Fine — prove it. Show the trajectory has the right angular momentum, and/or devise an experiment to test it.

Yes. Well I have devised several types of trajectories. I have built some experiments to demonstrate the principles of the proposed phenomenon, I have done some of the maths And as I mentioned a few posts ago , that I would try to put it together. Which I will, provided I do not get run over by a bus, or end up in concrete wellington boots..

First Experiment:-

post-33514-0-40541500-1367355713_thumb.jpg

The purpose of this experiment conducted in 1970's and put to patent agent was devised to see if it were possible to arrange, and see if , centrifugal force could be ' rectified' [ as in the case of a.c. voltage waves being rectified to produce unsmoothed d.c. voltage wave.

At the time this was discussed with Professor Laithwait of Imperial College London . Laithwait himself was working on linear induction motors since used for magnetic elevated railway systems. His activity with Gyroscopes and Centrifugal force attracted criticism . He has since Died.

From the above ONE of the aspects that came out of the experiment :-

1, The tuning fork converged ALWAYS to a balanced anti phase condition of self stimulating oscillation.

Namely the only way the system would behave in a non tethered state was as one arm of the tuning fork moved say to the left ...the other arm would move to the right. exactly in anti phase.

I now view this as a model for two electrons in an inner orbit or energy band having opposite spin . As the natural , only way that the dual system can exist. as per the arms of the non tethered tuning fork.

In fact any of the pairs of electrons in higher energy bands. Not in a tuning fork configuration , but in the way that vibrating/oscillating systems when coupled ' like ' to work in opposite pairs.

This was not the only result that came from this model.

Unless the experiment uses actual electrons in atomic orbitals, I don't see how this shows what you were claiming. We already know that macroscopic/classical physics does not behave like QM, so a classical experiment sheds no light on how QM systems behave.

I would like to further progress the development of the spin model

 

Before I do that , I would like to explain a little of the setting and purpose behind the tuning fork experiment, as the paired electron model was not the initial purpose of the tuning fork experiment. The electron pair model was an offshoot of the experiment. [ you never know what you will find until you look over the edge. ]

I have two times spent university study into electronics ( First in the 1960's Brunell University London 3 years ) ( Second in the 1990's/2000's University Plymouth/Salford 4 years ) Each time with horrendous Maths and Electron Energy Band Theory . I think both have left me with Brain Damage.

 

However, when I was out in the big wide world, working and thinking , I got to think about how if adding a quantified amount of energy to an electron could move an electron to a higher energy band ( just by inputting ENERGY ) Why could we not do the same with Macro matter , although I don't remember the use of "Macro" then . So Move BIG STUFF into a higher orbit. Well of course it was all the rage then. Missiles, Rockets, Nassa Men on the moon. I worked on missiles a bit, but changed and ended up in the hardware computer business, which itself went up and down like rockets.

I set myself the task, to one side from the Day Job , to thinking on this matter of :

 

Inputting Energy into Big Matter as the BIG or MACRO version of

Inputting energy into the MICRO electrons to put into Higher Energy Bands ORBITALS.

 

Although there is much debate about electrons, what they are and where they are, They must be out there somewhere further away from the Nucleus than inner electrons as they are the ones that make Molecules, conduct electricity, etc ( and stick static electrified balloons to ceilings ) So they are put there by energy usually by Electro- Magnetic Wave Energy. . Why? i said to myself,can we not do the same with Big Stuff MACRO . like Human size.

 

I did the maths and it came out at 40,000 hz with a peak to peak amplitude of approx 4 inches ( 10 cm or 100mm) . I laughed myself into a drain. It made Elvis Presley's " I'm All shook up" look like a ride in the park. .

 

However I did start the patent root to the bewilderment of my patent agent.. Although the Giroscope root was/is a way of getting oscillatory energy into matter , the energy is trapped inside the rotating , dare I say it 'spinning' mass. If you have ever tried to pick up a large spinning gyroscope you can clearly feel the difference in System contents ( between a spinning and non spinning gyroscope).

 

How to get the energy out of this inertial system . It was clearly put in . How to get the energy out to change to a higher orbit.

 

Enter the Tuning Fork : Remember the sums we are. talking 40,000 Hz peak to peak top of each prong 4 inches (10 cm - 100mm ).

