At a conference a very good question was raised about the model: Can you use it to calculate orbital paths and reentry paths for spacecraft? The answer was no.
That brought up the utility the model then actually has as being an obstacle to more widespread adoption...
An electrical engineer, Frank Znidarsic, has elaborated interesting electrical characteristics of the atom whereby Plancks constant can be calculated. His theory and equations are mostly classical Neutonian as well. Perhaps you might be as entertained by his theory as I was.
PS, the video content seems to have been taken down. If I can find them elsewhere I'll post.
