To provide the only experiment that I have run to date I set up a very rough version of the attached image. This was well before much of my reading into the OP image was conducted, and I had attended school for electrical engineering. I bought 4 sizes of nipple metal rings from lowes, to which I submerged them in water then took cables from ethernet cable to attach a 9 volt battery with the negative terminal to the center ring, and the positive to the outer ring. With my knowledge set, what happened was rather confusing as I began to see bubbles form in the interior of the rings but not inside the centermost, nor outside the outermost. The water was not hot, everything was safe to touch, yet the reaction reached a plateau eventually where I could discern two different bubble types, one large and one small. I would guess that is bubbles of H2, and O2.

The idea of capacitance is rather misunderstood and during the tests I too was confused. Hence afterword though I do feel I was separating water, and the issue with that is an oscillation occurred with the spaces in between the rings such that water becomes overly agitated to the point of separation. While water has a very unique effect on frequency, I do think that it was what initially lead me to trying to find a new understanding of what was occurring in front of me.

A large point of interest in the research was the Michelson–Morley experiment, and it's journey through the academic society with always the claims of having insufficient control over conditions. I found that to be most disheartening as they were some of the last (published) researchers trying to progress the ether theory. A relevant red flag about the corruption of the situation was that Einstein then proceeded to back up claims via the "failure" of the Michelson–Morley experiments.

The hard part about the academic discussion of this today is the blurring of the lines between repeatable, sensibly coordinated experimentation.
