Analysis of tubes filled with charged electron gas

TL;DR

This paper critically examines the feasibility of tubes filled with charged electron gas, demonstrating that current materials cannot support such structures due to electrostatic and electron repulsion effects.

Contribution

It provides a theoretical analysis showing the physical limitations preventing the creation of electron-filled tubes as previously proposed.

Findings

Outer surface charges cancel electrostatic pressure

Electrons are confined to the outer shell due to repulsion

Such tubes are not feasible with current materials

Abstract

We show that tubes filled with electron gas, as presented by A.Bolonkin, are not possible with current materials. First, the pressure of the charges on the outer surface cancel almost all of the electrostatic pressure of the inner electrons. Second, due to the mutually repulsion most of the electrons are in the outmost shell of the tube and not individually free.
