Good Topic!
I haven't had time to fully read this thread, but it's a good topic that has been overlooked IMO. I tried to get people interested in the electric field a while back, but I guess I go about things in the wrong way. Anyways, the thread was titled, "Electrostatic charges in v x B fields: The Faraday disk and the rotating sphere". Not to distract from this thread, but you may find some good information there, which could be beneficial to this thread. Here's a short video demonstrating an interesting effect of the electric field and water. The Faraday's ice pail experiment has some really good information related to the electric field. Most are familiar with the Kelvin's water dropper generator, but I'll still make a reference here for those who may not be. I like what Schappeler said, "The static generates the dynamic".
Good topic!
