It is not aluminum, it only appears metallic. It is a polymer plastic and when heated the molecular structure changes, causing it to shrink and deform.
shrivel
you shrivel because the water you were in is probably not a saline solution... basically there is salt in your body and if you are in the water for a long time, your skin will shrivel to make up the difference between how much salt is in your cells and how much is in the water
Aluminum.
. ambot ?
It would be somewhere between difficult and impossible to find a household in the U.S. that didn't have something aluminum in it. Lots of trim for windows is made of aluminum. Certainly it has its place in the kitchen where pots and pans are made of this fine conductor of heat. Wiring used to be made of aluminum, but, though it is a good conductor of electricity, it is prone to corrosion and some other negative effects. Lots of aluminum is used in electronics, and your computer, if all the aluminum were removed from it, would lack things like capacitors, disks in the hard drive and some other components or assemblies that would make your computer inoperable. And completely so. The heat exchangers in household refrigerators have aluminum fins. The list goes on.
Aluminum is a good conductor of heat - so it's probably not the best material to make a planter out of, especially if used in direct sunlight. The only way this might be feasible is if you used the aluminum planter as a cache pot, with a plastic pot inside it.
Cotton and aluminum foil, as long as it isn't going around a heat source.
the answer is that you would need 1,000,000 to make it into the same amount of recycled aluminum.
Heat it up to above 660.32 °C (melting point)
Shrivel.
It takes 15kWh to make 1 kg of aluminum. it takes 15g of aluminum to make one can. This is about 225w*h of energy, which is enough energy to power your average desktop computer for a little less than an hour.
It would die. This is because plants use light to make food for them selves so putting it in a dark area would mean it would have no light so it would shrivel and die.
