Abstract
The system includes at least one electrolysis cell having a principal direction of current flow. The electrolysis cell has two electrode surfaces whose mean surface planes are substantially parallel, separated by a fluid electrolyte layer. Separate electric current conducting means, energized by an electric power source and independent of the electrolysis circuit elements are so arranged and constructed with respect to the cell to increase the average component of the magnetic field substantially parallel to the mean electrode surfaces within the fluid electrolyte layer. This increase in the magnetic field is relative to the magnetic field due solely to the electrolysis current. A flow return conduit is included for connecting at least one entrance port of the electrolysis cell to a least one exit port of the electrolysis cell. The ports are disposed substantially parallel to the pressure gradient formed by the magnetic forces present during operation.
