If I'm right about the electric force being conveyed through deformation of photons, then there is a very interesting experiment that we should be able to perform.
I have been looking for this experiment on the web, but with no success so far, so I may have to do this myself one day to see if I can confirm my suspicion.
The thing is that if electric force is conveyed through deformation, then there must be carefully synchronized with spin in order for the deformation to keep its direction and strength. The photon would have to vibrate in exact harmony with its spin for both spin and deformation to be communicated at the same time.
This means that a static electric field, crossing a static magnetic field, will always be impaired by a change in the magnetic field. In a setup where two statically charged balloons have their repelling field crossed by a magnetic field, the balloons will move towards each other if the magnetic field is suddenly changed.
It will not matter if the magnetic field increases, decreases or changes direction. Any change will be momentarily destructive for the electric field.
The reason for this is that a sudden change in the magnetic field will upset the above mentioned synchronization between spin and deformation.
It may be impossible to detect any effect, since all photons involved are moving at the speed of light. The electric force will therefore be quickly restored. There is also the problem of air currents that an amateurish setup might induce. However, I think the experiment should be worth the effort.
A setup with a magnetic field that can change from static to very high frequency would have the best chance of success. As the magnetic field increases its oscillations, the electric field should be increasingly impaired.
