If the north end of a magnet attracts electrons, and the anode in the cell attracts electrons, and vise versa for the south end and the cathode. If you used a hallow stainless steel tube with a magnet in it and the north end, and the same for the other side, would it not increase the reaction or am i confused.

also this being said could you not put a plastic divider in the the middle going 2/3 of the way down, then place a magnet on both sides north on the anode and south on the cathode but outside of the cell, and seperate hydrogen from the oxygen during the reaction?

i maybe completely wrong but just want an explanation.

thanks

Just so there is no misunderstanding Ions are what are moving in the electrolyte not electrons. Electrons exert force on the ions causing them to move. One pole pushing the other pulling. Magnets can be helpful in ways we do not totally understand yet. Lots of testing needs to be done. Go for it.
