Could you make an ion generator with copper wire and aluminum foil?

Because there is no source of electromagnetic energy in those two substances and the substances are not reactive with themselves or each other, there is no way to build any kind of generator. However, with copper wire and a magnet, you could build a small electric generator by wrapping the copper wire into an oblong solenoid and placing the magnet at a fixed position nearby, then rotating the copper wire on its axis in the presence of the magnet. This will generate a current in the copper wire. In order to generate actual ions of any sort, that will depend on the type, charge, and concentration of ions desired. Because ions are generally not stable in uncontrolled environments, it is unlikely that any kind of ion could be generated in quantities much greater than the autoionization of water produces.

Does foil conduct electricity?
If it's a metallic foil, it will conduct electricity in most cases. Aluminum, copper, gold, etc.
Is metal made of aluminium foil?
Aluminum foil is a type of metal. Steel, iron, copper, aluminum.. all of those are metals.
What element is found commonly in foil?
Either Tin (Sn) or Aluminum (Al) are used in foil wrap. Hope this helps!
Does aluminum foil stick to magnet?
No, aluminum is not a magnetic material. But you could shape the aluminum foil into a coil, then pass a current through it and then it would be an electromagnet.
How thick is 10mil in sheet copper I need to relate it to something I can understand like aluminum foil?
1 mil is 0.001 inches. So 10mil is 0.01 inches thick. I believe aluminum foil is about 0.5mil, so 10mil is approximately as thick as 20sheets of aluminum foil.

Physical change copper chloride aluminum foil experiment?
It's a chemical change. The aluminum foil is rusting, which cannot be undone, meaning that this is a chemical change, not a physical. Physical changes can be reversed.
Is a aluminum foil a compound or elements?
Aluminum is element. Aluminum foil is made entirely of aluminum.
