    Idiot used super glue instead of thermal paste.

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

    Why is “Penny” capitalized?

    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?

        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

      source
      • gandalf_der_13te@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    copper-plated zinc

    source
    • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

        Piss on em. Real copper will turn light green.

        You’re welcome.

      Brass?

      source
      • TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        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

    Those should have been pasted with solder instead, right?
    source
    • AspieEgg@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    mostly zinc tho

    This should make the thermal conductivity worse no?

    source
    • Devial@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 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)

      source
      • UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

    Feeling weird/outed this is a shitpost. Just last year searched for copper bottomed carbon steel pan for this exact reason. Didn’t find anything, but I still like the idea. Carbon steel is pretty shit at conduction.

    source
    • davetortoise@reddthat.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Copper pans exist but they can be a pain to cook with. The high thermal conductivity means they heat up much fast than you expect, so it’s easier to accidentally burn stuff, and they also cool down much more quickly once off the heat which can also be annoying. Plus you need to worry about oxide formation and food sticking much more than you do wity steel pans.

      source
      • OtakuAllTheWay@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Also can’t cook acidic foods like tomatoes and vinegar if the copper pan is unlined. Since the copper will leech into the food.

        They also have to be re-tinned somewhat regularly IIRC.

        source
      • Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I know but a copper bottom to improve conductivity really helps carbon steel pans which are really bad about getting hot spots. I have a copper plate I put under mine and it works great. You don’t want a pure copper pan as it doesn’t have the nonstick properties, easy maintenance, and it would also be expensive. But a copelper bottom would be nice.
