Your "multiple wraps before reconnection" scheme makes sense Robin, indeed if the trajectory only repeats after several non-circular circuits the total length of which remains a multiple of the De Broglie wavelength, then no destructive self-interference occurs. If one admits such a possibility hydrinos become possible I guess. This might even be doable without violating present laws of physics, in the shape of classical precessing elliptical orbits repeating every so many orbits instead of Bohr's plain circular orbits.
