"The first thing that I noticed was that the water/electrolyte solution in the
cell was circulating in a manner that was different than I had seen prior to
this experiment. In fact, I had never observed the water to be moving at all
before. At least other than what might be expected to be caused by the ions
moving through the solution and/or by the bubbles of gas rising through the
solution.

Now though there was a substantial amount of solution seemingly being "sucked
up" between the two electrodes, from the bottom of the cell and then rising
between the electrodes and exiting at the top edges of them, along with the
bubbles of gas that were being produced. The "flow" would be comparable to that
produced by the pump on an aquarium filter. This is quite a bit of water being
set into motion and that motion being sustained for as long as the cell is in
operation. Gas output of the cell was NOT reduced by whatever energy was being
utilized to produce this movement.

The construction/design of the cell was a major factor in allowing me to
"catch" this phenomenon and to be able to identify it as being separate from the
motion caused by the rising bubbles. The tight fit of the electrodes against the
sides of the container, coupled with the "ridge" through the center of the
bottom of the container and the slightly flared top edges made for an ideal
situation in which the water could be drawn in at the bottom of the electrodes
and then ejected around the top edges.

Here is where it first dawned on me that the water molecules or the ions in
the solution or both might actually be being set into motion by and then
"following" the magnetic or electric lines of force produced by the combination
of the permanent magnets and the electromagnetic fields around and between the
electrodes. Commonly known as a Magnetohydrodynamic effect."
