Galvanizing As explained using mrt passengers

Hmmm for those who dunno Galvanizing, it normally refers to the prevention of corrosion of steel by placing a coating of zinc, which prevents the galvanic corrosion.. also known as sacrificial protection.

Anyway.... me and yisi were talking about it on the train. and i was telling him.. that i cant really see how galvanizing works lor... Just by having a piece of zinc nearby.. the steel near the area gets protected... just doesnt make sense ma... so i quote him the example...

"Imagine a crazy guy walks into the train cabin with a gun wanting to kill anyone... but instead of shooting the guy nearest to him.. he walks to the centre and shoot you."

Maybe that piece of zinc.. wanted to be hero.. and ask to corrode himself instead of the piece of steel????? Nah.. dun think it's possible

Well.. but it is in fact due to the forming of zinc oxide which acts a barrier la... well.. not everything make sense to everyone i guess...

how about, the crazy guy walks into the train with a gun, then he sees a pretty girl standing near the pole, so he decided to "attack" a different target.

:P
