Interactive Demo

Experience the power of PROTEUS through interactive demonstrations and live simulations.

Live Simulations

Earth Evolution Demo

Watch Earth’s atmosphere and interior evolve over 4.5 billion years:

# Interactive Earth simulation
earth = proteus.Planet()
earth.setup_earth_like()
earth.evolve_interactive()

Features:

• Real-time visualization
• Parameter adjustment
• Evolution timeline
• Data export

Exoplanet Explorer

Explore different exoplanet scenarios:

# Custom exoplanet simulation
exoplanet = proteus.Planet()
exoplanet.mass = 2.0  # Earth masses
exoplanet.radius = 1.3  # Earth radii
exoplanet.stellar_distance = 0.8  # AU
exoplanet.evolve()

Parameters to Explore:

• Planet mass and radius
• Stellar distance and type
• Initial atmospheric composition
• Interior structure

Interactive Tools

Parameter Slider Interface

Adjust simulation parameters in real-time:

• Planet Mass: 0.1 - 10 Earth masses
• Stellar Distance: 0.1 - 10 AU
• Atmospheric Pressure: 0.01 - 1000 bar
• Surface Temperature: 100 - 2000 K

Visualization Controls

• 3D Planet View: Rotate and zoom planet models
• Evolution Timeline: Scrub through simulation time
• Data Plots: Interactive temperature, pressure, and composition plots
• Comparison Mode: Side-by-side planet comparisons

Demo Scenarios

Habitable Zone Exploration

Investigate planets in different habitable zone positions:

1. Inner Edge: Hot, potentially runaway greenhouse
2. Center: Earth-like conditions
3. Outer Edge: Cold, potential snowball states

Atmospheric Escape

Study atmospheric loss mechanisms:

• Hydrodynamic Escape: Early planetary evolution
• Jeans Escape: Thermal atmospheric loss
• Impact Erosion: Collisional atmospheric removal
• Stellar Wind: Stellar activity effects

Interior Evolution

Explore planetary interior dynamics:

• Core Formation: Metallic core development
• Mantle Convection: Heat transfer and mixing
• Volatile Cycling: Water and gas exchange
• Magnetic Field: Dynamo generation and evolution

Tutorial Simulations

Beginner Tutorial

Step 1: Create a simple planet

planet = proteus.Planet()
planet.setup_basic()

Step 2: Run a short simulation

results = planet.evolve(time_steps=100)

Step 3: Visualize results

planet.plot_evolution()

Advanced Tutorial

Custom Module Development:

class CustomAtmosphere(proteus.Atmosphere):
    def evolve(self, dt):
        # Custom evolution logic
        self.temperature += self.heating_rate * dt
        return super().evolve(dt)

For Developers

The time is now for it to be okay to be great. People in this world shun people for being great. For being a bright color. For standing out. But the time is now.

For Designers

There’s nothing I really wanted to do in life that I wasn’t able to get good at. That’s my skill. I’m not really specifically talented at anything except for the ability to learn.

For Beginners

That’s what I do. That’s what I’m here for. Don’t be afraid to be wrong because you can’t learn anything from a compliment. If everything I did failed - which it doesn't.
