Bjorn, here is the deal in short form.
Electrolysis is following a law that says the amount of substance collected at an electrode is equal to the amount of current that flows through the electrode, and current is coulombs per second, and coulombs is a number of electrons, so what this tells us is that electrons are being exchanged at the electrode and releasing the gas, you can think of it like this, electrons are tickets for milkshakes, the more tickets you exchange, the more milkshakes you get, and that is the law, with electrolysis you can never get more milkshakes than you have tickets, because it's an exchange process.
Stan's process is different in a basic way, it doesn't use this exchange process, no electrons/tickets are needed at the electrode, he never calls them electrodes either because they are not electrodes, he calls them exciters or plates, and the idea is simple, and the whole device is probably simple too if you understood it, it's just this understanding thing that gets people off track. we want to apply an "electrical attraction force" with the use of voltage and an electric field across the water, and the current needs to be restricted, and the pulsing of the voltage at a frequency that matches the motion of the water in a standing wave between the plates will cause it to break apart faster, the water has a positive and negative side, and he calls this process the Electrical Polarization Process, which is a descriptive emphasizer of the way it works with the facts that the water is polar in structure, and he uses an electrical circuit to polarize and separate the water.
You have to decide between the two processes, if you want to play with electrolysis then you can optimize for that process, and will be limited by that process, you need to use high current, and your efficiency loss is due to heating of the water, and expense due to cost of distilled water and electrolyte additives such as KOH and NaOH.
There is information that suggests boosters can increase internal combustion engines net efficiency, helping only to get more energy out of the gasoline by burning it faster and more completely, which requires something in the neighborhood of 20 liters per minute of hydrogen and oxygen, and not 1-4 liters which you commonly see in these small booster units.
If you want to work on Stan's process, then right from the start, realize it is different, and requires the proper electrical circuitry to control the process and accomplish the task. The shape of the metal has nothing to do with it besides optimization, someone with tubes doing electrolysis is fooling themselves.
