Not sure why the picture is not showing up.
You forgot to include the protocol in your IMG link (needs to start with http:// in order for it to access an image). I updated your comment to include the http:// prior to the domain name.
I hate those stupid little things you don't see right away. Anyways the problem was a simple one, here is a quick pic of the result of adding two complex numbers and plotting the real number on the X axis, and the imaginary on the Y axis and step up the Z axis.
Not sure why the picture is not showing up. I have it on my server. click this Bi-rotation Result to view it.
rot1: amplitude = 1, theta velocity = 1, phase = 0.
rot2: amplitude = 1, theta velocity = -1 (opposite direction), phase = 0.
That will reproduce Nehru's birotating photon, with a cosine wave on the X (real) axis
this worked like a charm, and then I went and change a few veriables, and now something is not working! Crap. But it did produce a cosine wave. Will have a picture as soon as I fix the problem.
I want to try to post the full sized the pictures here. I do have a web server in my home. Lets see if this works.
Try again. I've added you as a 'researcher' so you can get additional quota and features on the site.
You can upload images to the server via the file attachments menu below the comment box. After you upload, you can right-click and copy the URL from the filename, and use it to make inline images in the comment.
should the amplitudes be the same or just pick some values?
The amplitude should be 1 in both cases, but I would recommend a user selectable range, perhaps 1 to 8, by integer steps (default 1) so we could do some experimenting with harmonics and examine the resulting waveforms.
The defaults for a normal birotation should be:
rot1: amplitude = 1, theta velocity = 1, phase = 0.
rot2: amplitude = 1, theta velocity = -1 (opposite direction), phase = 0.
That will reproduce Nehru's birotating photon, with a cosine wave on the X (real) axis.
If you have a user interface to control the variables, it would be nice to control the theta velocity with a slider and CW/CCW button, so it would run CW (+n) or CCW (-n), with a magnitude of 1-8 as well. The phase angle should be +- 180 degrees (convert to radians for code) with a default of zero.
