Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, specifically because I'm looking for a schematic for a rust inhibitor type of device, winter is coming, and my Ford minivan has decided to lose weight this ear...lol.
Ever since moving from Vancouver island to Nova Scotia, there has been a steady increase in the amount of rust on the van, ESPECIALLY on the rokker panels, so, I'm hoping that one of these devices might help out, even if just a little bit, or slows down the rust process.
I clicked on the link provided here, and read the badly broken english post, trying my best to make sense of it, I think I get it, "except" for the part about the anode and cathode.
I'm "assuming" he means that you have 2 peices of metal, which can be iron or steel, but I'm confised about the "mounting" proceedures described, well, basically, there "aren't" any...lol
It only says:
"It is important to make sure that electrodes didn’t short-circuit."
What exactly is meant by this?
Are the anode and cathode to be mounted on the frame of the vehicle, but "isolated" from it, using a rubber grommet for example? Does it mean that neither electrode is to make contact with the vehicle chasis?
Or is there only "one" electrode needed, while the other is grounded to the chasis? I don't think that is the way it is supposed to be, wouldn't make sense to me if it was, but I have to ask!
I started out looking for the scematic for a device like the one shown here,
RustStop Electronic rust protection and rust prevention.
but if it's as simple as the one with the 2 910-OHM resistors and a couple of electrodes, I'm more than happy to give that a try.
I don't suppose anyone "has" the schematics for a device such as the one on the rust stop page?
Thanks!
Chris
