If your model requires EM waves to bounce off of
each other, it doesn't represent reality. What
you may be seeing is the case where destructive
interference in one direction has to equal constructive
interference in the other direction. This is simple
wave cancellation, not bouncing.

My model requires nothing of EM waves, in-so-far-as
it is completely described in terms of charge. Just
the basics for current flow.
