I created my own PIC simulator for the polywell to experiment with. A PIC simulator is usually used for low density plasmas. For high density plasmas an MHD simulator is more appropriate. What I was seeing with my PIC simulator is that the magnetic grid would influence the location of the trapping e...

ions in potential well

How are the ions in the potential well supposed to travel in order for the polywell to work. Are the ions supposed to fall straight down into the well and collide at the bottom of the well. Or is it expected that they will follow an elliptical orbit and collide with other ions on some other elliptic...
