We find the maximum speed we can shoot electrons at a specific point on the coil in the cube polywell with them still being deflected.
Here we keep the current (1600A) and coil radius (0.3m) constant but vary coil cross-section radius (WR).
We shoot electrons from the middle of the systems towards the middle of a coil body at the position where coils are space d the closest in the cube polywell.
Spacing between coils was kept at 1cm. Round and rectangular cross-section shapes were emulated through a shaped 8x8 matrix of rings of current but the coils were covered by virtual round shell (of the same size for all configurations) that caught the electrons. No electric fields were present.
