This is a very exciting field, more specifically in combination with asymmetric capacitors.
Exodus Propulsion [0] under NASA’s lead scientist of electrostatics, Dr Charles Buhler and his team have been observing some very puzzling and exciting results. Would recommend anyone interested in this to check this out.

As far as I know they are still trying to piece together the underlying physics, but they are 10 years in and 1000s of experiments later, some of which has been reproduced.

High voltage is a weird and fun area of electronics that a lot of geeks get into via building Tesla coils. Ive built a few HV things including a few tesla coils (pro-tip: a caulk tube makes a great baby secondary) and a can crusher with a 14uF 40kV pulse capacitor. I also briefly built a small 10x Cockcroft–Walton generator using the neon sign transformer from my Tesla coil but the caps failed rather quickly from abuse.

Looks like a collection of dead links? (didn't try all of them)
Too bad, the title sounded interesting

THIS is the 90s internet at it's finest.
I spent way too much time on this site as a kid....No surprise that now, in my 30s, I'm an electronics technician for a music store.
