This invention pertains to automotive engine cooling systems and the removal of electrical energy that routinely accumulates in the vehicle's cooling system. It has been determined that electrical voltage over 0.300 milli volts can cause serious damage to cooling system components in contact with the vehicle's engine cooling liquid. This voltage is generated by several sources such as static electricity from tires as they rotate, short circuits in the vehicles electrical systems or dissimilar metals inside the cooling system that create electrical energy. This electrical energy, if not removed, can develop and cause electrolysis. Electrolysis is a positive electrical energy bonding with a negative metal source. Over a period of time the constant colliding or the two energies cause metal erosion eventually weakening it and causing the metal to fail. In an automotive cooling system, electrolysis erosion causes softer metals located in the internal passage ways of the engine and other cooling system components to develop leaks and allowing engine cooling liquid to escape the system which can cause the vehicle's engine to overheat. In some cases serious damage to the engine can occur. The electronic voltage remover when installed on a vehicle removes accumulated electricity from the cooling system helping to prevent the electrolysis process.
The present invention removes harmful electrical voltage from inside an automotive engine cooling system that overtime can cause serious engine and cooling system component failure. Most vehicle cooling system metal components will conduct either a positive or negative voltage when in contact with the cooling system liquid. When two components in the system are located through voltage testing and one shows positive voltage and the other shows negative voltage, an electrical circuit can be completed by connecting the two together. The present invention having two wire leads, one positive and one negative connects to a battery box which houses a rechargeable type nickel-metal hydride battery. A nickel-metal hydride battery stores electrical energy and is rechargeable as the stored electrical energy is depleted. When attaching a very low resistance voltage light bulb to the battery creates a slow drainage and constantly keeps the battery searching for replaceable voltage. When the individual wire leads from the battery box are attached to a positive and negative metal cooling system component a circuit is completed and allows the nickel-metal hydride battery to continuously collect both positive and negative voltage trying to recharge itself from the vehicle's cooling system. This constant collecting of electrical energy keeps the vehicle's cooling system at a save voltage limit and slows or in some cases eliminates the electrolytic metal erosion process.
While various modifications, changes and alternatives are suggestible to one skilled in the art based on the descriptions set forth above, the invention is to be given the broadest interpretation based on the scope of the appended claims.
