- This is my new video how I discovered the amazing power of electricity in removing rust from metal! Rusty metal surfaces can be a real problem, but I think, I solved this problem! In this video I’ll show you how I used an old laptop adapter and some knowledge to get rid of rust from an old metal wrench.
The process of removing rust from metal with the help of electricity is known as "electrolytic rust removal" or "electrolysis rust removal." It works on the principle of using an electric current to reverse the oxidation process that causes rust.
Here's what you'll see in this video:
🔌 Setting up the rust removal station: I’ll guide you through my the simple setup process.
💡 Understanding the science: Learn the science behind how electricity can tackle rust.
🛠️ Tools and materials: I’ll show the essentials I used for this electrifying project.
🔋 Electrolysis in action: Watch as I demonstrate the complete rust removal process step by step.
✨ Reveal the results: See the incredible transformation as the rust disappears before your eyes!
Electrolytic rust removal is effective for removing even deep-seated rust without damaging the underlying metal. It's a relatively gentle and non-abrasive method that is particularly useful for restoring antique tools, automotive parts, and other metal items.
⚡However, it's important to follow safety precautions when working with electricity and chemicals, and the process may take some time depending on the severity of the rust.

From what I know, you would get better results if you use baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) instead of salt, and use iron instead of steel as anode.
Thanks a lot for commenting! I actually used iron (not steel) as anode
I beleve your anode is steel uderwise it would be rusted like rebar not shiny @@YouCanTelevision
Yes
Steel is refined iron....not chemically different to a significant extent. In the process of cleaning a steel strip, it is first pickled in acid (Hydrochloric or Sulfuric) then cleaned with alternating polarity. Example :Cathodic, Anotic, Cathodic, Anodic, Cathodic in a mostly Baking Powder bath (Sodium Carbonate). This has the combined effect neutralizing the pickling acid and providing ionization that conducts the electrical current.
Use washing soda...sodium carbonate...not sodium bicarbonate.
Salt can liberate chlorine gas...

Some suggestions:
More safety surrounding your electrical equipment
Attach a metal rod on your cathode side and resist submerging the wire so you can reuse the charger's wire.
State the advantage of electrolysis. One of them being that it blues the metal and thus mitigates rust from forming as easily. This does not happen with a vinegar bath or power tool rust removal methods.
Thank you for your input!
@@YouCanTelevision Also, this should be done outside, this process produces Hydrogen gas, very explosive.
Jesus fuck, it's only probably 5 volts. I've been an electronics tech for 40 years, and I don't worry about chicken shit like this. And use bare hands.

Thank you so much for watching my video! Your comment weights so much for me!!!
Sehr guter Beitrag und Ergebniss. Einfach und wirksam mit geringem Aufwand. Danke für das Hochladen. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie meinen Kanal gesehen haben! Viel Glück und Erfolg für Sie! ❤️❤️❤️
Klappt mit einem 12-V Batterieladegerät wesentlich besser und ist auch sicherer. Aber wenn man nach dieser Methode das Stahlteil nicht mit Öl oder Ähnlichem einreibt, sieht es nach 2 Tagen wieder wie vorher aus...
Vielen Dank für Ihre Ergänzung
You can also boil a rusty tool in distilled water. The rust turns black (ferric oxide). Card off the loose material and spray with vinegar and allow to rust and boil again. Repeat three or four times and you now have rust resistant bluing like a firearm. (Rust bluing process). It looks nice😊
Thank you so much for your advise! I hope it would also be helpful for the audience

