I'm not so sure about that, Jones.
It takes the combined energy of 1.223e-13 0.510 MeV (8.16e-14 joule) electrons to equal 1.0 joule,
the total charge, Q of 1.223e13 electrons is 2.0e-6 coulombs.
A 5.0e-12 farad capacitor (in air) holding 2.0 e-6 coulombs has a voltage Q/5.0e-12 = 4.0e5 volts
on its plates, and stores as Electrical Energy, 1/2 CV^2 = 0.4 joules.
Buehler's calculation from the data shows the "normalized" anomalous repelling force
(regardless of the sign of the plates wrt the earth) of 0.47 newtons per joule.
Thus 0.47/0.4 = 1.175 newton/joule. (about 1.0 newton per joule).
9.8 newtons at 9.8 joule-sec (9.8 watts) or 1.0 newton per joule, will make a 1.0 kg mass achieve
weightlessness at the earth's surface.
It seems that electrical energy stored in the air (vacuum?) between the plates
of a capacitor wants to repel the earth's gravity.
At least on a beam balance, or a pendulum, where no work is being done?
