Here are some nice diagrams of a Fuel Cell:( and maybe I can add some links to Mining Applications that interest me in the positive-negative charges ( OK..protons and electrons) that charge me up and plasma my ions and dust! The last two at NUKE aka Rhombic that I write at with that SEC Disclosure/Disclaimer in the works -but I do read and found this very interesting ! ) Chucka RE:

Waterflow differential electrical charging process for ores
Abstract
The invention consists of forming an aqueous slurry of water and particles of ore carrying both metals and/or minerals which are passed at relatively high speed along an electrically isolated path in contact with electrically insulating materials and in the presence of air. This generates a positive electrostatic charge in the water droplets and enclosed particles and a negative charge in the electrically insulating materials through which they are being driven. The water droplets and hence the particles become differentially charged so that when they pass over an oppositely charged negative field, they are driven into the lower oppositely charged field body by the strong force of electrical attraction and the relatively weaker force of gravity. Should the negative collector contain an amalgamating material such as mercury and the ore, as an example contain gold, electrons are exchanged providing instant amalgamation of the surface of the gold. The electrostatic charge is maintained throughout the process until precipitation of the particles is completed.
