A possibly more accurate description of the Kanzius electrolysis
process follows.
The dissolved Na and Cl ions are each surrounded by a hydration
layer, a layer of water molecules polarized radially by the central
ions. The alternating RF field causes vibration of the nuclei within
the ions, but more importantly, mutually 180 degrees out of phase
vibration of the ions within their hydration layers. These
oscillating mechanisms permit kinetic energy storage, energy which
can ionize the hydration layers upon the occasional close approach of
the Na and Cl ions, and even permit momentary and partial penetration
and/or ionization of the hydration layers by the ions. This
catalyses the reaction:
2 H2O -> H2 + HOOH
The concentration of NaCl has to be sufficient that enough ions are
adjacent to each other to support this kind of catalytic action.
