All jokes about removing Rust or Rusty aside, this is pretty neat. I want one.

Found the original video, also in way better quality.

God damn it looks and sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Holy shit, is this real? How does this even work?
Huh, seems mods can silently change thread titles.
Does this make rust dust or what
Where does it GO

Rust is basically just oxides of the material, for example rust on iron objects is iron oxide and the green shit you see on copper roofs is copper oxide. I don't think it would be so hard to somehow break the bonds via. some form of electromagnetic stimulation or through ionization. Then again we have no idea how this works, would love a video explaining it.
Edit: What I am basically saying is that likely the iron stays iron and the oxygen is released into the air.

The rust absorbs more of the energy the laser gives off than the clean metal underneath. The rust is vaporized leaving clean reflective metal.

[quote]The innovative laser technology of our laser systems distributes thousands of focused laser pulses per second onto a contamination layer. The powerful single laser beam pulses are linearly deflected and placed adjacent to each other. Most of the laser energy is being absorbed by the surface layer and is directly transformed into thermal energy. This energy vaporizes existing contaminations and removes them effectively from the substrate. The higher the absorption factor, the faster the process.

Wonder if you could shave with that if you lowered the power output
Would have been nice if I could use it on my body.
Could use some clean up.
Seems like you'd end up cooking yourself if you tried using that for shaving.

They already use lasers to remove hair and marks on your skin.

I want ten of them.
Holy shit, could they use something like this on historical items? I mean, some things would probably be too rusted to be recoverable, but something from 200 or so years ago...
What would happen if you used in on a person
[QUOTE=WhyNott;49936776]What would happen if you used in on a person[/QUOTE]
Agonizingly agonizing agony.
So, theoretically, if you have a bucket of nothing but rust, a literal rust bucket, could you use this to make it all disappear?

Believe the Navy has been using this for a while or something along those lines. Super practical for them to use.

Hmm, actually it seems like it would burn you if you were exposed to the laser for too long. The guy in my video only did it for less than a few seconds.

Thought, you were making a Counter Strike joke, for a second
"we have just finished making our rust removing laser system after spending over 600 trillion dollars on research and development--now it is time to show it to the world! Go and fetch bruce in accounting, I'm sure he can shoot a nice vertical video to showcase our fantastic technology"
In the future we will de-rust bikes with lasers, and then receive blowjobs from robots.

imagine the art
"aw hell no"
My sentiments exactly

You know, I wonder what else this could remove. I mean for all practical and sane reasoning, I shouldn't be thinking this, but could is possible remove fingerprints from things?

Sure, but so can a damp cloth.
Unless you mean "remove a person's fingerprints right off their fingers" because it can probably do that too.

It's harmless on skin.
