These pages are some of my attempts to visualize the vector fields (actually differential forms) of electromagnetism. These images are inspired by the works of the authors in my references.

These visualizations require a VRML-enabled browser. CosmoPlayer information from Karmanaut CosmoPlayer at NIST CosmoPlayer installation advice (vrmlworks.crispen.org) or WorldView or Blaxxun or Cortona or my new favorite: GLView (Mac: Zaptech BeOS: Breeze Linux et al... build your own: OVAL. With help from Sun's Java3D xj3d ) Try this new Shout3D version of my Electric Dipole.
