What is the thickness of heavy duty aluminum foil?
0.005
Which insulates heat the most paper cotton or aluminum foil?
aluminum foil is going to be the worst insulater, paper is a good insulater but not the best, so the best is cotton.
Who created aluminum?
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
How do you build a cargo ship out of aluminum foil that is sturdy?
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.
How do you get rid of water in a basement?
First you need to find out where the water is coming from. If the block or cement walls are exposed, tape a 12 inch by 12 inch piece of aluminum foil to one of the outside walls (tape all 4 sides sealing the aluminum foil to the wall). After a day or 2 remove the aluminum foil from the wall. If the inside of the aluminum foils is damp but the back side (the side against the block or cement wall) is dry you have a condensation problem and good dehumidifier should solve the problem.If the block or cement wall side of the aluminum foil is wet but the inside is not you have a seepage problem. The water on the outside of the wall builds up until the hydrostatic pressure is great enough and the water then seeps through the block or enters where the floor and wall meet. This can be solved by using an above floor baseboard system to drain the water to a sump pump or drain. Waterproof.com has an above floor basement waterproofing system that you can install yourself for around $4 per foot.Read more: Why_basement_is_sometimes_wet
Which keeps things colder plastic warp or aluminum foil?
aluminum foil
What keeps water colder aluminum foil or plastic wrap?
aluminum foil
What keeps things colder plastic wrap or aluminum foil hypothesis?
aluminum foil
What is worse for the environment plastic or aluminum foil?
Plastic!!!!!!!!!! Aluminum recycles, but most plastics do not.
What keeps things colder-plastic wrap or aluminum foil?
Aluminum foil is better at keeping things colder compared to plastic wrap. This is because aluminum is a better insulator and can reflect heat more effectively than plastic wrap.
What keeps thing hotter plastic wrap aluminum foil or wax paper?
Aluminum foil is the best at keeping things hot because it reflects heat and acts as a barrier to prevent heat loss. Plastic wrap and wax paper are not as effective in retaining heat as aluminum foil.
Which would melt first aluminum or iron?
The rate at which water freezes depends on the thermal conductivity of the container. Plastic is generally not very thermally conductive, whereas aluminum foil is more thermally conductive. Thus, as long as the foil is not very much thinner than the plastic, the water will freeze faster in the foil.
Which traps the most heat aluminum foil plastic wrap or wax paper?
Aluminum foil traps the most heat among aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and wax paper. This is because aluminum foil is a better conductor of heat compared to plastic wrap and wax paper. When food is wrapped in aluminum foil, it reflects and retains heat more effectively, keeping the food warmer for longer periods.
Which protects fruit longer plastic wrap or aluminum foil?
I think it is aluminum because its metal and bugs can go threw plastic 0_o
What is in aluminum foil or plastic wrap that thing cold?
Aluminium foil or plastic wrap insulate the heat of the wrapped up material.
Which keeps things colder plastic wrap or aluminum foil data?
It would definitely have to be plastic wrap because plastic wrap is an insulator, which aluminum is not.
Why does electricity flow through aluminum foil better?
It flows through aluminum foil better because electricity flows throw aluminum or metal better then plastic or other
