OK, true, but I don't see why that affects the practicality of
electrostatic motors. In fact, if you remove the motor drive of
a pelletron, it will happily run in reverse, driven by the
acccumulated charge on the high-voltage electrode.

I was wondering if I could make an electrostatic gun,
charge some metal object negative, in a similar negative charged tube
then use several flyback positive pulse generators
(just a transistor and step up coil) along the barrel to speed the bullet up.

Just looked at google, only found electrostatic spray guns so far..
Long ago I made a multi-coil electromagnetic gun, several coils and photocells for the timing.
