I've made a simulator for a betatron.
an old type of particle accelerator that uses the electric field induced by a strong changing magnetic field to accelerate electrons to over 6MeV.
the line is the trajectory of an electron and its color is the energy.
the crazy thing is that you could potentially build this in your garage as it is cheap and easy to make (probably ~3000€ budget) and it would start pumping out extremely powerful x rays
it was tuned by hand lol
