Lamare it's clear that you and I have a very different idea about things, but that in itself is probably not such a bad thing.
Yes this is understandable, no problem, but leakage would be through the dielectric from the charges that already exist on the plates and/or surface of the dielectric.
I'm not sure about this being a known fact, and indeed I think that rather than charged particles within the dielectric moving, it is more likely simply that the dielectric remains still somewhat polarised. And the reason it gives no useable power is because although a voltmeter might read a pd across the plates due to the action of the polarised dielectric, in reality there is no charge differential on each plate.
I also think that you have to be very careful not to be drawn into things on these forums without due consideration. Many people forward theories of what they think is happening, but in reality have no real science to back them up. It is very easy to get caught up in it all and be led by possible misinformation that eventually gets treated as the truth, for no real good reason.
Show me the science, conventional or not that explains the process and I'm happy. But if, like Meyer, we are expected to take his word for it when there is no science to back it up, and I'm a real 'doubting Thomas'.
But that's just me.
Incidentally Lamare, I asked if you were Irish, because you always drop the 'H' in through!

So, it is possible and actually a known fact. It's just that it won't give you enough useable power.
As has been shown on this forum, you can push normal electrolytic capacitors that far that they will recharge themselves multiple times for a considerable period of time. This recharging takes a while, so I don't see any practical use for it, especially not now I understand how Meyer did it and why this is so difficult to replicate. Eventually is the same principle Gray used as well as Pucharin, but I already explained that
