I had a response to you, but now I'm not sure...
A charged capacitor will have an effect on the space it occupies(common knowledge?)
Yet, I would put my money on the time of discharge. The more sudden it is the better. Tesla liked those sharp spikes, and whathisname is doing it now with those electron spheres... grr EVAs?
Now whether the "action" occurs because of the initial surge or is the reaction to that surge, I don't know. In other language, is it the "electrical potential" push that creates the action or space snapping back.
LOL, maybe it's not a push at all, but a pull?!?
Well, Brown made these lead capacitors out of lead and glycerine. I heard the effect comes from the mass of the matter inside, err more like the capacitor itself.
Doesn't the Casimir effect take very small distances?
Trickfox, Kevinb, and Mikado if I may... I don't understand what you were referring to several posts up, from my reply here. How can the secret be in making metal deposit "capacitors be the key to this technology? In that Brown made these huge disc capacitors with lead mixture interior and an aluminum exterior (correct me if I'm wrong about this). These things were WAY over on the macro side
I agree on increasing layers, but don't forget that (as far as I am aware of)
Dr. Brown only used one layer.
So the question is too, does increasing mass increase the effect or does increasing layers do it?

Space is stressed by the sudden release of energy and gets deformed. The snapping back of space to its equilibrium is what the disc feels. So the snapping back of space is what is "pushing" the disc forward.
That’s a possible explanation that should be reviewed. I don’t have a good argument against it off the top of my head, assuming the vacuum is free of gases.
This begs a question. Does your conjecture require the potential difference between the conductors of the capacitor to “warpâ€
