" we propose the following animation: Electricity as surface-to-surface rotational gearing between electron-shells on atoms (see movie below). "

That's not the mechanism for ordinary electrical conduction in metals. In my opinion the resulting visualization is very misleading.

EDIT: I recommend the excellent Hyperphysics web site. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/ohmmic.h
