         Electrolysis is the phenomenon by which metals are exchanging ions among
         them throughout a liquid (electrolyte). All metals are loaded either negative
         or  positive   (static electricity)   according  to  the   amount  of  positive  or
         negative ions they have (over and free) at their atoms.

         When  two  or  more  dissimilar metals are immersed in any electrolyte they
         exchange their ions  trying  to create a balance electrical field. The negative
         ions  (cathode)  are pulled by the positive (anode) and this movement of  the
         ions  goes  with  the  lights speed  (300.000 Km/sec).     This  is  to  say  the
         negative  ions are bombing the metals whose atoms have more positive ions
         with the result that these metals deteriorate.

         When a  'zinc/aluminium/or  other  metal  alloy' (called as well 'anode')  are
         placed  close  by,  these  positive   loaded  metals   (anodes)   pull  towards
         themselves  the  free  moving  negative ions and thereby protect other metals
         from being deteriorated.
