 This article brought to mind the Stanley Meyer lore from many years ago. That 
may sound like an odd connection. It is the double layer connection ,,,

Although deceased for several decades,  Meyer was a contentious figure in so 
called "water fuel" electrolysis, with a cult-like following even today. 
(mostly in Florida :-)  

The niche water-fuel field is still active, believe it or not, despite lack of 
commercial devices -- yet If there was any magic to Meyers design it probably 
related to optimizing the double layer - which is not all that well understood 
today. Note: Meyer's close electrode spacing and low salt, etc. and massive gas 
flow. Yet I'm skeptical of most of it - but will admit seeing results from Fast 
Freddy's Meyer cell which were great (but less than what would be needed to 
match his claims)... and so it is no surprise that many considered Stan to be 
well...either a martyr or somewhat less than honest.
Yup. A persistent theme in alternative energy remains egoist inventors who find 
something interesting but can't take it further on their own.

Apologies for the rant

 Phys.org has a nice snippet on the Gouy-Chapman theory that describes how 
charge is distributed in electrolysis, but now 40-50 years later they found 
that the description isn't really correct. They found that the double layer 
could be bigger or smaller than expected and it has dependencies on the size of 
the ion molecule and the electrode materials which can affect the 
electrochemistry of some reactions.  
It's a nice little read at
