Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
What we usually refer to as tin foil is almost always aluminum foil. Aluminum is a very good conductor of heat, and aluminum foil makes a very poor insulator. The exception might be in the case of radiant energy, which it reflects well, and even better when it is polished.
There are three different ways of transferring heat. These are by radiation, conduction and convection. The sun's rays heat the surface of the earth by radiation. If you were to wrap a ice cube in Aluminium foil and place it in hot sunlight it would take longer to melt because the sun's radiation would be reflected. However if placed an ice cube wrapped in foil on a hot plate, it would melt just as quickly as if there was no foil. This is because in this case Conduction is the main way heat is passed to the cube and aluminum is a good conductor.
aluminium foil because it has the qualities of metal and tin which are good heat conservers.
Aluminum foil is opaque.
Aluminium, iron (steel), zinc. Early tin cans were soldered closed - so that includes lead as an answer. this is not a good answer
Cooking foil is like regular aluminum foil. In summary, cooking foil and tin foil alike are good conductors of heat AND electricity.
tin foil is bolth, because it is a metal so electricity goes through it and it holds heat well
Tin foil... tin Aluminum foil... aluminum :)
Tin foil, since metals are good conductors/poor insulators.
Cooking foil is like regular aluminum foil. In summary, cooking foil and tin foil alike are good conductors of heat AND electricity.
The "inside" of tin foil is the dull side. The "outside" of tin foil is the shiny side.
Tin Foil Phoenix was created in 1997.
No, tin foil is not magnetic. Tin foil is made of aluminum, which is not a magnetic material. Magnetism is a property of certain materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt.
Yes. 'Tin' foil is actually flattened out sheets of Aluminium.
Tin cans, tin foil...
To make a tin foil lightning bolt, cut out a shape of a lightning bolt from a sheet of tin foil. You can use scissors to carefully cut out the shape. Be sure to be gentle when handling the tin foil to prevent tearing.
When someone uses the term tin foil, that person is almost always talking about aluminum foil. Tin foil is an old term, and it has carried into the present where it is frequently used to mean aluminum or kitchen foil. Bon appétit!
