Energy visualization flow in the Virtual Reality environment using the particle system W.-G. Drossel, V. Wittstock, I. Dudarev, M. Schumann Difficult to imagine modern science without using graphs, charts or diagrams. They give the most complete picture of the processes. However, in the course of time methods for data representation are changing. Needless to say, different kinds of visualization are widely applied in various spheres such as education, computer entertainment, economics and business, industrial sector, etc. In the follow paper are described methods for visualization energy flow through the machine tools in the Virtual Reality environment and proposed new method, which is currently developing on the base of Particle System. Key words: energy visualization, particle system, Sankey diagram, Virtual Reality.