 

Man , that would have been one mean Tuning fork .

The experiment which came to shed light on electron behavior was derived from a mechanical model but directly emanating an electron .

 

Firstly to investigate the sort of vibrations that could be applied to electrons in energy format ( but in a mechanical model. ) I set up the following apparatus.

.

Then a sweep of frequencies produced Standing waves around the circular orbit . The circle was a solid steel wire , supported between soft springs. So the springs were not vibrating merely supporting the circular orbital wire .

What's the angular momentum here? I thought this was a model of spin.

We are getting towards it ! But you and I know this is at the moment more like the Bohr model . ( Planets going round the Sun ) . There are two Steps to go.

 

Step 1 Rather than a single wire, Because the electron is travelling pretty dam fast, we are talking about , effectively a surface,

 

 

post-33514-0-02485400-1368568746_thumb.jpg

 

STEP 2 A second surface tracked out by a second electron , going exactly in the opposite direction

 

post-33514-0-45357300-1368569640_thumb.jpg

 

You might say why would they end up opposing each other. The same reason in a much simpler way ,that the tuning fork does. ( Attraction and repulsion ) [ they converge into a steady state. producing the first complete shell of the first orbital.

 

Just like the little magnets kids throw into the air as a pair ( they go ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.........)

 

Or a double dumbel toy .

 

post-33514-0-67126000-1368570486_thumb.jpg

 

So each electron of a pair of electrons will generate angular momentum as part of a partial arc .

 

 

[ I believe the electrons are confined to their orbitals by the principles that dictate the Shroeniger wave equation .based on electrical and magnetic fields.]

Even for hydrogen?

No ! But thats why they want to be H2 . My Chemistry is not red hot . But i thought thats partly what makes elements reactive is rogue single charges . ( they tend to want to be TWO's . they want to be together ! )

H2 is spherical?

 

Probably more like this -

 

link http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hydrogen_Density_Plots.png

 

This is where the

"Mold , goal " idea kicks in . things, electrons are flying around in probability mode trapped within the mold no formula just mold !

 

Once going above a simply one variable like length. Wave motion gets difficult to calculate.( unless you are Sheoneger or some one .)

 

However it is my belief that atoms are not working from formulas , rather formulae are derived in an attempt to model what is there. If what is there is complex (to us ) in behavior , it might not be difficult at the Electron level. A couple of electrons might well be buzzing around their fields environment, like bees in a bottle, avoiding the bottle sides and each other by simple REPULSION yet, when settling down , into a complex yet pretty ,symmetrical pattern as link pictures above.

 

The two or more ( as the case may be ) electrons are in the mold TRAPPED until their next exploites when exited away from their host nucleus or energy band.

 

In the mechanical model I started with wires vibrating in single length ( all be it a circle ) its like upgrading to hitting a Spherical Gong . The wave patterns become very complex looking , however do settle down to complex beautiful , symmetrical patterns.

LOOK at Coloured Picture Half way down this paper Link BELOW :- ......... webistem ...............acoustics ,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Then Look at 4: 3:1 in the atom orbital in Link ABOVE ............commons ..............hydrogen density ..............

-

One is a GONG the other is electrons in orbitals ! Surely the model is a good model !

From above link paper .......acoustics.2008..........

 

Table 3 shows an almost perfect agreement between calculated and measured

eigenfrequencies except for the lowest axisymmetric mode. This effect might be due to the
presence of the magnet (0.5 g) glued at the center of the shell. However, more systematic
experiments and calculations are needed here in order to validate this assumption.

"Might well be" doesn't feed the bulldog, as they say. Either you have a model that explains what we observe, or you don't.

Wonderful. Now explain why the math behind those patterns explains electron spin, or atomic orbitals. When we solve the Schrödinger equation, we get the orbitals you linked to earlier; that's the solution of an electrostatic central potential. A mechanism within the framework of a model. It makes predictions about the energy and angular momentum states of the Hydrogen atom that are actually observed.

 

You have to do as well with whatever model you want to present. Presenting some pretty pictures doesn't come close.

Well I wanted to get the principle of the model (TF) in place, so that a discussion could follow about : {Model (TF ) see below}

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

a) orbital Angular momentum of the electron

 

b) characteristic or intrinsic spin as an extra angular momentum , and magnetic moment..

