I agree, I am merely thinking of ways to simulate the effect of the plasma within the confines of the modeling software/method. The sum of the electron sheath interactions simulates a field that counters the Magrid field.
This is not a PIC sim, so we look for a method to represent the sum effect.

I was thinking if you could figure a way to insert a monpole in the center and vary the strength, that could represent the plamsa ball. The issue I see with the PEC/PMC is representative field structure in the 3D. Maybe I am thinking about it too hard... I keep seeing it as a spherical torus. How ab...

Will the software support a monopole in the center?

They are calling it "Blitzer"

Google that and you will find some info.

I wish the video was slower. But, this is the best I've seen yet for the fields. Good job. When you compare this against actual photos, it does seem to play well. You can mentally tranpose the spikey ball. Now if we could include the plasma effects on the magnetic field... When you project it in you...

http://gizmodo.com/5402607/us-army-rail-gun-fires-for-the-first-time This is a good photo of the current navy project. Don't let the "army" tag mislead you. It was a multiple round test conducted at dugway. The test article is a proof of concept build for the ship mounted design. Notice the circular...

The ultimate point I see here is that Rick and Co. are required by contract clause to ask permission to make any releases. Also, given the political nature of the arena they are working in, it would seem that the better course is to keep a lower profile and work the project. However, that said, I am...

" (ie, how much space between the grid and the walls of the chamber?). "

Ahhh, part of the rub I think for home brew. Those big chambers get real expensive.

Given the odds on getting in right first light off, my point exactly! The first try or so have the highest probability of pretty colors and coolest video clips.

Really, you don't say. I am particularly fond of when he realized that maybe he should not be so close to his new gadget when it is running, and the followon bit about how neutrons do tend to activate the stuff you have made your science project out of. Good stuff. I really respect Famulus, again, h...

For those that have been a Famulus Fan for some time, you may remember he quit his day job (software something or other) to go full on with Polywell. I also (as stated some time ago) think it rocks that he is doing. I also like the excitement of the occasional chance that he may blow himself up as h...

The nice lady at NAVAIR Weapons who is my FOIA coordinator has confirmed to me yesterday that I will get a letter by 18 March. Whether it will be postive or negative or something in between remains to be seen. She did not indicate either way, as I am sure she cannot until it is done. In any event, b...
