Corrosion in Motion Golden Gate Bridge

Doncha just love student project videos?

At least it looks like these kids might actually have been at the Golden Gate Bridge for some of their filming. And while their special effects aren't exactly on a professional level just yet, they gave the monster attacks, earthquakes, and explosions a good, college (or high school) try.

They do a decent job explaining why the iron oxidizes, including a pretty thorough writing of the chemical reaction of the rusting of iron. They also show a cross-section of what galvanizing layers look like and what reactions work within the galvanizing.

The video does end a bit abruptly, but it's not a bad effort. I'd be impressed if my students produced this video. Maybe this'll be something to work toward for next year.
