What will they come up with next? I wonder how the laser fairs against the electrolysis process, as far as being non-destructive to delicate pieces. If you watch this video to the end and the screen pops up with related vids, the one in the bottom center is an Aussie that uses water and molasses, which removes the rust without disturbing the metal, which means that very delicate, thin metal details can be saved.

Very cool. That looks like a cast-iron grate or something, I wonder how that would work on sheetmetal? It looks good for removing surface rust, but the bottom line is, rust has already eaten into the metal and regardless of how it's removed, the metal may likely still have weakened. If you can push a screwdriver through a rusty sheetmetal panel, you might be able to remove the rust with laser, but you'll still be able to push a screwdriver through it.
