Do you think this electric engine will work?

  in what way does the negative charging of the gas increase the pressure on the piston ?

  Negative charging of gas will increase the mutual repulsion among gas molecoles/atoms ( and therby increse the electric potential energy of gas). So the gas will try to expand. This repulsion will increse the pressure of gas on the piston.

  Well that is ok. now even if the pressure of the gas is increased, will it increase to that extent to push down the piston as well as the load attached to it.
  
  maybe you got to build a working model and find that out

  If you calculate simply from electrodynemics point of view (approximately) then for the charge of around 0.1 Coulomb, even small displacement of piston ( of the order of cm) changes the potential energy by 10^7 Joule. You can imagine the force it can exert( provided the engine remain intact)
