Default New idea to prevent corrosion

There are a few threads i this forum discussing corrosion in your watercoolingsetup.
I want som oppinions on this idea on how to prevent corrosion without adding purple ice etc.

Assume you have a wb made of aluminum and a radiator made of brass or copper, this would be a ideal setup for corrosin to take place. Since the wb and radiator isn't electrically connected to each other, i assume all of you allready have taken this precausion, the electrical current carried between them will have to be in form of ions in the water. By adding a stong, permanent, electric field across the waterflow at its slowest point will draw the ions to the edge of the tube and the ions will stay there untill you switch of the field.
The ideal setup for this should be:
Slow water flow, strong electric field, a long electric plate and a narrow gap between the plates.

In theory isolating the wb and radiator from each other should prevent corrosion. But unfortunatley the real world is a bit different.

So what do you guys think????
