Fine post, Jerry !
My guess is we need to study the fields present in the space between those two
metal plates to get some new idea on how extract energy from them.
When the plates are charged, the air ( the dielectric ) is "compressed" by the
electric field.
At some voltage level, that "compressed air" will break and we'll get a spark.
So, what if we could "drain" the field between the plates in some way that this
"pressure" won't be raised to the spark level ?
