I'm kind of thinking that the ions will keep on existence when the acid or base ions are adsorbed or that they will rapidly become available.. explain you why I think that
When we add sodium hydroxide for example we get na+ ions and oh- formed.. if we take the electrode and charge to negative each ion of sodium that gets adsorbed will basically will make the inner electrode to form a voltage...
I went to the physics university and there the lessons about capacitor teach me that inside a charged hollow metal we have zero electric field
This mean that if you charge the inner electrodes they will have a electric field acting if you charge the outer electrode it will not be able to go inside unless you charge it.
David haitin patent mention another patent about its mechanism of discharging the ions while maintaining the electric fields.
A cylindrical capacitor like any capacitor will have zero field outside however if you put a voltage on the inside it will sum with the capacitor voltage.. this mean that that region in space can have the potential manipulated..
The main idea is to have free h+ ions in a region always positive where it is forced to be deflected against the other coming from a negative region..
If we charge the inside electrode and than the whole structure we may be able to create what david describe.. a structure that screen the electric fields and allow the ions to discharge.. maybe the discharge must be switched by a relay like you pointed.
Palladium and platinum should be used to allow the ions to adsorb making it available to form gas with no energy
The way its draw the inner electrode is charged than the whole cell outside shield is charged to force the potential of the region to become same chargd and repel the ion towards negative region..
The dielectric could be much better than acrylic.. I'm thinking of designing a nice experiment for it.
https://patents.google.com/patent/EP1586046A4/enWhen I saw this patent I didn't realize how could be this shield structure.. but in the way I draw for me makes sense what he described.. because in the drawings of the patent the shield is not very well explained as is the secret behind all this patents
Also in fig one you can see there is two power supplies not only one.. and that is why I think I cracked it. Only one source would not be possible since the negative ions would be in a positive region so would not be able to go towards the counter ion to discharge never.. is like charging a cell with a diode in parallel and expect that the ions of the double layer will be shorted of we open circuit.
