ABSTRACT: The purpose of this contribution
was to evaluate a recently published atom model for Helium, characterized by a
double rotation of the electrons which exhibit perpendicular rotation axes.
Thereby, each rotation is induced by the spin of one electron[1]. Hereto, a tangible
mechanical model was used which facilitated
to derive the mathematical formulae as the basics for two-dimensional projections, and—not least—for a digital animation yielding freeze images from different
perspectives. The resulting shape of the electron shell turned out to be not
spherical. In particular, the total velocity of the electrons is variable since
the relative running direction may change—in contrast to the initial assumption—, even leading to an intermittent standstill, and implying a variable
kinetic energy. Thus it can be concluded that this model describes a rotating rotor but not the Helium atom, and that it must be abandoned.
