  We present solutions of coupled particle-field evolution in classical U(1)
and SU(2) gauge theories in real time on three-dimensional lattices. For
strongly anisotropic particle momentum distributions, we find qualitatively
different behavior for the two theories when the field strength is high enough
that non-Abelian self-interactions matter for SU(2). It appears that the energy
drained by a Weibel-like plasma instability from the particles does not build
up exponentially in transverse magnetic fields but instead returns,
isotropically, to the hard scale via a rapid avalanche into the ultraviolet.
