My current theory is that the side moving upward into the electron rain has been emptied of (some of) the electrons attached to it, and is thus more attractive to the infalling electrons.
I've never seen an experimental graph of rotation speed as a function of voltage. Now I want to!
All the papers I'm seeing are quite mathematical and don't talk about the basics I'd like to know about. Since the Quincke effect was discovered in 1896, the most interesting papers about it - for an amateur like me - could be quite old. My superficial web searches have not penetrated that stratum.
