Footnote:

I wrote:

"I think that rapidly pulsing-discharging a capacitor (acceleration of the dielectric
dipoles is proportional to the displacement current, Id = C dV/dt) would be more
workable for AG than rotating a large mass (acceleration = v^2/r)."

In order to maintain an asymmetrical force, and reduce the charging power supply
current requirement the capacitor/s should be charged slowly and discharged as rapidly
as possible, using a spark gap or discharge tube (a standard fluorescent tube should
work well for this).

IOW, the setup is a run-of-the-mill Relaxation Oscillator.
