Never saw this thead till now, i can definatly say that the ERPS units send a current though the WHOLE vehicale. My ole' kombis chrome bumpers would
zap the crap out of you touched them with a soft skinned part of your body (inside of my arm usaully, when i ducked down to look at a new rattle)

I am glad you clarified what soft skinned part you were referring too.

Science (the process of discovery) moves on but the basis behind it does not. Something that was proved fraudulent in 1996 does not somehow become
legitimate in 2010 just because 14 years have passed. For example the polariser was tested and found to be baseless in the 1980s - a new study now
will make no difference. Snake oil is still snake oil.
Electronic anti-rust units don't work because an electron 'cloud' can't be maintained - air is an insulator. There is a possibility of it working
in sea water, which surrounds the components with a conductive medium. But in that case you can use galvanic protection that doesn't need a power
source. I head Dr Karl on JJJ say much the same on his radio show last year; unfortunately I can't find a link. The only positive claims about these
things come from the makers - that should tell you something.
But by all means fit one if you want, it's your money.
that is exactly right, at least you understand some science and see how its can't possibly work.
Its amazing how many people fall for this bogus scam.
I had my best mate consider one and I talked him out of it and went through all the physics and chemistry to explain how it ought to work and why it
actually doesn't.
I even said like you, that it only possibly works submerged in water with free ions present. Air does not work period.
