ABSTRACT: In a recently published paper the thermal radiative behaviour of Helium, which had been reported already in 2016, was quantum-mechanically explained using a planar atom model with well-defined electron trajectories. Thereby, in order to describe the metastable excited constellation of the electrons in the Helium atom which enables the thermal radiation exchange, an eccentric asymmetric harmonic oscillator was adduced comprising the orbits of the two diametrically positioned electrons. It could be connected with the kinetic behaviour of the Helium-atoms, thus bridging quantum mechanics with thermodynamics. However, a number of significant computation errors have since been identified, which were corrected. Several points of the recently published paper could be herewith cleared and revised. In particular, the deflection distances, which are relevant for the used eccentric asymmetric oscillator, could be precisely computed, as well as the oscillation energy of the electrons which was consistent in the total deflection energy. Moreover, the theorem of momentum which must be fulfilled in order to bridge the electronic oscillation and the thermal motion could be modified in such a way that all results are compatible. Beyond that, a solution was found in order to implement the law of energy conservation which had been neglected so far, namely by application of the modulo-rule leading to lower partial oscillation energies. Moreover, a direct concordance was found between the electromagnetic radiation and the electronic oscillation, excluding the previously used Einstein relation for the photoelectric effect.
