Mike,

True there is going to be some edge effect. But thats not the bulk of the current. When you place 2 flat conductors next to each other with an insulator in between you have a capacitor. And the electrostatic field covers the entire surface of both conductors connecting them with a constant supply of ions being generated between them. With the mechanical stirring sweeping the ions away as soon as they are formed. This method allows for a highly ionic solution to be made quickly. The beauty of using plates as your electrodes is the electrostatic field is larger because more surface area is aligned.
