Why does bro kinda sound like Saul?
I enjoy that people are pointing out that rust would make it heavier but something i wish people pointed out is how you turned your cleaning vinegar (approx 1:1 ratio acetic acid to water) into white vinegar (approx 10% acetic acid)
somethings not right if the rust makes up 5 pounds of the gross weight, idk who started that rumor XD
Wait, Ounce is a mass unit and a volume unit at the same time?
The imperial system is dumb 💀
Right before you hit a PR:
Yo let’s clean the plates guys
Get a cheap sand blaster
Still don’t understand gymheads shitting themselves over a kilo this or that way.
It has to. You’re removing rust. Is this a Gen z science question cause it is beyond dumb.
I would have used electrolysis on it then after you were done we’re brushing it I would just left it alone because it makes it a black color you can use even just salt water in a 12-volt battery
I dont understand english they so affraid of n word but still viniger is a word
hey 3.5 ounces of some things can last you a while
I like how he adds kilograms unit
"if you didn’t paint it, it would be lighter"
Well fucking yeah because he took the paint off and paint has weight. Why would you not paint it?
V what?
Boy cried cuz he did a 1:1 (water:vinegar) bath when it should’ve 100% vinegar
Tip from a chemist: citric acid works much better than vinegar.
Hmm… thinking about the process of things rusting. The chemical process involves iron atoms and oxygen molecules reacting to create iron oxide which than sticks to the iron object. Meaning that the weight of the plate actually increases as it begins to rust. Provided that non of the rust flakes off. I’d be interested to see how the weight changes from brand new to rusted over to cleaned. Basically the entire cycle.
The what bath?
Try using monster next time I bet it takes even less of. That stuffs so acidic it would prob melt your intestines if you drank too much
This is interesting and all but next time how about weighing it before putting it under the gravitational pull of the planet? That’ll probably take a pound or two off.
TRY MONSTER ENERGY 4 THE RUST
This is just clickbait. You gotta jump up and down, click your heals, do a backflip, win the winter Olympics, and strangle a water buffalo with your bare hands. Then I’ll believe you
That’s 3.1 ounces of pure gains!!! Not cleaning
I’ma just pull out wd40
Well that’s the actual weight of plate
Narrator- everyone who says that this is easier than an ankle grind is a pice of sh#%
One Thing though: angle grinder wire brush head.
many contemporary chemists believed in the phlogiston theory, if you burn metal the weight increases due to formation of iron oxide (rust) they believed this was instead substance of negative mass being burned off and removed from the metal.
And rust is actually heavier because it is oxidized which means it has more oxygen which is heavier, so when you’re lifting rusty weight, you actually lifting more weight.
Wow 3 ounces. if that’s all, repaint it after cleaning and It probably get thatback again
*WUAO* 3.1 OZ
azijn
Dude it would be lighter if you didn’t let it soak all that vinegar solution 😒
You could try electrolite
Try a citric acid bath, that’s what I use to derust metal at work…it will strip all of it off
now you must do this with the laser gun and report back to us the results.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the amount it lessens is to f ing low to have a effect
Not going to do much to the weight. But if you inhale enough air you can lose up to 20 lbs
Restoring it can include painting it
One thing social media taught me is that people always think that they know more than the actually do. Thank you for doing these experiments to show the truth behind processes like these
Another thing you might could try is something used in firearm restoration all the time: boiling. Yeah, just boil it in water and the red iron oxide will be converted into black iron oxide, otherwise known as bluing. You will have to make several passes, and you might also have to re-oxidize the surface with easy to make chemicals, but it shouldn’t lose too much weight, and it’ll already have a rust-resisting coating over it when you’re done. Backyard Ballistics is a great source for the process and science behind it.
If you’re nitpicking over a few ounces, you’re doing it wrong and shouldn’t be lifting.
Bro got angry at helpful advice because he’s too weak to manually scrub 😂
at first glance i thought you put it on a ps4😂
i really dont understand how these plates are getting rusted to begin with.
If it loses weight then just paint it again to add weight and prevent rust.
Aye I’m the 700th comment
Ik you don’t care
Put 2 layers of plastic dip on and see if it adds weight back on
Only sandblasting is easier than the angle grinder
Weight rarely doesnt matter
If you have a hard time lifting it, its good enough
