I do believe the modules work, it's just a question whether they are as effective as using rust protection spray in the long term.
They operate on the principal of the galvanic effect, whereby electrons are supplied to the metal so as not to sacrifice the electrons in the iron, thus avoiding iron oxidation.
Galvanizing steel works similarly, except the electrons are supplied in the slow degradation of zinc rather than through an electronic trickle. Iron loses electrons to oxygen in the process of oxidation, resulting in iron oxide (rust).
I deal with a galvanic treated product in my business.
