For a post about visualization, there are surprisingly few graphics in the article. Perhaps they want us to read and visualize, but I was disappointed to be frank.

The video was decent, but lacks depth.

How do electrons with different occupied shells interact, how does this mesh with our existing model?

What analogy fits this model for resistance? Capacitance? Are these electrons spinning on an axis with friction, or something?

How does this model play with RF electrodynamics? Are there similar constructs for the orthogonal magnetic plane?

The list of questions surely goes on...

Thanks. Yes I think those are great questions that the model (shell-shell contact momentum transfer) can address. All aspects of the existing mathematical description can be built into the shell-contact model but will require serious updates to our animation skills. That being said, I hope we can accomplish those details later. Magnetism, light, and gravity are next on the list, however.

Resistance is inability to conduct; so orbitals are not charged (with a CW or CCW cohesion) on balance. Electricity acting on these non-polarized surfaces leads to heat.

Capacitance has to do with the induction of voltage during separation by an insulator.

Electron spinning is a bit of a simplification; the real concept is angular momentum. In reality it is impossible to deconvolve the contribution of speed and trajectory from momentum. Ideally instead of fast rotating shells as charged, we should animate cohesive motion as well as speed, but that is beyond our present abilities.

RF will come with videos on light later.

Thank you for the comments! Stay tuned.

> Each pair of polar surfaces within an orbital is able to productively contact neighboring atoms.

I have no idea what to visualize for "productively" contacting neighbors in this model.

imagine your car's gear box when you put the thing into drive.

yeah, you have to read too. that's a visual process though. did u watch the entire vid?

Yep, sorry. Read my second comment under this thread.
