Alien Mind Control Deflectors

• An Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (AFDB) is a
  type of headwear that can shield your brain from
  most electromagnetic psychotronic mind control
  carriers.

Where Is Aluminum Found?

• Aluminum is found in ore bauxite.
• Charles Martin Hall
• Discovered process of extracting aluminum from
  bauxite.
• In 1888 Karl Joseph Bayer
• More efficient method.
• Most abundant metal
• Found in deeply weathered rocks.

4
How is it Mined?

• Numerous bauxite deposits around the world.
• Open cast mining

5
How is Aluminum Purified?
6
Bauxite is Crushed and then Digested
7
Decanter pours out the liquid and leaves most
solid behind. Liquid filtered in filter press.
8
Precipitator adds a chemical to get the aluminum
out of the liquid. In Cathode electrons are
added to bring aluminum salt to aluminum metal.
9
The aluminum metal goes into the holding furnace,
where it is burned to purify, then sent into
production.
10
Aluminum affects the Environment

• Acid Rain
• Coal burning to produce energy.
• Greenhouse Effect
• Acid Rain reacts with bauxite which in turn
  causes the pH of the water in lakes and streams
  to become toxic to fish.
• Aluminum coats the gills of fish

11
Recycle Your Aluminum

• Every 3 months Americans throw away enough cans
  to recreate the entire commercial air fleet.
• Every minute 123,097 aluminum cans are recycled
  in America.
• Its takes 95 percent less energy to recycle a can
  than to produce a brand new one.
• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to
  watch your TV for 3 hours.

12
How Much Aluminum is Supplied Each year?

• About 23,000,000 metric tons to the world.
•  1 metric ton 1,000 kilograms

13
Is Aluminum Expensive?

• Gold - 11 million dollars per metric ton?
• Aluminum 1,500 dollars per metric ton?
• ITS CHEAP!

14
Common Uses of Aluminum

• Power cables, magnet wires
• Resistant to corrosion
• Garden furniture
• Craft projects

15
Properties of Aluminum

• Melting Point 1,220.58 degrees F
• Boiling Point 4,566 degrees F
• Density 2,700 kg/m3
• Silver-white metal
• Ductile, malleable, excellent conductor of heat
  and electricity.
• Purely soft but strong when alloyed.

Facts of Aluminum

• Alien Mind Control Deflector
• If you want to keep something cold
• If you want to keep something hot
• Grilling techniques
• Biting on aluminum foil hurts!

18
To Some It All Up

• Aluminum is found in ore bauxite.
• It is found all over the world.
• Complex purifying method.
• Aluminum harms the environment though acid rain,
  and kills fish.
• Aluminum is relatively cheap
• Used to make many common things
• Most Importantly it is used as a mind control
  deflector.
