Ye is basically the same principle, so no reason for it not to work.
But I think the reactor produces more CH4 type gas than it does H2 and CO.
If there is any magnetic field in the Geet, applying the right hand rule in the minds eye is interesting.
If the exhaust gas in the outer tub cools to below the the condensation temperature of water; there may be charge separation and thus a local HV electric field..?
