I was looking for something like "Why gravity can't be the
electrostatic force", but I find almost nothing in the literature
or the web.

The simplest reason is this: in gravity, all masses attract, while
in electrostatics, like charges repel.

This is too simplistic. The main attractive force caused by an
electrostatic gravity is the attraction of neutrally charged matter to
a point electrostatic force. This is called the dielectrophoretic
force and is cause by the separation of charges within neutrally
charged matter. This is the same force that allows a charged balloon
to pick up neutrally charged bits of paper.

'Tho I am considerate of induced dipole mechanisms like
dielectorphoresis, I am skeptical that your experiment
is actually an example of the effect. Aren't the domains
normally in the micron range?
