Recently a video was made available on the web (by Gravitec Inc) showing a "lifter" type thrust device in a high vacuum, that would be nice to see on Mythbusters. Townsend Brown mentioned using a lot of voltage(not 30KV) but well over 100KV in order to see an effect. But care must be taken not to get typical electrostatic force effects confused in the process.
