A computer graphic investigation of a possible mechanism for the origin of planetary motion

Project Overview |
Computer visualizations have been made of the predicted motion of a
"prospective planet" ejected from the surface of the sun under the
influence of gravitational, electrostatic and magnetic forces. In general,
such a planet ends up falling back into the sun. However, if a planet
is ejected at the suns equator, it is possible to obtain an circular orbit
like path around the sun for a particular value of the sun's magnetic field.
