May 16, 2019 at 21:01 comment added Sebastian Riese @WillG That can easily be checked by estimated the radiated power.
May 16, 2019 at 20:58 comment added WillG @Sebastian Riese How about back-radiation emitted by the accelerated dipole?
May 16, 2019 at 20:58 comment added G. Smith Models of electrons as spinning shells of charge have been tried. They don't work.