What was the other metal that you placed with the spanner?
Just ordinary piece of steel. You just need to clean it from rust to ensure good contact with the wire
I thought it it was a magnet....
Sure could have said so in the video.@@YouCanTelevision
If he is an American, he didn't have a spanner, but a wrench
I use an old brake drum, 1/2 rebar was dissolving too fast.
That's so great. I love watching your videos.
Thank you so much! I like to see your comments, my friend!
Thanks. Follow that up with Simichrome and it Will look brand new.
Thank you for your addition! ❤️
👍👍👍.Thank you
You are welcome, my friend! Thanks for watching!
Hi you can do the same with viniger, and you can save power.👍
Yes, I know, thank you for your comment! I made a video about that method - rust removal using the mixture of vinegar and baking soda
@@YouCanTelevisionwhich method is the best, from your experience ?
Great content !
Thanks a lot for your positive comment!
Approximately the same result will be after processing with an iron brush, using an angle grinder for five minutes. The only difference is that the tool will be more shiny, and the charger will remain intact.
This method does not require any efforts from my part, but iron brush does. The rust on this wrench is quite deep and old, so you would need quite some time and efforts to get rid of it. So, electrolysis method is better, for this particular task, as for me
@@YouCanTelevision Well. It was a joke to some extent. You have the right to use any method. You got my like anyway.
Thanks a lot for commenting, it's much appreciated! Please, check out my other videos!
Hydrochloric acid in dilute form works a lot faster
@@YouCanTelevision rust converter is cheap! little effort. this is a scam.
Cool video there more than one way to accomplish a task and that is what he is showing us. Grinder wheel, wire wheel, Dremel. Vinegar,etc all good methods. A lot of poison to pick from here.

Thank you so much for your positive comment!
cool idea man! but seems like too much time is involved I just use Dremel and a wire brush! thanks for sharing what do you do with the liquid? seems like you can have a cup of coffee! LOL...
Yes, cool idea about the coffee! This is where some money may be saved!))
Using a Dremel removes the rust and good metal, and the item will rust again. Using electrolysis removes rust and forms a protective coating. It is a form of "Bluing".
It can also cause hydrogen embrittlement and leaves a tough remove black stain.
Acids are best.
@@davidhandyman7571 coat the item/tool in Lanoline. Lanolin is a highly effective formulation for long-term corrosion protection on metal surfaces under extreme climatic and high humidity conditions. This product generates a lanolin film which does not dry out or wash off easily with water. A single treatment will provide protection for an indefinite period (years). The exposed area of the undercarriage should be re-treated every other year, or as needed depending on the use, and geographic region
Brick Acid is very powerful enough to deoxidise rust it will even soften hardened concrete from construction tools like trowels shovel's etc
Thank you! I did nit hear about Brick acid
E' meglio non usare acidi, è difficile poi eliminarli per impedire una nuova ossidazione. I metodi Elettrolitico e galvanico conferiscono alle superfici metalliche una specie di brunitura che impedirà le possibili future ossidazioni.@@YouCanTelevision
Grazie per la tua conoscenza!
Merci. Personnellement j'utilise un chargeur de batterie 12 v et des cristaux de soude.
Merci pour votre commentaire! L'adaptateur secteur de mon ordinateur portable est également de 12 volts. Bonne chance dans votre travail!
@@YouCanTelevision Ah, j'ai cru que c'était du 220v dans l'électrolyse ! ^^
VERY helpful

what did you do with all the hazardous waste that was generated doing this??
I got rid of it properly
Nagyon jó az ötlet csak a faszültsége nagysága hiányzik hogy hány volt 12 volt vagy elég a 9 volt ampert nemkérdezem mart az már csipkedi a vízbe nyúlásnál de ahoz elég a feszültség mentesítjük?
Helló! A laptop adaptere 12 V feszültséget termel. Ez elég ahhoz, hogy a módszer működjön

