Forget recycling BURN IT! Create 10 times the financial value out of your old pop cans over and above what a recycling center would offer you.
Very environmentally friendly and produces no harmful emissions at all!
You can 'Burn' aluminum cans and scrap for heat and electricity?
FACTS:
• Aluminum has more energy per pound than gasoline.
• Aluminum can create heat and Hydrogen which can heat rooms or run engines.
• Yes Aluminum can be "BURNED" and the power within it can be released for use.
Aluminum May Provide Cheap Source for Hydrogen
Pellets made from aluminum and gallium can produce hydrogen when water is poured on them. Scientists at Purdue University pose that this chemical reaction might yield the most efficient way to power hydrogen fuel-cell cars.
Read these facts to keep you thinking in the months to come!
Just for fun - facts and data:
ALUMINUM DATA - (Something to think about ?????)
1 gram of Al = 0.0370 moles
Each mole Al yields 3 moles of electrons.
0.0370 moles x 3 x 96500 C/mole = 10700 Coulombs
An Amp is a Coulomb per second, so one Amp flow would last 10700s.
10700 amp-s / 3600 s/hr =~ 3 Amp-Hours per gram of aluminum.
At 14g per beer can, that comes to about 42 Amp-Hrs per can!!!
At 2 volts, that's about 300 kJ per can! And you thought only the beer kicked butt ! : )
A 20 lb. slab of aluminum has enough energy to power an electric car for over 500 miles.
It would take about 121 lbs. of gasoline (17 gallons) to do the same job in an economy car!
Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals on the surface of the earth. Aluminum is NOT rare!
Aluminum is expensive because it requires vast amounts of electrical power to deoxidize it.
All this electrical power is now caught in a solid form as Aluminum metal. (Aluminum is a powerful battery)
When aluminum is re-oxidized most of the electrical power that was used to create it is easily recaptured.
Old pop and beer cans have lots of potential horse power in a very small and light weight package.
Aluminum is produced by monster sized corporations that buy electricity at well under a penny per KWH making aluminum the largest untapped source of potential cheap power in solid form.
When you buy Aluminum you are mainly paying for the electricity was necessary to make it.
Electricity that was bought at super ultra low wholesale pricing.
All of this wholesale priced electrical power still remains inside the Aluminum IF you know how to get it back out.
AND THAT IS WHY IT IS BETTER FOR YOUR POCKET BOOK TO BURN ALUMINUM RATHER THAN RECYCLING IT, YOU MAKE THE MONEY BY CUTTING YOUR HEATING BILL DRASTICALLY!
ALUMINUM HYDROGEN IS THE ULTIMATE WAY TO HEAT A HOME. NO CO2 GAS EMISSIONS SO NO VENTILATION IS NEED.
NO VENTILATION IS NEEDED BECAUSE OF ATOMIC COLLAPSE OF OXYGEN INTO WATER AND THEN FRESH OXYGEN IS ALWAYS SUCKED IN FROM OUT SIDE OF YOUR HOME REPLENISHING IT IN A PERFECT EQUILIBRIUM! YOU COULD PUT YOUR HEATER INSIDE OF A CLOSED ROOM AND THE FLAME WOULD NEVER SUFFOCATE YOU OR DEPLETE THE OXYGEN IN THAT ROOM! AN AMAZING WAY TO HEAT ANY ROOM AND PROBABLY THE MOST FUTURISTIC, ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WAY TOO!
2Al + 3H2O = Al2O3 + 3H2 yields 197 Kcal (781 BTU) at 100° C
3H2 + 1.5 O2 = 3H2O yields 171 Kcal (678 BTU) at 100° C
1.0 Kilowatt Hours = 3,412.14 British Thermal Units (IT)
If cans weigh 15 grams each, 4 cans would yield 0.47 KWhr
