      But I would have to seperate the H and O and introduce them on seperate sides of the electrolyte in order for the chemical reaction to take place correct?

Yes, that is why some generating systems use a membrane to separate the gases.

do you think if you run the plates vertically you could use lexsand extending down from the top of the gas chamber down below the water line in between the anode and cathode to keep the gases separate?  Would the area above the cathode have to be bigger because their is 2 H to every 1 O?

Do you think I'm on the right track or am I off the mark?

I did some study and it can't seem to find a way to produce the membrane.
