Actually, I have no problem with "magnetic lines of force" interacting at right angles to the average current direction for a number of reasons.
 
First, do magnetic lines of force exist?  It is simply a method of visualizing a magnetic field.  If you think about it, the lines of force visualization came about by observing iron filings in a magnetic field.  Like any ferromagnetic material these filings create their own magnetic field which increases the net field inside the material and decreases the field outside the material.  Thus, the filings would form lines with respect to the net external magnetic field.
 
Second, how does magnetism arise?  A magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge.  Since all particles have a spin component, they would respond to an outside force in much the same fashion as a gyroscope, with a resultant motion at right angles to the force.
 
Third, the net field is apparently at right angles to the AVERAGE motion of the electrons.  No particle ever moves in a straight line "unless it acts in a vacuum".
 
I have had some thoughts about electricity and magnetism over the years and have decided that there is more to the observed effects than the theories account for.  When I get an actual unified concept of electromagnetism down I'll let you know, but untill then I will continue to look at EM effects from a slightly different angle.
 
BTW does anybody know where I can get Bismuth of decent purity relatively cheap?  I need it for an experiment with diamagnetic effects.  If possible bismuth wire would be ideal.

Interestingly enough the solenoid is a very well known
precedent for this, i.e. a current-carrying coil of wire that
acts like a magnet when a current passes through it.

.........It has long struck
me that magnetic flow lines cannot be at right angles
electric flow lines. In short, we must have the same
situation as in a ring vortex with a spiral helical
flow around a axial orbital flow. Thingees at right
angles don't interact coz there's no resolved
component to drive the minor flow along.
