How to Reduce Fuel Consumption When Plowing

In the 1920's, research was done on using electroendosmosis to aid plowing.  Is this an untapped opportunity to reduce fuel consumption in tractors, excavators, drillers?  Green Opportunity?   Hmmm?

OK, now you have some start materials....what can you build with them?  What else can be done than that before?  Pulse voltage?  What harmless chemical can increase this effect?
