why do you say that? if you are not sure know what i am doing, how do
you know what its grounded or not grounded in?

you saw the flames' presence increased the foil pyramids' spin. when i
bring a lit cigarette to this unit, it also spins, however when air is
drawn through the lit cigarette, it works as an accelerator would, it
spins faster. now, understanding that the suction action increases the
combustion rate of the cigarette, as well as the incomplete combustion
rate, ie charged ions, kindly answer me how this action is achieved by
simply "demonstrating an electrostatic field".

a) you can't
b) because the electric field, like gravity, is still up for grabs.
c) if you disagree with b), please submit your paper to Stockholm, the
world is awaiting your answer Oh Lord of Physics.

(ie please explain how a spinning dielectric reduces electrostatic
attraction between charged plates- Roentgens' dilemma. if you don't
know what this is, please do not submit your paper to Stockholm.)