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

As of yet I have not discussed the actual Spin of the electron in the model (TF) form . [ ( TF =Tuning Fork model)]

 

 

Tuning fork is not to be taken literally . It represents two masses oscillating in anti-phase mode based on mutual ( attraction) and/or ( repulsion )

Well it keeps buzzing around the shell or probability orbital in the way we currently understand it to do.

I only ever happened on the single to dual tuning fork phenomenon when I was trying to create vibration with a single rod without a grounding base.

 

So I tried the large hand built tuning fork working at 60-100 hz. It came to life like a beauty .

 

This one NOT dependent on a ground or base. .as illustrated below.

When I moved to designing a possible system to work without the cross piece it reduced to :-

 

post-33514-0-43306600-1368736137_thumb.jpg

 

Which gave me the possible thought, that could electrons possibly work in pairs within the energy bands. They appeared to prefer to work in opposing pairs ( different spin states Pauli exclusion ).

 

Remember I wanted to do this out in the big wide world , in the atmosphere and in space . ( Still do )

However the numbers are quite quite large. but exciting none the less. THERE IS NO NEED TO MOVE AROUND IN ORBIT.

Similarly with the electrons . ( Partial arc can be sufficient )

Here we have the problem of trying to solve a very narrow problem — a two-electron system, i.e. Helium. But if your model doesn't work for hydrogen, i.e. for one electron, it doesn't work. When the jigsaw puzzle piece fits for the first tab but not the second, you stop trying to fit it into the puzzle — it's the wrong piece. Continuing to sit there and admire how well the first tab fits doesn't get the puzzle done.

In other words, single electrons or holes in atomic shells , are mis-fits , jigsaws or uncomfortable on their own, and sort of 'seek' complimentary pieces to fit with, by reacting and making molecules .

That's a separate issue. Again, you need to explain all of the behavior, not just a few parts of it. A model that explains bonding but fails to accurately explain some other behavior is wrong. Failures have to be outside the scope of the model. Failures inside are fatal.

But , maybe this business of electrons on their own is not a problem , but pivotal as Bonding is everything , whether Ionic or covalent the universe would not be here without it . I can not pretend to know fully what is going on , as I am not a Chemist. I wish I was , as it appears to be all about the building up of the materials of matter for all the important things of life. . But free electrons seems a very important requirement to facilitate matter . I do not mean electrons outside the atom , but inside. However I do accept your point about correct function of the model. Have to work on that .

 

Let me deal with intrinsic spin of individual electrons in the context of the model I am putting forward. . Maybe the issue of single electrons will resolve itself .

 

It is interesting a single electron has been filmed with a quantum strobascope

In keeping with the principle of the tuning fork ( of opposite direction oscillating entities, being a self sustaining system ) . Perhaps we can look for a similar device within the electron to produce

. spin , angular momentum, magnetic moment, charge.

 

In my original mechanical model with the tuning fork

post-33514-0-05038200-1368735705_thumb.j

 

 

There are ,( despite the crude looking diagram), and indeed in the actual device interesting Oscillating electrical, fields,Magnetic fields, antiphase and 90 degree phase shifts, as well as two mechanical movements of an oscillating nature in opposite directions.

 

As this provides the ingredients ( at least ) for a micro device having

 

. spin , angular momentum, magnetic moment, charge.

 

All we need to look at is what goes where and how . We also have a possible picture above from Sweden What it looks like slowed down.

Looks a bit like the one from Sweden as well . Well sort of ELECTRON .

 

 

We already have examples how the Electro- magnetic system works.

 

To produce a Magnetic moment. Moving charge in the center of the earth ( outer molten core ) produces a magnetic moment North pole south pole. And so with the spinning electron charge

 

To Produce a Charge. Michael Faraday's last experiment showed if you have a spinning disc in a magnetic field you will generate a continuous electrical potential from circumference to center point

 

Angular momentum comes from the two opposing Spins generating a 720 degree total displacement

If this is physical spinning, how fast does the charge have to move and how big is it?

This doesn't produce a charge. It produces a potential because already-existing charges (in the disc) rearrange themselves.

I think all these things are here in principle. The maths may take a little longer.
