you use a strong material like wood and then put the tin foil over it, so it is waterproof because if you did not put a waterproof material on it would absorb the water and sink.

aluminum foil is going to be the worst insulater, paper is a good insulater but not the best, so the best is cotton.
Three basic materials that can be used to build a solar cooker are cardboard, aluminum foil, and glass. Cardboard serves as the structural framework, while aluminum foil reflects sunlight to enhance heating. A sheet of glass can be used to create a greenhouse effect, trapping heat inside the cooker. Together, these materials can effectively harness solar energy for cooking.
Aliminium (I think)
Depending on your religious background, either God created aluminum or nothing/nobody did. It's naturally occurring and the most common metal in the earth's crust. Unfortunately, it's never found as the free metal as it reacts readily with other chemicals in the earth. It's most commonly found in the ore called bauxite. If you mean, "who coined the name aluminum as a pure form of the metal?", then Humphry Davy did this in 1808. By the way, I'm British, so I really do spell aluminum this way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That above answer is incorrect the metal foil has been around for centuries. Foil is solid metal that has been reduced to a leaf-like thinness by beating or rolling. The first mass-produced and widely-used foil was made from tin. Tin was later replaced by aluminum in 1910, when the first aluminum foil rolling plant "Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen." was opened in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.The plant, owned by J.G. Neher & Sons (aluminum manufacturers) started in 1886 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, at the foot of the Rhine Falls - capturing the falls' energy to produce aluminum. Neher's sons together with Dr. Lauber discovered the endless rolling process and the use of aluminum foil as a protective barrier. From there began the wide use of aluminum foil in the packaging of chocolate bars and tobacco products. Processes evolved over time to include the use of print, color, lacquer, laminate and the embossing of the aluminum.Reference: http://inventors.about.com/od/astartinventions/a/FamousInvention.htm
No, mylar foil and aluminum foil are not the same. Mylar foil is made from polyester film, while aluminum foil is made from aluminum. They have different properties and are used for different purposes.
Aluminum foil over plasticine.
Aluminum is element. Aluminum foil is made entirely of aluminum.
Aluminum foil is made of Aluminum, which is an element. So yes Aluminum foil is a element
Aluminum foil is made of aluminum metal.
Tin foil... tin Aluminum foil... aluminum :)
Because all aluminum foil is not equal. Aluminum foil is available in a variety of thicknesses.
Only a single component makes up aluminum foil, which is the aluminum element. Hence, aluminum foil is considered as a pure substance.
Shut up....iron is an aluminum foil
No, aluminum foil does not contain nickel. Aluminum foil is made of aluminum, while nickel is a different metal with its own unique properties.
The scientific name for foil is aluminum foil, which is made of thin sheets of aluminum.
