Jack,
You bet it could!! This is the isotropic capacitor bit again. The
forces which would cause the motion are all coulombic. The forces are
real and viable. A number of scenarios involving space propulsion where
no matter is ejeced are under study at this time. This is the very
premise of the Electric Spacecraft Journal magazine. To investigate
these possiblilities. The Tesla coil has a great chance in this area.
