(Video) How to Turn Styrofoam Into Solid Aluminum. It Sounds Impossible But it’s Not!

turn styrofoam into metal

Metal tools can be expensive. But imagine being able to construct whatever you wanted, and having it turn into solid metal in about ten seconds. This isn’t some King Midas deal… just good old-fashioned science.

Think about what the possibilities! You can make any object you want for survival supplies: a sword, a knife, an aluminum pan! Aluminum is lightweight for travel, so you’re not lugging it around in the same way you would with iron or steel.

A tool like this is resistant to corrosion and works as an amazing heat and energy conductor. It is also extremely reflective of visible light, and under the proper conditions, it can be used to reflect the sun's rays to start a fire.

So yeah, aluminum is great to have when you’re bugging out. And if you sculpt something out of Styrofoam, you can turn it into solid aluminum in seconds!

Take a look on the next page on the video to see how!

    So you can have a hunk of aluminum that looks like a handgun! Might as well find an “L-shaped” stick!

    ummm using Styrofoam as a mold for molten aluminum is not even close to the same thing as turning Styrofoam into aluminum. Seriously try using some kind of integrity before making assertions.

    Aluminum is an element. Styrofoam has no aluminum in it. Would be silly to think could turn styrofoam into aluminum.

    It is no different than the past failed attempts to turn basic metals into gold in the past

    Die Hard Survivor is really good at click baiting these days. Basic science be damned.

    there is alot of info out there ! most of it is a joke ! you can never prpare yourself for every senario ! best thing i know is just to “practise ” it every chance you get ( weekends , evenings ) so it becomes second nature ! typing this got me thinking that i haven’t used my cookstove in my house since about march of this year ! got to love a dutch oven and an open fire ( i use the” Dakota hole ” myself )lol! the power company had fits with me one time when iflipped my main breaker off and lived for 9months with out using there power !theycame out and checked my meter several times ! they told me i couldncolive a comfortable live without electricity ! man has only had electricity for about 100 years ! man has lived on earth how many thousands or millions of years ???!!! all the info and books won’t help you a bit if you don’t apply it !
