Claim:
1. A transient protection system for maintaining an on-demand, long-term corrosion-free environment, comprising: a self-contained, transient corrosion protection enclosure capable of containing a metal article, said enclosure being free of any external power source; said enclosure having at least one sensor therein, said sensor comprising: at least one relative humidity sensor for sensing the relative humidity in said enclosure, at least one temperature sensor for sensing the temperature in said enclosure, at least one volatile corrosion inhibitor sensor for sensing the amount of volatile corrosion inhibitor vapor in said enclosure, or at least one corrosion fluid sensor for sensing the amount of a corrosive fluid in said enclosure, or any combination thereof; said enclosure having at least one corrosion abating dispenser, said dispenser comprising: at least one dehumidifier dispenser located either inside said enclosure or outside said enclosure and having at least one dehumidifying compound therein, or at least one volatile corrosion inhibitor dispenser located either inside said enclosure or outside said enclosure and having at least one volatile corrosion inhibitor therein, or at least one soluble corrosion inhibitor dispenser located either inside said enclosure or outside said enclosure and having at least one soluble corrosion inhibitor therein, or at least one corrosive fluid absorber and scavenger dispenser located either inside said enclosure or outside said enclosure and having at least one corrosive fluid absorber and scavenger therein, or any combination thereof; a microprocessor, said microprocessor, independently, being operatively connected to said at least one relative humidity sensor, or to said at least one temperature sensor, or to said at least one volatile corrosion inhibitor sensor, or to said at least one corrosion fluid sensor, or any combination thereof; said microprocessor, independently, being operatively connected to said at least one dehumidifying compound dispenser, or said at least one volatile corrosion inhibitor dispenser, or at least one soluble corrosion inhibitor dispenser, or said at least one corrosive fluid absorber and scavenger dispenser, or any combination thereof; and said microprocessor being self-controlled and programmed so that, independently, upon receiving a signal from any of said sensors that the amount of the detected item thereof is abnormal being capable of energizing said one or more corrosion abating dispensers and releasing predetermined different amounts of said at least one corrosion abating dispensing compound into said enclosure.
