Tberk,

I agree with the air part, you can't get and electrolyte (main ingredient
for corrosion) from air.  As far as the danglies I haven't heard of them.
In the Navy we bolted zincs in the condensers.

OK, It's hard to believe the claims made for keeping rust at bay with an
electronic device on the Van body while in the air, but-

What of the dangly metal part hanging from a chain attached to a coolant
cap that is supposed to do the work the Zinc Cathode was doing on those
ships mentioned before, back before I started this run on sentence?
