This is what I am saying here … I started to test blocks using dissimilar metals (Aluminum and copper) several years. Knowing about the battery effect I decided that I would do a test to see how long it would take for my test block to show signs of corrosion . Using anodized aluminum, o-ring, metal screws and copper the system ran for 10-months in a setup. Getting tired of not have any action (Yes I can be patient) I took the system apart. What I found was no sign of corrosion. So I came up with a possible theory on why this was happening in this environment. I am not talking about a bridge or a ship in the middle of the ocean; I am talking about a water block used for I.C cooling. Some time later while reading #rotor page (under the FAQ/ the battery effect) I found that someone else had found something familiar . So I am not spitting out my theory on what I think would happen but why something didn’t happen in an experiment.
