Wouldn’t the process also include a sacrificial cathodic element that would have to be periodically replaced?

In other words, it is a VERY old fashioned battery.

they are still doing a cost analysis. They are taking pre-orders online

They are taking orders without a cost?

That would be the Anode. Depending on the material there is self-consumption or passivation. Than anode would have to be replaced someday.
I knew I should have patented that years ago. ugh.

They are taking orders without a cost? "Pre-order" consists of giving them your name and email address to be put on a waiting list.

You’re right, the anode is sacrificial. For many decades ocean going boats and ships have had sacrificial anodes to prevent hull rusting.

It is also used sometime for corrosion protection in pipes, strucutural steel, etc on land.

The technology has been around since Sir Humphrey Davy in 1824. He pretty much was the father of “cathodic protection” and used zinc to protect the copper cladding of British warships. The copper was an anti-fouling material, but would corrode away without the zinc anodes.

The salt does not provide energy, the electrodes, or rather the difference in composition between the two electrodes does.
No matter what they are made of, they will be depleted and require replacement before long.
We made batteries like this in school. Why does anyone think this is new technology?

That is what I have my original PE registration in.
I designed something like that years ago as an indicator for pipeline test stations. Didn't see much of a patent potential (no pun intended) at the time.
Well. Hindsight and all that.
