This should make the thermal conductivity worse no?

[-] Devial@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Yes it would. Adding material generally makes thermal conductivity worse. There is no material with negative thermal resistance, so adding more will always increase thermal resistance by at least a bit.

The only exception is 3D geometries, where an increase in surface area due to the extra material can outweigh the effect of the added material, and lead to a net increase in thermal transfer.

This can lead to a paradoxical effect, where ADDING insulation around a pipe leads to HIGHER transfer than with less insulation material, because the added material increases the exterior diameter, and therefore surface area.

(Heatsinks are also a good example. It is more material than just the component by itself, but increases surface area by such a massive amount that it more than outweighs the added material)

[-] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Not only that, you add two changes in material on top (copper > glue > pan), which add even more resistance

You are not supposed to out gloves on infants, only mittens, because it makes their hands colder.

Because OP uses their Brain in unusual ways.

Through an incredible use of free will...

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

Thanks, Inspector!

Likely using dictation on an iPhone with "Penny" in contacts.

Yeah it's outright idiotic that it does this. It's apparently really aggressive at it too.

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 125 points 1 day ago

Idiot used super glue instead of thermal paste.

[-] Equinox1289@sh.itjust.works 60 points 1 day ago

Welded together would be better.

[-] MightyCuriosity@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Good luck lol

[-] 0ops@piefed.zip 29 points 1 day ago

Nah that's e6000, it dries more rubbery than superglue

I can think of two akshullies, but I won't say them.

[-] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago

Look, you either keep these kinda thoughts to yourself, or expect me to politely ask you to indulge deeply all of your brain topic dump tendencies.

So how about them ackshuallies?

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 47 points 1 day ago

I think in this situation, you’d offer a penny for their thoughts?

[-] JStormz@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

You just had to go and put your two cents in, huh?

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Inflation’s brought it to like 25.6¢ iirc

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You couldn’t coin a better pun than that?

[-] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 day ago

probably pennies are mostly zinc, and they are still having to heat the pan through the pennies, so it should actually take slightly longer?

AKSCHULLY I'm gonna need you to tell us those

[-] gandalf_der_13te@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago

a longer copper rod is less conductive than a shorter copper rod, because thermal resistance grows with the length that the heat has to travel. so adding copper pieces to the material adds no heat transfer abilities, it just makes the pathlength longer that heat has to travel, so it travels less well and has actually higher thermal resistance in total.

Brass is an alloy where the two metals are melted together, the pennies are a zinc core with a thin copper coating. Think of the former as a chocolate/vanilla swirl and the latter as a vanilla cone dipped in chocolate but ya know, with chemistry magic going on

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago

For most of them, yes. But if you get old enough pennies, they'll be pure copper.

However, it's easy to tell just looking at this that many of these pennies have the newer design, so they're definitely only copper plated.

A penny for your pots?

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago
[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Depends on the year, no?

[-] csolisr@hub.azkware.net 11 points 1 day ago

Those should have been pasted with solder instead, right?

[-] AspieEgg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 day ago

Solder is mostly tin, sometimes combined with lead. It would melt the very second you put it on the stove.

[-] gandalf_der_13te@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

i first saw the thumbnail for this image and thought it was beans. because beans make gas.
