The 3M model 703 static electric field measurement gun can measure the
magnitude and polarity of a static field.They use a 200 millicurie tritium
source and a high resistance circuit to do the measurement. The tritium
source is used as an ionization source. It runs off of two 9V batteries
In the lexicon of physical devices is an item called an electret.
Commercially these are used in capacitive microphones.
The common ones consist of polymer sheet that has been annealed in a voltage
gradient.
An accidental example is the swarf from methyl methacrylate (Perspex,
Plexiglass) which w
A method in use 40+ odd years ago for measuring atmospheric electric fields was
to use a slotted rotating disk rather than the rotating cylinder.
A matching stationary or counter rotating disk IIRC was used either in front or
behind the rotating slotted disk the the sensing disk was behind both.
Yes Hendrik, same principle as the butterfly disk style, but mine use
cylinders - the field exposure is radial instead of axial. Ed

Here's a simplistic view that may be sufficient. Some energy (in the
form of charge redistribution, which includes current flow) has to come
from the capacitor, and some from the input signal, to do the work
needed to push the leaf against gravity. When the input signal is
removed, some of the

For static bias, look up "electret" for ideas on some other possible
options.
I would recommend against your option 2 capacitor - that's a dangerous
