That crazy atomic picture sure did teach me a lot of things electromagnetism courses couldn't...
For instance, there is both an electrostatic and electric field within the atom at a time when there is obviously nothing static going on! Boy, Maxwell should be spinning in his grave for missing that. Spinning like an electron creating a dipole magnetic moment within an atom! (Sorry, bad joke). And like someone else said, if you're going to move electrons around and give them energy, you're going to have one hell of a time making them retain that energy.
Also... maybe this is me not reading the picture correctly, but are those electric fields behaving a lot like magnetic fields? I tend to think of an electric field as radiating... Unless those are equipotential lines, in which case they wouldn't have vectored direction, so I guess that's out.
There have beeen a lot of posts so far about this being just more vaporware, but how about some more posts explaining this is just pure BS? Neils Bohr may have been a smart guy, but his theories do nothing to solve the problems this guy "conquered".
PS: I think that they just used a picture of NaCl for their atom.
