venice Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just discovered there is such a device available Anyone wants to share their experience with the kit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 no experience but my old work mate fully quallified mechanic real onto it guy has one fitted to his coronette, says they work good. Ill fit one to the c110 when its on the road they run all the time off your battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 ask $927.08 super car, he has one fitted to one of his Alfa's, he'd know if it works or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzsubbie Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I think they work? in the old days they used to use devices that did same thing on the old cast iron or steel etc pipes for running gas around the citys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanners Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Asked my physics teacher about this years ago and he said yeah no reason it wouldnt work. Explained it to me in detail but then I became a crackwhore and forgot everything I learned in school... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 It does have some scentific reasoning behind why it would work, so I guess thats one thing. Aside from that I think its an awesome product. They are pretty safe because fit it to a new car and you have to wait ten years plus to see if its working. Fit it to and old car and they are covered, as they can say the rust begin to occur before their device was fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 should still stop the rust getting anyworse- effectively you are pumping in electrons to prevent oxidation occuring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTD Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 on mega structures on discovery they built some huge steel bridge somewhere and had some shizzle running through it etc to stop it rusting away etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismo.capri Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 These things have been used for years on metal structures as pointed out and they work in that application. Structures are grounded to the earth and cars aren't so I'm a wee bit dubious. Also if they did work you'd think they'd be well publisied in the old car scene.... I'm interested as you could build one for a 10th the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 i have a book from the 50's with all car accessorys and how to do wahtever and it has that in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismo.capri Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 This is what a friend said: "No. Galvanic protection does work, but those gizmos don't work on a car. The problem is rust happens due to the residual stresses in the steel stampings. The more residual stress in the metal, the greater its elecronegativity, the tendency to rust. If you charge the whole car with electrons, there remains variations in elecronegativity among the various parts. Sacrificial anodes and zinc coated steel are all examples of galvanic protection that works." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 yuh, slapping some zinc on in places is what i would do/would rather have an electronic toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
