If two such charges could indeed be concentrated at two points a meter apart, they would move away from each other under the influence of this enormous force, even if they had to rip themselves out of solid steel to do so!
Clear example of Hutchison and Brown.
Right about the first part of your quote  but: Oh! please don't bring Hutchison into this thread. IMHO he is a charlatan doing the fringe radio circus tour. He collects a lot of military surplus electronic equipment to impress his followers, but has not been able and will not publicly duplicate his early demos. Now he is playing with "rock batteries"...gimme a break!! In this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LhvpC2lsCs he is using a barium titanate ultrasonic transducer hooked to an impressive old audio oscillator and power amplifier vibrating a wooden board to move objects around (like those early football and soccer games that had a 60 Hz. vibrator to move figures around on a board). I can't believe people fall for this stuff. His one redeeming quality is that he rescues a lot of fine old equipment from going into landfills. That he uses them as background stage props is disappointing. As for Brown, it is a different effect entirely, a pinch charge field effect. They are not clear examples. I think you may have missed the point.  Consider that a 1 Farad capacitor charged to one Volt contains one Coulomb. Now muse on that in light of the first post.  http://www.electronics2000.co.uk/calc/capacitor-charge-calculator.php