You need to use the Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda...better than salt or regular baking soda from all accounts...it can be harder to find.
Thank you, but this type of soda won't be available in all countries)
I do horseshoe art and get a lot of nasty used shoes. After getting the crud and old nails out. I use a plastic tote and about 3" of 2% white vinegar with a battery charge on manual. Get a foamy 2-3" layer of rust percolating up from the H.
Thank you for describing your work experience. Very interesting! Thank you for watching my videos!
Se inverti le Polarizzazioni e metti un pezzo di rame o altro metallo puoi fare l'esatto contro anziché togliere uno strato di metallo più sovrappeso per cromate o ricoprire di uno strato di altro materiale..si chiama elettro foresi
Super! Grazie per la tua aggiunta!
O si, ma se poi lo spazzoli, viene via.
Well yes it did work, kind of, but a good scrub on a bench grinder or an angle grinder with a wire brush attachment would have given better results in less than a quarter of the time, the method used here is also used for putting anodising coating on metal and galvanising too, you can also use this method to Nickel or copper plate metal. If this guy wanted to retain a black looking finish on the spanner,he could have cleaned it with a powered wire brush as previously stated but then put it into the saltwater solution and turned his transformer on and that would have given that dark finish but a lot neater.
Thanks for your input! ❤️
Hi,
leave 24 h in cheap vinegar, then clean with a pan cleaner (steel-wool). Same result :-)
I do horseshoe art and get a lot of used shoes that are really nasty. After manually cleaning all the crud off, I throw them in a plastic tote and use good old 2% vinegar and electrolysis to clean the rust off. I've got pictures of about a 3" high layer of rust from a batch. Also, I bend them and weld them and none crack. They are made of very ductile steels.
nice wrench
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I go in the next
hardware store
and take an *NEW*
Wrench instead of risking my life! ❤
Perdón mi ignorancia, me podrías decir que es el objeto al que unes el cable rojo???
Gracias 🇦🇷
???????
¡Hola! ¡Gracias por ver mis videos con tanta atención! Conecté el cable rojo a un trozo de mi mancuerna. Esta pieza está hecha de hierro. Aquí solo necesitas llevar cualquier cosa hecha de hierro
We used vinegar to get rust out from a AC cover. Does anyone know if breathing rust is dangerous?
Soak in Brick acid & it will come out spotless rins it clean then apply a coat of oil
The rust on this wrench is so old, so I think, just soaking it in acid will not be enough to remove it completely
To anyone who does this at home, be sure to do it in a well ventilated area, as running current through salt water generates both hydrogen and chlorine gas. I made the mistake of doing this in my bedroom the first time. Definitely not a fun experience. Great video overall!
Thank you for sharing your experience, yes, doing this in a well ventilated room or on an open air is the best advice! Always take all safety measures when doing any kind of works
@@YouCanTelevision That's so great! I learned many great tips from your creative videos

You need to use a power supply that is not designed as a battery charger. Chargers usually require battery to be hooked up to provide current, otherwise it won't work. A power supply instead is a much better option - 12v, 5A approximately should do the trick. Another thing to mention is a phenomenon known as Hydrogen Embrittlement. This is a result of the electrolysis and the small Hydrogen bubbles forming on the metal. These bubbles sip through the small molecular cracks of the metal, making it more brittle. To mitigate this, the metal should be baked for a few hours on temp of around 200 degrees C, in order to reduce the risk of cracking.
Thank you for such a deep knowledge of the matter!
That's so great! I learned many great tips from your creative videos

