What causes the Electrostatic Force?
The electrostatic force is due to what is called 'Bjerknes forces' as
described in the paper.

In summary, two spheres pulsing in phase will repel each other with
1/r^2 and two sphere out of phase will attract with 1/r^2 in a
compressible medium. The original paper calculates for incompressible
medium, but it has been shown to work with compressible medium. This
has been shown mathematically and experimentally. Atomic particles are
pulsating spheres with proton pulsing in one phase and electrons
pulsing 180 degress out of phase with the protons. This is a simple
mechanical explanation for how basic electrostatic attraction works
and can be demonstrated on a macroscopic scale. The source of energy
for this pulsing comes from ambient thermal energy. The atomic
particles act like bells which when struck, ring at a specific
frequency and phase. Like a bell, no matter how many times or how
randomly you strike the bell, it can only get so loud an continues to
ring at the same frequency. However, I cannot explain how all protons
would ring at the same phase. So the energy to hold proton/electron
together forever does come from the random thermal energy being
transformed in to a very specific frequency and phase. The energy to
hold proton/electron doesn't come from nowhere, it comes from the
environment. A testable prediction would be that if you cooled a
proton or electron to absolute zero, it would loose its charge. Since
magnetisim is a form of electrostatic force (according to my model),
another prediction would be if you took a permanent magnet and cooled
it to absolute zero, it would loose its magnetisim.
