Off topic; Scale Blaster for hard water
 

Well, this has something to do with water anyway.

Lot of people here with a lot of knowledge about different things, so has
anyone had any experience with something like this ?

All it is is an electrical impulse thru a wire wrapped around the water
pipe.

Sounds crazy to me, but maybe someone here knows something about it.

Yup they work but you have to be careful that you dont over-do the
voltage so that the pipe itself goes into solution. These are used in
cooling towers in power plants .... but the voltage is CAREFULLY
controller or the pipes will 'go'.

The explanation is bogus, though dressed up in scientific clothes.
Despite that, I conceive it is possible to shake up scale off copper
pipe walls by using sharp edged current pulses to launch a sound
vibration along the pipe.

This reminds me of the fellow at NASA (Ames I think?) who
designed a system with surface wires on wings or prop blades, which
were pulsed with a big current. That rascal would blow ice
accretions off in fine, fine powder. The Air Force did some tests to
launch projectiles fast with this kind of device.
