Aluminium (or aluminum; see different endings) is a chemical element in the boron group with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal. Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal, in the Earth's crust. It makes up about 8% by mass of the crust, though it is less common in the mantle below. Aluminium metal is so chemically reactive that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite.
Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are important in other areas of transportation and structural materials, such as building facades and window frames. The most useful compounds of aluminium, at least on a weight basis, are the oxides and sulfates.

The resulting cast is huge, weighing 17.9 lbs. and reaching a depth of 18 inches.

These are the red imported fire ants (RIFA) which are harmful to the environment and their nests are exterminated by the millions in the United States using poisons, gasoline and fire, boiling water, and very rarely molten aluminum.

Backyard Scientists T-Shirts! Limited Edition campaign, buy one now! - http://shop.crowdmade.com/collections/backyardscientist/ I packed a fishtank completely full of water balls (water beads, water balz, orbeez, spitballs...). Im guessing there are over 10,000 in there! Anyway, I melted a bunch of old aluminum pipes and poured them into the fishtank hoping to create a cool design. And it worked perfectly! These are really unique, no two pieces are alike. Vat 19 was nice enough to supply me with the spitballs to use in this video :) https://www.vat19.com/item/spitballs-50-g-pack They are also posting a version of this on their youtube channel, which I will link to soon when its posted.

Discovery / Science Channel's "How It's Made" Aluminum episode
In preperation for a large project we melted down around 660 kg of scrap aluminium into ingots. All the aluminium that we use for our castings is a cast alloy of some form. It took us four days to melt everything. The process was not without its hick-ups. In the end we made 160 ingots for a total weight of 526 kg (1160 lb). Our furnaces run on waste oil. We will do a video in the future showing our furnace build. www.facebook.com/australianantart Music: "Crunk Knight" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

music: hagel / lyrics: lodmalm
reptile sleep
the fix runs deep
alone with mirrors
a blank reflection stains the glass
liquid eyes
late goodbyes
calling from a distant waste that you can't find
and now when all is said and done
nowhere left to run
bittersweet aluminium - left in my mouth
diamond dreams
tainted past
it comes together - all together - it won't last
exiled waves
heartbeat lost
set the world on fire now at any cost
