Dec 21, 2022 at 6:39 comment added tparker @dmckee---ex-moderatorkitten I made a very rough estimate in my answer below, and to my shock, I believe that the dipole-dipole force might actually be detectable in practice with a very sensitive apparatus.

Jun 9, 2014 at 15:13 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Have you tried estimating the dipole--dipole forces between two such batteries? How does this force compare to the static friction between one battery and a smooth lab bench? How does it compare to viscous drag from zephyrs in the laboratory air? Can you design a sufficiently free system to reliably test the idea?
