I was referring to producing a system with a charge imbalance. Considering a parallel plate capacitor you load it up with free electrons on the one side, which displaces the electrons on the other plate, I was wondering if there was a way to force some free electrons back into the positive plate...

Darn. OK well thanks for the answer, from the absence of information on the topic I figured that it was a bit unlikely.

Hey PF, I have a thought experiment that's been driving me nuts, here it is: I take a parallel plate capacitor charge it up to a steady state and then isolate / disconnect it from the electrical system leaving me with two charged parallel plates. I then hook up a power supply to two corners of...
