    Two glass flower vases filled with water to different levels are used to demonstrate how corrosion current flows between areas in contact with an electrolyte, but not to isolated areas. If a small amount of water is added to one vase, it flows through a connecting tube to fill another vase to the same height, showing how corrosion occurs between the connected areas, but not a third isolated area until the second vase is fully filled.

    Another glass flower vase has water added in different proportions to show another possible
    corrosion cell.

    It can be seen that if a little water is added to the highest level, water will flow through the small
    connecting tube to the adjoining upright tube.
    It will not flow to the other upright tube until the second is filled to the level of the connecting
    tubes.

    This can be likened to corrosion current flowing and it can be seen that corrosion is taking place
    between two of the coating faults but not to the third.
