Rust Removal

Introduction-When hand tools, automobiles, or virtually any other metal device is left in the open air, eventually it will corrode and form rust. Rust is caused by the combination of oxygen and iron (4Fe + 3O= 2FeO). Rusty metal is a problem because it often renders the metal useless or just plain ugly. My love of antique (and cheap) cars has brought me face to face with the decimating powers of rust. I have purchased a 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook, which has received no restoration, body-work, or love in the past 4 decades, and as the Alaskan winter provides plenty of moisture for an old car to build rust. This classic car was covered with corrosion. 

By testing different methods of removing rust the most effective method may be discovered. After researching various ways of rust removal many factory produced and homemade remedies were found and four different methods will be tested in this experiment. Basic research not only produced a variety of rust removing methods, it also provided the prices of a variety of rust removers as well of a list of some of the most commonly used products.

 The first method of rust removal involves soaking the rusted metal in Rust-Eze rust remover, a factory produced remover designed for “tuff rust” specifically on the body of automobiles. This method will be used as a control as industrial removers are the most common method of rust eradication.

Now for the homegrown rust removers. Naval jelly is allegedly an effective rust remover, as well as molasses; these two will also be tested. The most unique rust remover found while researching was electrolysis. By applying direct current through the negative electrode to the rusty piece of metal submerged in a solution of water and baking powder, the rust was rumored to fly off of the metal piece to a sacrificial anode attached to the positive electrode.

This experiment will hopefully provide information useful to anyone wishing to remove rust, whether on an abused vehicle or household tools left under a winters-worth of snow. By providing an honest review of the different rust removing techniques I hope to save money and time of those who see the value of the old or forgotten.

Question: Which rust removing method is most effective and monetarily efficient?

Hypothesis: Due to my research, I predict that Rust-Eze will remove the most rust, but that electrolysis will be the most cost efficient way of removing rust.

Materials

·      12volt Battery charger

·      1 Gallon Rust-Eze

·      20 inches of re-bar

·      16 oz naval jelly

·      16 oz molasses

·      4- 5 gallon buckets

·      Recording devices (pens)

·      Rusty car parts

·      Data tables

·      10 Tbs. Baking powder

·      Access to tap water

Procedure:

1.     Find a location outdoors yet unexposed to the elements, as many of these products and methods produce harmful or irritating gases.

2.     Number the buckets 1-4

3.     Fill one bucket with Rust-Eze solution

4.     Fill one bucket with molasses

5.     Fill one bucket with 4 gallons tap water

6.     Put 2 tablespoons of baking powder per gallon (8 tablespoons) of water in the bucket of water.

7.     In this same bucket attach the positive clip of the battery charger to the piece of rebar, submerge the rebar in the solution making sure that the clip of the battery charger is out of the solution.

8.     Attach the negative clip to the rusty piece of metal and submerge this piece as well, again being sure that the clip is out of the solution

9.     Fill one bucket with naval jelly

10.  Submerge similar pieces of metal (both in corrosion and size) in each bucket

11.  Turn on the battery charger

12.  4 hours take the metal out of the solutions and record results.

13.  Repeat steps 1-12 4 times

what the thunder said (322-358)

What the thunder said- the first section (lines 322-358)

Links to the previous poem: Elliot uses a few different motifs throughout his poem, and most of these are included in the closing chapter. The color red and rocks relates back to the red rock, which was the only shelter. Also is the lack of water, symbolic of religious belief or faith. Furthermore, the barren landscape the speaker appears in lacks all form of love or compassion, it is strictly harsh and forbidding-a wasteland.
The first paragraph of the section is all remembering the tragic loss of a city or sacred place; this also ties into the last half of this section. “Falling towers Jerusalem Athens Alexandria Vienna London” It says that after the war has been fought, and the silence falls over the ruined city, and after the prisons has been destroyed. The thunder is plains or artillery of some kind shelling the ruins. Everyone is already dead, those who are left, are simply dying with patience, this line is hilarious.
The second paragraph refers to the lack of water, and the abundance of rock. Mountains and mountains of rock, but without water. By making the connection that water is a symbol of faith and religion, perhaps rock is a symbol of everything earthly and meaningless. Such as money, technology, and the infrastructure we surround ourselves with. Red is again used in the paragraph to describe the faces sneering from beneath “mud cracked houses” mud of course cracks when it looses all of its water. This is a great image of how society crumbles without fate.
The third set is in my opinion the most interesting in the entire poem. Elliot uses the sound of the words to attempt to create a drip dropping patter with words. The words are that of someone seeing a shimmering mirage among the craggy rocks, rushing toward it only to realize his folly. He again refers to the cicada from earlier paragraphs, retaining his flower motif.

i got the blues... deh nah ner nah nah

MICKEY GUESS WHAT THIS POEM IS ABOUT!!!
Woke up this morning, at the crack o dawn
Woke up this morning ate my gruel at dawn
Foreman Tom say the 23 of us got-a mow the lawn

Sally got me high, she let me scape my chains
Sally made a man fly, like he could break his chains
Sally was a woman who had heart and brains

Couldn’t sleep well, got a hole in my cot
Couldn’t sleep well, I got rats in the cot
I coulda gone out side, but like sally id get shot

But Sally ran at sunset, and they shot her dead
But Sally fled at sunset, got her now she’s dead
Sally had no rats or holes, I could take her bed
I hope I get the extra dish, for that 23rd head

Paradox: A paradox can be an apparently true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition; or it can be, seemingly opposite, an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth (cf. Koan)

Example: Aesop tells the tale of a traveler who sought refuge with a Satyr on a bitter winter night. On entering the Satyrs lodging, he blew on his fingers, and was asked by the Satyr why he did it. "to warm them up" he explained. Later, on being served a piping-hot bowl of porridge, he blew also on it, and again was asked why he did it. "too cool it off" he explained. The Satyr thereupon thrust him out of doors, for he would have nothing to do with a man who could blow hot and cold with the same breath.

Function: Aesop uses this paradox to reinforce a humorous tone in a story. It would seem impossible to anyone who is un-educated to blow hot and cold in one breath, so the use of a paradox also criticizes the intelligence of the Satyr. The paradox also forces you to think about why it can be true and untrue at the same time, in ways that perhaps you never have before.

Failure?

Society shackled tongue avoids me
Woe, I was beaten before I began
God Damn it, I can Not write po’etry

To these pale lips comes no irony
Always, a road more taken kind of man
Society shackled tongue avoids me

Faced with Form, ghastly tone or imagery
I should have kissed the river, or ran
God Damn it, I can Not write po’etry

Rhythm escapes me, rhyme I can not see
Artistic allusions fill just this hand
Society shackled tongue avoids me

Impossible to write poetically
To those stupid few who say that I can
Society Shackled tongue avoids me
God Damn it, I can Not write (good) po’etry

This villanelle form poem is about over coming doubt in your life.
