Description
FULL VIEW RECOMMENDED!!! LOTS OF DETAIL!Fusion, for those of you who don't know, is the merging of two hydrogen atoms into a helium atom. As they merge, they release an enourmous amount of energy. This energy is what fuels the stars, and is believed to be the ultimate source of power. Scientists are currently studying how to take that energy and harness it into a clean and reliable power source, which is a good idea considering the only pollution which would come from it is water vapor and helium, and hydrogen isn't exactly in short supply. The only problem is that the power is so vast that it is uncontrollable.
Scientists are working on Cold Fusion, or a controlled energy extraction from the fusing of two hydrogen atoms. That is what I based the fractal on; I like to think of the red line as the extraction, and the blue line as the stabilizer to avoid energy surges.

Fusion is sustained by combining deuterium and tritium isotopes under extreme pressure. Transforming into energy, neutrons, and helium atoms.
Water, which is two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. Cannot be a product or a requirement to nuclear fusion, which it is on the nuclear level. Hinting that only nuclear bonds would be affected.
Oxygen and hydrogen gas when mixed and lit produce water. Which is a chemical reaction.
Regarding harnessed fusion, well. Only I have the power of stars.

This is my personal favourite of yours. It's a very strong image, it has a lot of energy and colouring that goes well with the fusion concept. Well done.

Cryogenics is cool (forgive the pun), but this one definitely speaks to me more. I love the shapes and the hues definitely burn through...

I'm loving it, the colors and the background.It all just melts into one another and makes this great piece.

I can definately see the power in this image. Kinda reminds me of the Eye of Sauron from LOTR.

Wow! That's insanely cool. And it's good to see one of these pics where the artist types up more than, "..." for their description. I hate that. Anyways, + Fav ahoy!

Simply staring at this..struck dumb. Good description!

looks as though the material is being blasted into what i think would be a thin layer of neutrons, reminds me of when stars collaps, awesome!

One very intense fractal. You've certainly captured the energy

I'm guessing the top atom is a seperate layer with a different gradient. My only question is what formula did you use (did you write it yourself)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually both "atoms" are the same gradient and coloring algorithm. However, they consist of more than one layer, each with a different algorithm. The only part that is separate is the blue line, and for that I had to make a mask so that it would only show in the top atom.
In any case, I think I know what coloring algorithm you're looking for. Cuchulain in ifb.ucl located in the Public folder (make sure you're public formulas are updated). Also note that this is an interior coloring algorithm, not an exterior, meanining I applied it in the Inside tab. And from there, I just messed with other layers, tweaked the merge settings and transparencies, etc.
Also, the formula for the fractal is Mandelbrot Lambda in fractint.ufm located in the Compatibility folder.

Very interesting, I'd never explored the Public Coloring algorithms before. In any case, nice work.

Oh man this is great...I like how the upper atom appears to be a cross section of the bottom one (to me at least)

Hello! Thats fantastic! I'm sorry, but what is Fractal Drawing? I see some similar stuff to this and it's called fractal. So clould you help me out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fractals are things that are completely based on mathematical formulas. They are, in essence, the same image repeated over and over again to infinity.
Fractal art takes these formulas and applies coloring, positioning, and rotation to them in order to create a beautiful image. This is done using a variety of programs available on the internet. For this fractal, I used a program called Ultra Fractal.
Fractal art is fairly simple to learn, but takes a lifetime to master. Also, there are millions of formula combinations, meaning that when you start making a fractal, you really have no clue what will happen, so you might as well just go with the flow.
I hope this answers your question (I might have overdone it).
