HBF Scientific Lab

Release 7.5.2 · Browser-native research software

Seven laboratories for proton–boron-11 physics.

HBF Scientific Lab is an interactive suite for calculating proton–boron-11 reaction rates, reaction kinematics, magnetic configuration scales, charged-particle transport, detector images and electrostatic energy recovery. Each laboratory states the equations it solves, the published data it reads and the domain over which its result is defined. Everything runs locally in the browser — no account, no server, no upload.

The laboratories

Every laboratory pairs a named control set with live three-dimensional geometry and a structured export. Results recompute from the inputs on screen; nothing is precomputed or replayed from a recording.

01 Maxwellian rate integral

FusionSim

Integrates the published p–¹¹B cross section over a Maxwellian relative-energy distribution to give ⟨σv⟩, reaction-rate density and fusion power. Resolves quasineutral composition and Zeff, compares fusion power against relativistic bremsstrahlung, and sweeps any input over 3–101 linear or logarithmic points with seeded Monte-Carlo sensitivity.

02 AME2020 atomic masses

Isotope Fusion Explorer

Reaction energetics from the AME2020 mass slice using relativistic invariant-s kinematics: Q values, laboratory thresholds, binding energies and exact two-body partitions across nine channels. A sequential p+¹¹B→α+⁸Be*→3α sampler performs exact Lorentz boosts and closes energy, momentum and the alpha mass shell on every event.

03 Analytic mirror field

Virtual Reactor Lab

A magnetic-mirror workbench in the original 33-component reactor hall. Solves the parabolic axial field B(z)=B₀[1+(Rm−1)(2z/L)²] with a divergence-free near-axis radial completion, then reports loss-cone angle, trapped fraction, relativistic gyroradius and gyrofrequency, turning point, bounce period, Debye length and stored thermal inventory. Cutaway, X-ray and explode views expose every component.

04 Toroidal configuration

Torus Lab

A full-window toroidal observatory computing the vacuum toroidal field Bφ=B₀R₀/R, the poloidal field from plasma current, cylindrical edge safety factor q(a), beta and normalised-beta diagnostics, Greenwald density comparison and relativistic alpha orbit scales. Over 150 named controls are organised across tour, experiment, particle, sensor, energy and comparison modes with camera rails and timeline playback.

05 Local pixel analysis

AlphaTrack

A detector-image workbench that runs the full segmentation pipeline in the browser: luminance conversion, Otsu or manual thresholding, 4- or 8-connected component labelling, then area, centroid, bounding box, equivalent diameter and pixel-edge compactness per object. Counting intervals use exact central Garwood below n=100 and an identified Wilson–Hilferty approximation above. Images never leave the machine.

06 Two independent models

DirectConvert

Electrostatic energy recovery from an MeV alpha spectrum, modelled two ways. A discrete stage ledger credits Erec=qΔφ to the highest strictly admissible stage and checks Esource=Erecovered+Eresidual exactly. In parallel, the Rax–Kolmes–Fisch adiabatic E×B limit is solved by bisection and verified against its θ=0° and 90° analytic limits. Child–Langmuir screens run per stage gap.

Reactor 3D

Couples the source, magnetic configuration, alpha tracer, collector and plant-boundary layers into one instrumented workbench. Particle paths integrate by relativistic Boris rotation in prescribed static analytic fields, verified by constant kinetic energy in a frozen uniform field and by centred finite-difference ∇·B checks. Every coupling assumption is recorded with the run.

What every laboratory shares

The seven applications are built on the same numerical kernels, the same bundled datasets and the same record format, so a value calculated in one laboratory means the same thing in another.

Method reference

Equations, data sources and validity domains

A single reference for the model contracts behind all seven laboratories: the rate integral, invariant-s kinematics, the mirror and toroidal field expressions, the segmentation pipeline, the conversion ledger and the numerical checks applied to each.

Research tools

Snapshot panels, transfers and diagnostics

Canonical input hashing, immutable result records, numerical diagnostics and explicit cross-laboratory transfers — the working surface for setting up a study, comparing configurations and carrying a result from one laboratory into the next.

Seeking research partners

HBF Network is looking for university, research institute and industry partners for a proposed 24-month programme on direct charged-particle energy conversion — model review, experimental capability, instrumentation or joint funding applications. The first milestone is a university-supervised, non-fusion demonstrator.

Running the suite

HBF Scientific Lab is a static package. Upload the extracted folder to any web host that serves plain files, open index.html, and the laboratories load directly. A modern browser with JavaScript enabled is required; WebGL2 enables the GPU renderer, and the CPU fallback covers browsers without it.

If a laboratory does not open, the installation check verifies that every required file is present, served with the correct MIME type and matched to the expected release, and reports the specific file that is missing or misconfigured.
