I work on aircraft, and it amazes me how strong aluminum can be with the correct engineering. Sheet aluminum is very weak and floppy, but when the same sheet is ridged, bent, or dimpled, and installed, it's profoundly stronger. Aircraft design is amazing.

@johniwanaga3517 Місяць тому
Technically, it was never rare - just expensive to produce in pure form. Even after figuring out how to process the metal from ore - a cheap source of electricity was needed to make aluminum available to the masses. Coal and oil made the real difference. No other metal's price is as dependent on cheap energy.

@rickwestlake3048 Місяць тому
I'm a wee bit surprised that you didn't have more to say about the vast amount of electric power that's needed to convert alumina to the final-product metal. Essentially, electricity is a raw material for aluminum production -- direct-current, at 5 volts and 100 to 300 kilo-amps. Takes about 10 to 15 kilowatt-hours to produce one kg of aluminum.
@bernardkroeger4045 Місяць тому
Don't they colloquially refer to aluminum as solidified electricity ?
@not.likely Місяць тому
Or how the electricity consumption of aluminum refineries impacts drastically on entire economies. The average taxpayer doesn't realise how much he is subsidizing aluminum production each time he purchases his domestic kilowatt-hours. They also don't mention the fluoride fall out from the smoke these refineries billow and how it poisons the surrounding environment where plants eventually fail to grow...or the intensely high temperatures that that the workers have to face and endure in the smelters and where pouring the aluminium solution. It is a wonderful metal but it comes at a very heavy price to mankind and the environment, so they prefer not talk about it. Australia exports much of its bauxite to countries in Africa for refining. Their pollution laws don't allow them to refine on home soil. Suffer the people of the emerging economies for the love of money

1. The thumbnail is a lie. There are no chunks of Aluminum to be mined on earth. 2. One background song gets infused into another. Hence two songs play at the same time for quite some time. 3. Using the metric system and US system in the same video. Just stick to one. 4. Saying that it will be processed in Gladstone means absolutely nothing to anyone not from Queensland and/or Australia. It would be nice to actually specify the location on a world map, or at least mention the country. Cheers.
