In this article we study periodic orbits of an electron attracted by a proton subject to Lorentz, electric, and Euler forces where each of them is allowed to depend periodically on time. This setup is motivated by the elliptic restricted three-body-problem where the Lorentz force corresponds to Coriolis force, the Coulomb force is replaced by the gravitational force, and the electric force of an external source is a combination of centrifugal forces and gravitational forces of other bodies. This is a singular version of a Euler-Hamilton system as discussed in [FW26b]. The singularity is due to collisions of the electron with the proton, respectively of two masses. Due to the possibility of collisions this problem has to be regularized.We show how periodic collisional solutions of this problem can be detected variationally in a non-local Lagrangian setup as well as in a non- local Hamiltonian setup.
