The SunCell

SunCell Prototype
Then you see beautiful golden light emerge, flickering, with molten metal spitting out like a volcano boiling over. It is fragile, struggling, and almost masked by the smoke of vaporized metal that plumes from the reaction.  
Beyond the smoky plume is a light that grows, steady but surely, penetrating through, until it enraptures you in its golden light, like watching a glowing campfire in the middle of the night. And though you don't expect it, it grows still, washing over you in waves of golden warmth, and when you feel it could not be more beautiful, the gold, now solid and unwavering, grows to white, and the white begins to beam. It washes out everything in your peripheral vision, and you find yourself staring into an impossible brilliance. 
The night no longer exists, for the campfire has become the sun.

Illustrations update!

Lots of new images to share!
A pole-vaulter. Used as an analogy for quantum tunneling of an extended classical electron.

A quasar.

A tractoid, a surface of constant negative curvature.

J.J. Thomson's Cathode Ray tube. The early ancestor of the television!

Spatial representation of spherical harmonics

Coronal loops arcing above the surface of the sun.

Deoxyribose nucleic acid

A gamma-ray burst

A debate between Einstein and Heisenberg, modeled on Raphael's School of Athens showing the debate between Plato and Aristotle. I really love how this one came out. Early twentieth century physicists had cool hair.

Organic molecules!

Double slit experiment - conceptual diagram

Methane
Now for some reruns - images that you may have seen before, but that underwent some corrections.

The Free Electron (revised)

H2 (revised)

H2O molecule (revised)

Extended distribution of charge (revised)

Hydrino states. These radii are proportionally correct!! It shows that deep hydrino states become really tiny.

Pseudo-electron orbitsphere velocity distribution

That's all for now!
