Any conductor cutting through magnetic lines of flux induces a current in the conductor. A true statement and the principle of most electrical generators.

Water is a conductor.

What if I took narrow plastic tubing filled with water and treated it as if it were copper wire, coiled it around a ferrous core, and then passed a magnetic field over it. Would I induce a current to pass through the water? I believe I would. And if I'm passing a current through the water (DC), then I am also creating polarity in that coil, with one end being an anode (positive) and the other being the cathode (negative). If I seal each end of the water filled coil with a common conductive metal such as copper, then it must be true that as the induced current passes through the water, hydrogen will collect on the cathode end while oxygen collects on the anode.

I'm just exploring an idea here on a possible way to perform electrolysis without the need for a high electrical current source as is currently required to produce hydrogen from water. So many nay sayers out there with their list of reasons why "it can't be done"...just trying to come up with ways to silence the naysayers.

Anybody ever done any experiments like this?