If you repeat the cycle, will it eventually return to original condition?
I doubt this can happen...)) Just leave the wrench in the water for some time and it will return to the original condition. You won't even need electricity for this)
You mean REVERSE the cycle ? Haven't tried that yet...
The voltage is 240 v or less?
I connect the laptop adapter to 220V voltage, but the adapter in its turn produces 12 volts
Personally, I prefer 30% HNO3 and 10 minutes at most... Better effect, but not everyone has such reagents.
Thank you for your addition
Nitric acid is not found at "the walmark"
I'm thinking it would be very wise to remember to unplug it before takilng the items out of the water.
Your input makes sence!
12 volts will tickle a little but it won't knock you on your ass.
What is the thick disc? A magnet? I assume that your electrical source is DC current Electrolysis needs DC current.
This disc is just a metal ring from my dumbbell. I just use electricity from my home socket
Esta bueno el video, solo un par de detalles a comentar sin querer desprestigiar el mismo. Sería conveniente que le avisara a la gente que no valla a tocar el agua porque la llave la van usar para abrir las puerta del cielo, segundo seria conveniente ponerle cables de mayor calibre asi calientan mucho y podrian provocar un incendio sumado a lo que vas a pagar de luz,( saldria mas barato una llave nueva) y de ultima si lo quieren hacer coloquenle una lampara de 100watt incandescente en serie como "carga" (asi se les va a recalentar el enchufe), solo sugiero para cosas que el el oxido este por dentro y no se pueda acceder vale la pena,
Cual es el votaje o. Amperaje del cargador?
El adaptador de mi computadora portátil tiene 12 voltios; es un adaptador normal para una computadora portátil vieja
Good
Thanks a lot for commenting!
I would have cleaned it on my bench grinder with a wire wheel, 10 mins. But a good idea all the same.
Thanks for commenting! Yes, a wire wheel would be quicker
A drill with a wire brush and you leave it sparkling in 3 minutes...
In fact, a drill with a wire brush will not remove rust as easily as this electrolysis method. Especially with parts with many edges. But you can combine these two methods - first, using electricity, remove the main layer of rust, and then use a metal brush to polish the metal until it shines
Muy buen y educativo video You can!
¡Gracias por ver y comentar mis videos!
What are you doing with the remaining liquids?
Just dispose. Someone here proposed to drink it instead of coffee, but I do not think is would be a tasty drink)) (do not try this at home))
Drinking it
Here in California it’s considered hazardous waste.
After treatment, in 3 months, will the key rust again? 🤔
It depends on how you would preserve it from rust
Ciao ottimo video, che vuol dire x6 ..x20?
Ciao! Grazie per aver posto questa domanda! Ciò significa che questo segmento del video viene accelerato di 6 o 20 volte
Cool!
Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️
po prostu geniusz
Dziękuję za pozytywny komentarz! Jest dla mnie bardzo cenny! Powodzenia!
I use a sand blaster. This brings significantly better results
Yes, this is one of the methods, if you have the proper equipment, of course
I have many unit spana crosion how can clean up fast by using which teknic 😮
This technic is quite effective
Salt could make chlorine or chlorates. Best to use baking soda or citric acid.
Thank you for your input!
Sodium Carbonate (washing soda) works best.
Yes soda - No acid
Cosa suggerisci per rimuovere la ruggine dalle doghe arrugginite di diverse persiane in ferro verniciato?
Non posso certo mettere le persiane in una bacinella
In questo caso, è necessario utilizzare un metodo meccanico per rimuovere la ruggine utilizzando una spazzola metallica. Con le mani o con una spazzola metallica rotonda a forma di attacco su un trapano
Sandstrahlen lassen gibt genug Betriebe die so was anbieten.
Ja, ich stimme Ihnen zu, dies ist eine der Methoden zur Rostreinigung
Poggiando sul pavimento delle barre di legno, di opportuna lunghezza e altezza, stendendo sulle stesse un robusto telo di plastica, si può creare una vasca provvisoria che conterrà l'acqua sufficiente a ricoprire il manufatto.
Elettrolisi ho fatto un ascia con disegno del teschio con questa tecnica
Questo è fantastico! L'elettrolisi è un miracolo della scienza! Grazie per il tuo commento!
Or, just use a wire brush, then wipe with a film of light oil and buff. Much faster.
also, use the correct metals if you use electrolysis... works better.
Non ho capito cosa è quel tondino di ferro. Grazie

Estoy de acuerdo con usted. Pero puedes utilizar este método para limpiar otras piezas oxidadas con geometrías complejas
What voltage are you running through it?
I think the adapter reduces the regular voltage to 12V

