The visualization of the paths of the vortex rings looks mimetically like electron orbitals

• goldenkey 3y ago
  That's because the orbitals are the consequence of spherical harmonic interference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_harmonics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_harmonics

    Does that mean you can shoot 8 electrons and create a contained ball of electromagnetic turbulence?

      Electrons would just strongly scatter. You would probably need a charge distribution that produces an EM field which looks like the vortex rings. I forget how the analogy for fluid systems works, I think you have to make Poynting vector <-> pressure vector for the math to look similar? Not sure if that would work exactly but you can definitely make a ball of EM turbulence.
