- Wow, I've never published a post that got absolutely no responses. Does this mean I've stumped the Borg??? <GRIN> I'm going to assume that this does not mean dropping a partial hot water heater anode

- Not stumped - just waiting for someone else to explain it. For a sacrificial anode to work, it must be well connected electrically to the object that it is protecting. The two metals actually form a

- Well I was certainly speechless ... doubt like hell it will help (as already explained) but don't see why it would hurt either. Be sure to send us reports from your 5 year mission ! Randall _________

- I agree with the other guy, that it has to be electrically coupled to the tank. Personally, I think it would make a better sparkler. Maybe there will be something celebrate next 7/4. -Wayne _________

- Wouldn't the moisture in the tank provide the electrolyte and the rod laying in contact with the tank provide the connection. I realize eventually that the interface would be subject to corrosion, bu

- The typical method for hanging an anode in a radiator is to make a thin sheet of brass that fits the filler neck, under the cap. Then hang the anode by some braided wire into the coolant. ___________

- This and the other water heater descriptions may be the salient point - the electrode is totally emersed in the electrolyte and is separated from the tank by the electrolyte except at the one point

- Why not slip maybe 3-4 thin o-rings or similar around the rod to support is just above the bottom of the tank, and cover the ends of the rod so they can't contact the end-bells ? A galvanized-interi

- It is probably not a correct assumption that the electrode needs to be separated from the tank except at one point. Outboard boat engines have blocks of zinc bolted tightly to the lower units to cont

- Thanks for all of the responses. I do believe that having a solid connection to the tank has merit. I had not thought about that. While I'm not going to weld or bolt up to an certified tank, I'm look

- What are you going to use for electrolyte, fill the tank with water? Otherwise, it will be just like a battery with no electrolyte in it. Dave Russell _______________________________________________

- No, I don't think so. If the anode is connected to the steel tank, the magnesium anode will react with the steel it is in contact with. I believe that the reaction will take place between the magnes
