Maybe you knew it, but I sincerely doubt that you understood it, by all means of respect.

When we look at the electrons mass and apply Special Relativity we expect to see a weak gravity field from the particle. Far too weak to be of any use to us if we wanted to construct a warp drive.
How exactly do you propose to make a warp drive from electrons?

But with Mossitto-Lorentz gravity it is of course different.
And wrong.

Opposite charges attract more than like charges repel and the difference is mistaken as the force called gravity.
This needs to be explained in more detail. Please do elaborate.

Once we realise that its electro-magnetism (an electric field or a magnetic field) that curves spacetime then its a whole new ball game.
Yes, it would. However, so far all evidence points to the fact that
mass is curving space time, not electromagnetism. If you can show me any evidence of the latter, please do so. And yes, I am very familiar with the
Heim theory, which is not really a theory as it is full of flaws.

If we construct a ship and charge its hull up with an electric field of 100,000 volts we dont get the level of warp predicted by Special Relativity which would be tiny. The effect is extremely powerful.
This is naturally utter nonsense. The Theory of Special Relativity makes no such predictions whatsoever. And, your subsequent post essentially shows that.

Two problems preventing it -
1. The voltage in the wire is AC not DC (It cycles between positive and negative 50 times a second)
Correct. Most Power distribution lines are AC, however, some are DC. And high voltage.

2. The Earths charge is neutral (Why plugs have an Earth pin)
Yes, it is indeed. But so is space. How does that fit with this statement of yours?

Since space is overall charge free, how do you propose this would work?

If the Earth had a positive charge and the wire had a postive charge it would intend float off into space (or if both were negative).
Obviously, it does not. Your physics is flawed.
