Mark,

Quite a few years ago I had to know some electro-chemistry where this 
theory of reversing or at least protecting metals from corrosion was 
taught. As far as I remember one would need a LOT of power to reverse or 
even prevent a car from corrosion. 
But I like the idea that with a wimpy pocket size battery this should 
work. If it sells it works at least for the producer.

Cheers,

   Gus (I am glad not to be examined of that again - crossed fingers -)
