Dave Bergman developed and published (in 1990) the Spinning Ring model of elementary particles. Charge near the surface of the thin ring rotates at the speed of light.
This was the first physical model of particles that agreed with all the experimental data. The model requires fewer assumptions than the quantum model of particles. Unlike the quantum model, the new model is a physical model, and it is free of self- contradictions.
The ring model not only accounts for characteristics of the electron but also works for the proton, positron and the antiproton (with different size, mass, etc.). A single model is successful for all known stable charged elementary particles. The charge on the ring is held in place by the magnetic pinch force which balances the strong Coulomb force.

A: An electron is comprised of one unit of negative electrical charge. A proton is comprised of one unit of positive electrical charge. The CSS model of these particles proposes a distinct, finite-size structure associated with the charge, in the form of a ring.
Q: What keeps an electron from expanding due to the force of its negative charge acting upon itself?
A: The ring electron appears to be stationary, but its charge is spinning, that is, the charge is flowing around the ring at the speed of light. The resulting magnetic field is stationary though, because, since the loop is closed, there is always the same amount of charge flowing at the same rate at every point around the ring. This motion of the charge creates a magnetic field that causes a “pinch effect” that holds the electron together. Because the field is stationary, or static, it does not radiate energy unless the electron's position or orientation changes.
Q: What is the radius of a spinning charged ring electron and how is it determined?
A: The radius of a free electron (one that is not close to another charged particle) is 3.87 x 10-13 meters. Based on the CSS model of the electron as a ring, the electron's size can be derived from the it’s magnetic moment using a simple formula for magnetic moments. The geometry of the ring then allows us to easily calculate the free electron's radius based on its measured magnetic moment (a well known and commonly accepted value).
Q: How can an electron fit inside the nucleus of an atom, since the nucleus is much smaller than the size of a free electron?
A: The size of an electron depends on where it is and what forces are acting on it. When an electron comes close to other particles, the electromagnetic fields from these particles are strong enough to compress the electron. The CSS model of elementary particles provides a means to calculate the forces on the electron and it's resulting size.
