| Sounds like good science. |

The zinc would work well and last longer, but the magnesium would work better and dissolve away more quickly. Since the magnesium will still last a fairly long time in the comparatively inert antifreeze mix (compared to ocean water), it will likely offer better protection. Since the anode dissolves into the coolant more quickly than plain iron or aluminum would, you'll probably want want to replace the coolant a bit more often than normally.
I like the idea of having a magnesium anode on the radiator cap, but might decide to wait for them to come out with a combination magnesium anode/jumper cable radiator cap combo, so I could jump a dead battery using the reactivity of the cooling system.
Maybe they'll offer one next year.
