This should make the thermal conductivity worse no?
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)
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.

Through an incredible use of free will...
Thanks, Inspector!
Likely using dictation on an iPhone with "Penny" in contacts.
iPhone L moment
Yeah it's outright idiotic that it does this. It's apparently really aggressive at it too.
Idiot used super glue instead of thermal paste.
Welded together would be better.
Good luck lol
Nah that's e6000, it dries more rubbery than superglue
I can think of two akshullies, but I won't say them.
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?
I think in this situation, you’d offer a penny for their thoughts?
You just had to go and put your two cents in, huh?
Inflation’s brought it to like 25.6¢ iirc
You couldn’t coin a better pun than that?
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
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.
copper-plated zinc
Brass?
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
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?
mostly zinc tho
Depends on the year, no?
Those should have been pasted with solder instead, right?
Solder is mostly tin, sometimes combined with lead. It would melt the very second you put it on the stove.
i first saw the thumbnail for this image and thought it was beans. because beans make gas.
