Скачать или смотреть Does the Eiffel Tower Rust? Spoiler: Yes, It Can Happen

The Eiffel Tower is made of 300 meters of iron, and yet over time, it hasn't rusted—at least that's how it seems to us. So why hasn't it become covered in rust? The Eiffel Tower, built in 1889 for the Universal Exhibition in Paris to showcase France's industrial capabilities and power, has been periodically repainted with an anti-rust paint that protects it from oxidation for more than a century. In this video, we have decided to talk about the maintenance of the Eiffel Tower, explain why it hasn't rusted in over 130 years, and why it has deteriorated in recent times.
