Guys,
I've seen some noticeable increase in gas production by using a negative titanium outer tube with a stainless lead wire pressed against it. The inner positive epoxy filled tube is stainless 304. I think that the titanium makes a strong oxide coating that increases over time and builds an oxide layer that acts as a dielectric barrier.
The water stays crystal clear in this arrangement, however, when I switch polarity the iron flows out of the stainless and clouds the water quickly with red oxide.
This may be a way to build a dielectric barrier in a natural way and it works well enough for me to pursue this more.