Yes, I understand. Your way of solving such problems is good for the modern economy. Thank you for commenting my video!
Ja aber einen alten Motorrad Tank z. b können sie nicht einfach Neu kaufen
Ja, ich stimme dir zu
Oxalic acid solution or even cleaning vinegar gives the same result. Just not quite as quickly.
Yes, I have a video on the channel showing how I remove rust from the same wrench with the help of vinegar and soda
I would go at something like that with an angle grinder with a wire wheel on it.
Ich entferne Rost ohne diese Sauerei. Mit Drahtbürste und Flex geht es zig mal schneller. Ich hätte gehofft, dass der Schlüssel blank wie Edelstahl herausgeholt wird😰😭
Ich stimme dir nicht zu. Die Reinigung mit einer Drahtbürste erfordert viel Aufwand und Zeit. In diesem Fall ist alles so einfach wie möglich. Ich habe diesen Vorgang 30 Minuten lang beibehalten. Wenn Sie ihn länger durchführen, kann die Reinigung stärker sein
The wrench probably works one size bigger now 😅❤
🤣🤣🤣
just use white vinegar over night without using electric, save power for other uses!
Thanks for your input. Yes, I am aware of this method. I did remove the rust on the same wrench with the help of vinegar and soda mixture. You can find this video on my channel!
I use my battery charger but this is a great idea.
Thanks for your commenting! Yes, this time everyone has an old unnecessary laptop and its adapter can be of service still
Un taladro con cepillo de alambre y la dejas reluciente en 3 minutos...
Déjame no estar de acuerdo contigo. De hecho, un taladro con cepillo de alambre no eliminará el óxido tan fácilmente como este método de electrólisis. Pero puedes combinar estos dos métodos: primero, usando electricidad, elimina la capa principal de óxido y luego usa un cepillo de metal para pulir el metal hasta que brille.
And what about the voltage ⚡ normal 12volt 4Amp
Yes, this is the standard voltage of a laptop adapter
What voltage?
Normal voltage of a notebook adapter is 12 volts
simplement trempé dans du vinaigre une j = meilleur résulta
You should specify how many volts the charger is providing.
Usually a standard laptop charger provides 12V
I just done that with my welder.
You that you can have done that a can WD40 and wire brush on a drill !! I have done it that way and it come's out a lot cleaner .
Yes, both methods are workable. Thanks for your input! ❤️❤️❤️
Does it work on chrome
I am afraid, no. But you need to consult a specialist before trying
... and it will rust again very quickly.
of course, further rust protection is needed
In the video captions, you didn't specify the round object. I saw the captions for water and salt, as well as the old computer power cable, but you didn't put anything for the round object. It appears to be a magnet.
Hello! thank you for watching my videos so attentively! The round object is just a piece of iron, not a magnet. This is a part of my dumbbell
در آبکاری طلا سازی هم استفاده میشه
جالب هست! ای کاش می توانستم این آزمایش را با طلا امتحان کنم!
Ademas de la sal,le puso otra cosa?
No, no agregué nada más que sal. Hice todo como se muestra en el video.
gracias por responder ,@@YouCanTelevision
HOUA!!!!!! il vient d'inventer le décapage électrolytique , ça marche mieux avec de la soude caustique .
Sauf que la rouille n'est pas détruite totalement .Alors question , comment faire .Mais la , c'est une combine d'armurier ?
Merci pour l'ajout ! Je pense qu'un nettoyage complet peut être réalisé en utilisant cette méthode, plus un nettoyage mécanique avec une brosse métallique
Powersource?
Original power source at my home is 220V, but the notebook adapter reduces it to 12V. This means you need to take into consideration 12V

И кому хочется иметь эту всю мороку,если есть способы и быстрее и гигиеничные.
Многие используют этот метод, особенно, когда нужно очистить детали со сложной геометрией
Очень напоминает старый анекдот про дядю Васю и новый истребитель. "После сборки обработать напильником".
Also vinegar mix with baking soda remove rust: good job :
Yes, it does! I made a video on that, you can check it out on my channel
This is false. Baking soda and vinegar react with each other, and neutralizes one another. Vinegar itself will be fine enough as a weak acid to remove rust, though it will etch away at your metal that you want to keep.
I have a video on the channel where I use vinegar and citric acid to remove rust and this composition works quite well. You can check it out
yo la veo igual
