Why are you referring to yourself in the third person?
That's a tough question. Wait a minute. I know the answer. Just to bother you.

Congratulations, you have (re)created the triphasic motor.

In fact, that's the idea behind most of electric motors used in industry today. The difference is that they use magnetic fields rather than electrostatic. Theroretically you can increase the speed by increasing the frequency of the oscillating field. But there are several physical and mechanical limitations that will prevent you from even getting close to a minimum fraction of lightspeed.
Anyway, it is a fine idea, but someone already came up with it more than 100 years ago.

One of the foremost failures of this physics forum and its administrator is that ignorant kibbitzers are freely permitted to post unfounded criticisms .
Most likely your conceptual errors relate to neglect of Newton's third law. I.e. any force applied to one plate has a equal and opposite reaction force.
Exactly the opposite of the force involved in making the "detached" electric field to begin with.The question is how much force is created when a "detached" electric field hits a charged object.
this thread is such obvious nonsense that I have not wasted time to read the details, not even as much as Pete has. It is basically the same idea that by pulling upwards on my shoes the vertical force will make me fly as high as I wish.Billy T,
The object of this device is to create an action/reaction force between the second plate and the "detached" electric field from the first plate, instead of creating an action/reaction force between the two plates. ...
Exactly the opposite of the force involved in making the "detached" electric field to begin with.
When the field is made, it will push back on the originating plate with exactly the same force that it later applies to push forward on the receiving plate.
In addition to violation of Newton's third law, there would also be a violation of conservation of energy.
When the field is generated, the field applies a force to the first plate without interacting with the second plate.When the "detached" electric field is generated at the first plate, the second plate is not charged yet. Therefore, there is no electrostatic interaction between the "detached" electric field and the second plate, and therefore no force.
When the field is generated, the field applies a force to the first plate without interacting with the second plate.
Just like when the 'detached' field arrives at the second plate as you describe it: the field applies a force to the second plate without interacting with the first.
And if you could succeed in accellerating that sphere (or both of them) with no external to the system force doing work on your system, then you have make kinetic energy from nothing. - A clear violation of the conservation of energy....All that I'm trying to do is to make this "eternal" force push, or pull, on only one sphere by switching on and off the charges of both spheres.

You are trying to pull yourself up by your boot staps. Some external force must do work to accelerate you.
I will not bother to look into your details, but you seem to want to pulse some EM fields to get an impulse - perhaps the sillness of this idea is more obvious to you if the EM field is that of a flash light turned on and off inside a space ship.
Yes when you turn it on aimed at the rear there is an impulse forward and it is exaclty cancelled when the beam hit the rear wall. Yes you can wiggle that space ship - throwing a ball at the rear will too; but Nothing you can do without an external force applied will accelerate it to higher energy state. The details do not matter.
There can be huge waste of stored energy, even by a million mice running on tiny wheels making electric power. That does not violate fundamental physical laws; Nor does it provide any "external force."Hello All,
I'm no physicist but I think you are missing something important Billy T.
There is a force external to the pulse engine itself. It's the power source for the engine. Be it chemical in the form of a battery or whatever, there has to be something that charges the sphere to create the initial pulse. ...
PS: I forgot to welcome you here - I do now. Also if there were a stern mounted electric fan blowing air into a big spinacher sail out front (none of the typical air foil sails even up) which way to you think the sailboat would move? (ASSUMING there is zero natural wind)
