Once it is downloaded, you may save it to your hard drive or run it from its current location.  Once the file is open, simply click the gray "Simulate" button and the display begins.  Below is an explanation of the terms used on the model.    

1. E_o is field of the earth due to electrons.
2. E_o is field of the earth due to positive charges.
3. Charges on surface of the earth (+ or -) is indicative of whether the earth’s magnetic field is normal or reversed.
4. White small rectangle indicates the relative strength of the magnetic field.
5. Grey small rectangle is an on-off switch to be operated by the mouse.
6. Grey large rectangle is the time line from approximately 13 million years ago to approximately 4 million years into the future.
7. E_o + E_o is the vector sum of two fields. Examples: ((+6) + (-6)) = 0 or ((+1) + (-1)) = 0 or ((+5) + (-3)) = + 2.
8. If E_o = E_o = 0 then that implies that the rotational rate of earth is zero.
9. If electrons were to move out to the surface of the earth, then the relative motion between observer on earth and electrons is zero resulting in zero magnetic fields due to electrons.
10. Electrons can move through solids, liquids, and gases.
11. Radius of electron is 5.29 x 10^-11 meter.
12. Radius of atom is approximately 0.5 x 10^-8 meter.

Positive charges are (0.5 x 10^-8) / (.529 x 10^-12) = .9 x 10⁴ times larger then electrons or 9000 times larger. Therefore positive charges are not free to move in solids or liquids (unless the liquids or solids move).

Speed along the time line is increased by inserting 5 in the white rectangle on bottom left, by inserting 500 the time line is decreased.  Normal operation is with 100.  Changes should be made before start of operation.
