Thanks, however that's the same thing the Canadian regulator claimed, as reported on the Wikipedia page. Then the Canadians backed down when two of the manufacturers there had tests done by recognised labs showing that their particular devices did reduce rust. It could be that the Aussie devices are/were doing it wrong, or those tests didn't represent read-world conditions, but I'd like to see actual tests disproving the Canadian claims seeing as their authorities had to back down on the "broken theory" argument. For now I'm focusing on those as the devices to try and replicate based on patents and the test reports. The thing that makes me most suspicious is that they're charging $300-$1000+ for these systems which so far as I can see would cost a tenth of that or less to make. That sort of profiteering suggests some dodgyness. But then again the same's probably true of many paints and anti-rust "treatments". > Government consumer protection agencies would *not* be ordering these > products off the market and people to be refunded if they worked. > > It's that simple.... Ah yeah, but the Canadians are *not* doing that anymore, therefore... -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _# | Note: I won't see posts made from Google Groups |
