Week two of my anode experiment. While the copper itself isn't actually corroding, the magnesium appears to be plating the copper as it break down. Fascinating. The control is showing the early stages of patination. A foggy pinkish hue. I'm really surprised how fast these reactions are occurring. I'll need to run the anode at least a few feet away from the copper though as this will not work as is. It's even oozing magnesium hydroxide! #sciencetheshitoutofthis #museumwork #galvaniccorrosion #experiment #chemistry #sparkandanvil #flawedexperiment #doover (at San Diego Museum of Art)
