Why does aluminum foil burn in a microwave but not in the oven?

Why does aluminum foil burn in the microwave but not in the oven?

Aluminum foil doesn’t actually burn in the microwave. What you are seeing is called the "electro-magnetic effect." Microwaves travel as particles called photons, and when those photons hit your aluminum, they collide with the aluminum atoms and create extra electrons. Now, in larger pieces of metal, like a fork or a thermos, these electrons are distributed throughout the bulk of the object, but on thin pieces of conductive metals, like aluminum foil or gold plating, these electrons quickly build up a significant electric charge. What happens next is the same thing that happens when you drag your sock feet across the carpet in the winter and shock someone with the static charge. Sparks begin jumping from one part of the foil to another, or from the foil to the microwave itself. These sparks can cause a fire and ruin your microwave oven, to say nothing of your poor baked potato. Conventional ovens do not use microwaves, but rather just heat up the foil. Aluminum won’t catch fire no matter how hot you get it, although it will eventually melt. But it is unlikely that your conventional oven will ever become that hot.

Does aluminum foil on the window really work for keeping the heat out of a room?

Posted by admin on May 26th, 2010 and filed under aluminum | 15 Comments »

I’ve heard and seen people put aluminum foil on their windows but no one has said if it really keeps the heat out. Does this work and how much/layers do you need to put up?

I’m not sure about heat.. But it definitly keeps he Aliens out (from outerspace.. not the illegal ones from mexico)

How much does the aluminum in a coke can weight?

Posted by admin on May 23rd, 2010 and filed under aluminum | 3 Comments »

I’m doing a case study on Coke and the aluminum that it uses for its cans. The problem is, I can’t find how much aluminum Coke uses annually nor how much a can weights. If someone knows exactly what these answers are, it would be a huge help! Or if you know where I can find these answers, that would help as well. I looked on Coke’s website and it didn’t have any answers. Thanks!

" In one year the Coca-Cola Company uses over 240 billion aluminum cans worldwide. "

i know that Diet Coke cans float in water and normal coke sinks.
i dont know if it has to do with aluminum or the contents of the can.

You should Google it… i bet you would find alot of information. I found these pages…

How dangerous is burnt aluminum foil?

Posted by admin on May 19th, 2010 and filed under aluminum | 2 Comments »

I recently burned aluminum foil with some cheese (while making a stromboli). Now, when I opened the oven, smoke poured out – due in part to the cheese, no doubt. I was wondering if there is any danger to temporary exposure to this smoke (specifically, the danger of any aluminum compounds in the smoke). Thanks!

Absolutely no danger. Materials don’t give off gasses until they reach the point at which the liquid turns to a gas. Your aluminum foil has not even turned to liquid yet, let alone to a gas. No problem
