1. A magnetic flux generator to enhance ion transport in one or more electrochemical cells, the magnetic flux generator comprising:
one or more magnetic field sources, each being configured to produce a respective changing magnetic field through the one or more electrochemical cells;
wherein each changing magnetic field is individually controllably variable in three spatial dimensions to enhance the ion transport in the one or more electrochemical cells; and
a controller electrically connected to the one or more magnetic field sources and to the one or more electrochemical cells, the controller configured to:
monitor electrochemical overpotential of each of the one or more electrochemical cells located within at least one of the one or more magnetic fields as each of the one or more magnetic fields is individually controllably varied; and
select a value for each of the three spatial dimensions of each magnetic field to reduce each electrochemical overpotential.
