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

Magnetic poles don't attract or repel electrons to themselves.
Other electrical charges do that. The magnetic poles cause an
electron in motion to curve at exactly right angles to the magnetic
flux. This can be visualized by the "right hand rule". See wikipedia
for details.

This is a intriguing one:

thats what i get for skim reading :) thanks!
I know that when it comes to hho.One gas (cant remember which one) is repelled by a magnetic field and the other gas is attracted to it.So by itself a magnet wants to tear apart the water molecule.Most magnets are not able to do so by themselves but add an electric current and they can assist an electric current in doing so.The end result is that it takes less current with magnets than it does without them.You have to have a magnetic field surrounding your hho cell.triffid
