When this was first mentioned in 2010, I wrote to Lawandy suggesting that dielectric breakdown could be a problem. I cc'd vortex at the time, so my messages should be in the archives. The dates are 4-7 July 2010. The subject was: "Interactions of charged particles on surfaces". I still don't think his theory is realistic (see in particular my post of 7 July.)
