Of special interest, Michel is when the radioactive nucleus ejects an electron in Beta minus decay, or absorbs a K shell electron. In order to fit into the nuclear (neutron) diameter hc/(0.33*Eneutron) from it's rest diameter hc/(Ee-) it has to shrink by as much as 600 times it's rest diameter. The opposite occurs for positron (Beta +) emission. My approach on this is to treat mvr = h/2(pi) of the electron and the three "loops/disk" particles in the proton as interacting "electromagnetic flywheels" that share energy/mass and change diameter through electromagnetic energy exchange, thus conserving energy and momentum. Mechanically analogous to coupling a stationary flywheel to one that is rotating. > > It seems to me the warped washer or torus shape only makes sense when > orbiting around a nucleus, where it would nicely replace a location > probability distribution for a point charge by a continuous charge cloud of > the same shape and density distribution. A good point, but remember that the electron diameter ~ 2.436e-12 meters is about 22 times smaller than the 5.29e-11 meter Bohr Radius giving it room for rattling around. > > A worm or corkscrew shape might be > more universal as it could go straight when flying across a CRT tube, and > curve itself around its orbit when orbiting. 20 to 30 KeV energy in a CRT pales in comparison to the 510 KeV rest mass/energy of the electron.

The classical visualization based on solar system models doesn't square with the moment of inertia ( I ) doesn't fit mvr = h/2(pi) = (I)* 2(pi)f Although close, not close enough if you're a purest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia Best Fred > > Michel > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Frederick Sparber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2006 7:33 PM > Subject: Re: Toroidal electron > > > > Michel Jullian writes. > >> > >> A question, what does the torus or washer shape turn into once the > > electron > >> breaks free of its nucleus? > > > > It should retain it's "shape" as evidenced by smashing into the > > phosphor of your TV picture tube over and over, Michel. >
