http://lifehacker.com/5272712/turn-a-five-gallon-bucket-into-a-rust-removal-tank
This project relies on a few simple components—a five gallon bucket, some pieces of rebar or other narrow steel, a trickle battery charger, and some wire—and a washing soda/water solution to create an energized solution that's really tough on rust. The simple summary of how it works: you clip the negative charging lead to the item to be cleaned, the positive to the rebar, and then hit the juice and watch as the combination of electricity and washing-soda-laced water channel the rust right off your tool and towards the rebar anode.

i like it, but i wonder if it works that well. I got a battery charger if anyone feels like flirting with electrocuting themselves.

You are going to give up your 'nipple shocking time' with your battery charger in order for other people to clean their rust.
i'm so bored that death might be exciting
