its too slow

its all too slow.

electrons flow waaaaay faster

either its an ultra slowed simulatiion where the whole reaction is micro micro microsecond

[harakas42]

it's ultra turbo super mega slow simulation of course

[Santoslhelpa]

it .. IS.. working longerm atall, correct?

[harakas42]

that.. we do not know yet. could be it works. could be it doesn't. but there are some very smart people right now working on it to find that out. we'll have to wait and see.

WHAT IS THIS MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I stick my head in there, do I get superpowers?

jk

Shit like this is my only hope for our kind.

somehow this is strangely arousing to my head... the one that contains the brain of course, and not the little one down there. xD

i think the music is just terrible, like some slow motion little house on the prairie civil war montage scene out of a bad TV movie

i wrote my own polywell simulation software for a GPGPU and made lots of videos of the sims.

on the order of 10s of thousands of particles, both ions and electrons, sim includes all particle-particle interactions, both electric and magnetic, as well as all static electric and magnetic fields from the grids.

check it out. youtube user: happyjack27 (since i can't seem to post a link here)

The music makes we think I'm watching the Riders of Rohan doing some parade.

Looks broken to me - you need to use Einstein's relativity or Hertzian Electrodynamics. The usual Heaviside field form of Maxwell's is BROKEN!

Unlike in tokamak, you can't assume that the magnetic field of the moving particles is negligible... in fact, polywell only works when it reaches "beta=1" which is when the trapped electrons behave like they're in a superconductor... ie - they don't null the E field, they null the B field... "fusion" physicists always get this wrong. :(

dramatic traveling music!

[GProfessor]

How large is the device?

And what does it rest on or does it float?

[PlanckLimit]

I wonder if "pulsing" the magnetic fields by rapidly increasing then decreasing the current slightly to the electromagnets would improve particle collision?
