James Bowery and other vortex members,
Today I learned about the the work of Bernard Burchell.
He argues for a velocity dependent version of coulomb's law*
In his model the coloumb force between two like charges increases when the
charges are moving together and decreases when they are moving apart.
The reverse is true for opposite charges.
The revised law:
F = {K(q1)(q2)/r^2} {1 + [(q1)(q2)(v1- v2)]/c}^3
He goes into more detail here:

This is just a small fraction of his work. He has many bold and wonderful
ideas in his free on-line book.

* I made a similar proposal on vortex sometime ago although it was nothing
more than an intuition and I only considered like charges:
