I think I may have come up with an experiment that could verify my
theory and invalidate classical EM (or vice versa). According to a
computer simulation I wrote to test the experiment, there should be a
measurable difference between the predictions of classical EM and my theory.

The experiment involves directing two electron beams toward each other
at an angle. Here is a crude diagram of the experiment.

In the simulation, I considered two isolated electrons, instead of two
electron beams, first using my non-relativistic force equations from

http://www.softcom.net/users/der555/actreact.pdf

and then using the Lorentz force law, to calculate the forces on the
particles. It appears that, from the computer simulation, the shapes of
the trajectories of the particles are measurably different, for the two
cases, with the apex of my curve being measurably further along the
x-axis than the classical apex. I don't know if a valid correlation can
be made between two electrons and two electron beams, but I don't really
know how to do the calculation for two beams.

If someone has a way to compute the trajectories of the two electron
beams from the Lorentz force law (or from my force law), I would
appreciate some help in getting a more accurate theoretical prediction
for the shape of the trajectories and the x-position of the apex
according to the Lorentz force law and according to my force law. These
predictions can then be compared with experimental results.

Since I don't have the equipment or the experimental skills,
unfortunately, I'm unable to carry out the experiment myself. But, at
least, the numbers would be there if someone wants to do the experiment.

I would appreciate any help, thanks.
