Those are indeed wonderful results from the, er, space war people, but I don't understand how an external DC electric field can have any effect inside the electrolytic cell. The resistance of the container walls is so much greater than that of the electrolyte that all of the voltage drop, i.e., the electric field, would be across the walls, and none across the electrolyte and its contents.
Mark's point is well taken. The voltage drop across the electrolyte will not be zero, however. The text is also slightly in error in referring to a 6000 volt current. Again, starements about the field strength of the magnets are way off. The magnets might produce a 12 kilogauss field under test conditions, but not with the large gap involved, and 12,200 gauss is by no means a "moderate" strength; it is quite high.
These quibbles aside, what is important that immediate effects were produced by these fields, even though their mnagnitude at the active site is not correctly stated.
