That's very interesting! I've been thinking about a way to fight rust inside cabinets and tool boxes, down in my damp basement.
Maybe a cheap Peltier CPU cooler with CPU heat sinks on both sides,
and a controller that would switch the current flow direction back and forth, (slowly)
to melt off the ice that forms on the cold side, while forming more ice on the other side..

The water would drip down into a drain pan with a small drain hose..
