Consider two containers separated by a membrane only permeable to protons and electrons. It makes sense that a membrane would restrict permeable to the smallest units that people usually deal with, everything else such as atoms or molecules being much bigger. The hydrostatic pressure at the membrane is higher in the compartment to the left with a taller water column. The pressure increases the adsorbed gel phase at the membrane, since this phase of water has a higher density (the reverse of pressures effect on freezing point for ice. ) This causes asymmetry of the gel phase on both sides of the membrane, propelling protons over it to even out their distribution. Electrons will follow along to balance the charge, forcing water to break down in the compartment to the left. Since there is oxygen available to the compartment to the right, water will form there. Water appears to move across the membrane.
