just simulating a single electron of a given kinetic energy moving around in the polywell based on the Lorentz force. You can view the simulation in 3D in your web page here...

web based 3D simulation of electron trapping

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. http://members.shaw.ca/johncoady/magneticmirror.html http://members.shaw.ca/johncoady/polywell.html Just click the "start simulation" button to star...
