Hey Steven, the website is looking very nice; and enjoyed perusing your artwork.
So that's what happened to Kinkade!! And when I come back for another round on this physical plain, I want to get a speeding ticket on the galactic highway! Most talented you be. Oh, some of the orbital forms sure seem strange and totally unexpected. we're so used to seeing boring mostly circular orbits that it would be fascinating to see one like your simulations. are you aware of any (from astronomers papers) that might be very non-circular? -mark From: OrionWorks - Steven Vincent Johnson [mailto:orionwo...@charter.net] Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 7:01 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: [Vo]:Noble Gas Plasma Engine: inside piccy > Would you mind giving us a short preview of the higher > power effects you simulated.

Check out: http://test.orionworks.com/ As you might have guessed this is one of the sub-domain locations where I'm in the midst of performing a major overhaul of my entire web site. THIS LOCATION IS A TEST SITE! EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Lots of links here don't work, or work incorrectly. Things here are constantly subject to change without notice as I experiment & fiddle about with this and that feature. Here today. gone tomorrow. The celestial mechanics animation is a multi-framed gif file. I chose using an animated GIF file in this situation over flash because flash is not supported on Apple's IPad platform... at least not officially. It's a shame. I believe this particular animation involved three factors: a positive force 1/r (NOT 1/r^2) a negative/repulsive 1/r^3 force and an external constant force that was gradually built up over a series of animations. It was the external force that changed over the entire simulation run. Everything else remained a constant, so to speak. The external force is gradually building up from the bottom of the picture. As the force builds upward it gradually forces the orbiting satellite to gyrate (wiggle and dance!) upwards. Eventually it pops out of the picture! What astonished me as I ran these simulations were the number of unexpected bifurcations that would suddenly manifest when I least expected it. Many, MANY of my simulations exhibited an astonishing number of unexpected bifurcations. I have generated many other simulations that produce far more interesting effects, and beauty. Hopefully before the end of the year I'll have a few additional things out there. We'll see how it goes. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
