I always wondered how the aluminum foil was made until I learned from this video WOW that was awesome to see how the aluminum foil was made.

[@Morfi333]

amazing to see how industrial production works. so much hardware is used and steps taken to end up as a product that is then sold in retail for merely $4 a box

[@aqwsderxz]

it used to be 0.24€ here few years ago now 3€

[@rhysthomas5811]

In 1910, the first aluminium foil rolling plant, Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie. was opened in Emmishofen, Switzerland. The plant, owned by J.G. Neher & Sons, the aluminium manufacturers, was founded in 1886 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, at the foot of the Rhine Falls, In 1911, Bern-based Tobler began wrapping its chocolate bars in aluminium foil, including the unique triangular chocolate bar, Toblerone.[6] The first use of foil in the United States was in 1913 for wrapping Life Savers, candy bars, and gum

Overall informative, but a factual error at the beginning makes me wonder about the care they put into things. Stated the first company (or early one anyway) was “The Reynolds Aluminum company” FALSE. “Reynolds Aluminum “ is the product, the company was “Reynolds Metals company”. I worked there, Richmond VA headquarters, for 2 years. Eventually bought out by Alcoa; but that’s another story. Also, I had been taught the shiny/flat sides of AL sheets were caused by the need to run 2 sheets together for strength; the video correctly discusses strength problems, but I thought attributed shiny/flat to different rollers. Dunno, as I never verified my “teaching”. Notwithstanding criticism here, AL is fascinating and there’s lots of interesting info here.

[@steveskouson9620]

Your statement of the shiny and dull sides, is spot on. The shiny side, touches the rollers. The dull side is pressed against the other sheet. ( I saw a 'Tube video, said the dull side was against the rollers. Wrong.) steve

I recycle thousands of aluminum cans as well as scrap aluminum pieces (pie pans, radiators, cooking pans ect) every month so it was interesting to see the process for making foil......

[@petergibson2318]

Buckingham Palace in England used Aluminium knives and forks at banquets during the 1890s. It was rarer and more expensive than gold and silver and was regarded as a “precious” metal because it was so difficult to make.

[@microntechnic1655]

عالی

[@TheLostBear78]

You got it wrong how the two different surface finishes come about. The foil is rolled at the final step in pairs of sheets. The outsides end up smooth because of they are against the smooth rollers. The other side is against the other sheet of foil that is rolled at the same time, so it is rougher as it just smashes into the other sheet.

[@halfabee]

I used to work for Davy Mckee who produced the computer control system which controlled the foil mill. My job was hardwear installation. Commissioning Engineer.

Haha, I caught that too. 1920's isn't quite ancient yet.

[@vinculaomega5283]

That's how you know this is American made. For many of them, history began year 1776. 100 years ago is 2/5 of the entire timeline! For the rest of us, history began sometime 4000 BC.

[@andrewmonument8847]

It's only dull on one side - and shiny on the other... because of the way it's rolled ! It eventually gets too thick to roll as a single sheet - so it's doubled over. That's what creates the shiny/dull sides.

[@kenmay1572]

Agreed and using the shiny side up or down makes no difference whatsoever

[@steveskouson9620]

And, this is NOT even mentioned here. Why? steve

[@TheSaintslive]

I don't think he used the word Aluminium that much, could have mentioned it a few more times😉

[@peachmango5347]

Not a lot of synonyms.

[@pjacobsen1000]

0:35 "Thermal insulation capabilities". Don't expect aluminum to insulate anything. It is one of the most efficient conductors of heat in existence. But it is true the shiny surface reflect radiant heat.

[@tylermcnally8232]

Which is how heat radiates. Dip sheet

[@pjacobsen1000]

@@tylermcnally8232 It's how heat radiates, yes, but it's not how heat conducts or convects, the other two ways heat can transfer.

[@richardmoss5934]

Notice also how the reader read out 3mm instead of saying 3 millimeters!!

[@ct9062]

I have to assume it's generative AI writing the scripts, I've never come across a channel with more repetitive scripts 😂 youtube keeps recommending the channel to me, and I (forgetting how bad the scripts are) keep clicking the videos, and then remember two minutes in. it's totally bizarre

How is the myth that the shiny side reflects infrared still a thing? Its not true at all. Both sides function exactly the same and the finish on the sides is just an effect from production.

[@michaelolson9647]

So if you can put back the right mix and give it the right nutrients you can regrow what you've taken from the Earth. I was talking about this with oil wells and natural gas wells. But this can be for any type of material taken from the earth. If things are done right, it can regenerate that particular molecule molecule again.

It's not aluminium??? 😱 No it is, isn't it? And it's just a misleading title...
