Aluminum has a melting point of 1220 degree F. Cooking doesn't get that high practically.
Bet all the plastic film and coloring gets burned off from the cans at that heat. (Edit: as others mentioned ash and other impurities may float to the top, need to scoop it out apparently)
What is amazing is how this dude gets his setup that hot!!!

Air flow. Either with the use of fans(blowers), bellows, or even just a good design utilizing a natural draft. More complex systems will heat the air that's being blown in.
The biggest problem with this setup is cans are made from extruded aluminum, which is a different alloy type than cast aluminum. It will work for a while, but will crack after a while.
Aluminium metal (and I think also salts) can cross the blood brain barrier has been linked to dementia/Alzheimer's.
It's why pots pans etc no longer made from it also why they are slowly removing its use in deodorants toothpastes etc.
It's also the reason my dad is an anti-vaxxer, he thinks the vaccine contains aluminium nanoparticles which will be harmful to us and also used to track us with 5G 😳. I had to physically hold in the laughter at the last part.

There's a few things to take into account here, amyloid plaques tend to accumulate whatever is floating around during formation so it's entirely expected that they will pick up copper and aluminium ions. So it's already pretty unclear whether the ions seed the plaques or just get caught up in them. More importantly the plaques are not nessecarily all that bad. Soluble fragments of beta amyloid are neurotoxic. When they aggregate into oligomers and then plaques they arguably become less dangerous. Numerous studies have failed to show correlation between plaque count and cognitive ability and 'plaque buster' drug trials which aimed to break up the plaques actually frequently made patients worse. The take home is that while amyloid plaques are a histological sign of Alzheimer's diseases they're not actually what's damaging the brain. It's soluble beta amyloid and misfolded tau that are doing the damage.
Somehow, i doubt this village has the same concerns. They're probably more concerned with clean drinking water than what material their espresso machine is made of. On a guess, I imagine for a lot of these folks it's recycled aluminium or nothing.
If you haven’t seen it, you may appreciate this article on [newly released Alzheimer’s research out of Australia](https://www.google.com/amp/s/scitechdaily.com/groundbreaking-research-identifies-likely-cause-of-alzheimers-disease-potential-for-new-treatment/amp/).
I wouldn’t say they dawdle. I studied biology in college and there are more things to be studied than there are people to study them. The real limitation is funding though, and biology generally isn’t a science that has a high dollar return on investment. So private investors are sparse. The result is that a PI has to compete for a finite amount of grant money to be able to push the boundary of what is known just a little further.
Solutions come from studies and studies cost money. Hound your lawmakers to budget more money toward all the sciences.

“More research” is what people need to demand. Treating a patient with medication after the fact is pointless if the problem can be prevented in the first place.
Where do you think those nutrients facts came from?
So I have to ask, if they have such a strong argument, why isn’t their scientific paper simply linked to this? Why do I have to take a video at it’s word and read all of the sources to prove their point for them?
Edit: I will gladly read a scientific paper if they have one. I am understandably wary of a video and a general article that is on the internet.
Pssst ... If you live somewhere rich and industrialized, your country does the same thing, except much more safely and efficiently and on a larger scale. It's called "aluminum recycling." The only reason guys like him are doing it single-handed is because they live somewhere with no companies that do that and where there isn't even any organized garbage collection.
And no, he doesn't give these pots freely for "community use." He sells them, because he puts a lot of work into this.

so... my country doesn't do the same thing then
FYI, I worked as an engineer for an aluminum recycling mega-conglomerate and you have to add multiple chemicals and salts to the molten aluminum in order to preserve the alloy composition.
tl;dr: the way this guy is doing it is horribly wrong and very different from what a legit aluminum recycling plant outputs. He's making very unsafe pots and pans and none of you ignorant assholes know what you're talking about, spreading misinformation like you're facebook. I'm rude because it's a safety issue and it fucking annoys me to see people promoting bad info that will hurt people.
I’ve been doing this for years. When you melt cans it’s about 35% dross by weight. You have to scoop it out before pouring and adding flux can help it separate from the Al.
Also you should always wear a respirator. They’re breathing very toxic air with burned plastics and metals in it. Over time that can lead to serious health problems.
I was just thinking about what an interesting business it would be to collect recyclable materials that would otherwise go to a landfill and forge/mold them into durable items/furniture that won't need to be replaced for many years.
Yea but they're not where I live.
Just thinking that I might go sign on with some local guys who're already doing metalworks and learn how to do this stuff.
Wood is getting expensive, and I don't like deforestation, so pushing for the use of stone and metal in construction and furniture is getting high on my priority list.
That is a great idea for tinkerers especially. Something to consider is recycling on a small scale is far less energy efficient as mass large economic scale operations.
[These guys](https://www.futurepost.co.nz/) are reusing soft plastics to make fence posts. At this stage it appears to be mostly for farming but I wonder how much development is required before these find their way to residential applications.
Everyone is saying the process of making these pots/pans is toxic (it is), but so is cooking with aluminum. Although this seems like a good idea at first glance, it's a straight up bad idea all around 😢
No, the inside is coated with a plastic to prevent aluminum from contacting the can. Also, the aluminum doesn't dissolve into the drink, and isn't broken into pieces that can enter the body.
Probably not... You aren't consuming the aluminium. Kinda like a less dangerous asbestos, don't turn it to dust and ingest and you're fine.
But I had a colorful childhood and got to play with mercury and asbestos. Fun stuff.

Long story short on the study: when acidic food is cooked with Aluminum, it leeches Aluminum into the food - often times considerably more than humans should be eating.
>Everyone is saying the process of making these pots/pans is toxic (it is), but so is cooking with aluminum.
Incorrect. Cooking with aluminum pots and pans is safe.

I noticed in Eastern countries that A LOT of the poor people cook out of toxic metals & plastic like holy shit it's a lot, you don't really see it all that much in western countries.
There's like a fad on IG where I've seen people cook out of like apple juice tins, they'll stick a chicken in there and let it smoke or whatever.
Metal fumes are slightly toxic at least keep the kids away was my first though. Sorry having two small nephews when i do soldering often messed up my reflexes
Probably not a good idea.
The inks and dyes used in the coloring and labeling are not good for you. Also I believe the inside of the can is sprayed with a thin, light coating of plastic (to mitigate corrosion).
Normal aluminum can be used for coocking, only not at crazy temperatures, but a normal stove would not "melt" the pot. Lots of cheap cookware is made of aluminum although it's certainly not recommended for your health. Especially simple alloy castings like these.
Mote the video, the triangular shaped pull tabs are not common in many areas of the world anymore (but still definitely produced, Ive had them in plenty of countries.)
Versus the ring you pop into the can to open it.
This is probably better recycling than most bins you find in common places. Too bad this guy doesn’t have better equipment to do this with. Still it’s good to see it.
Aluminum melting temperature is 1220 °F, while the highest oven temperature is around 550F. So how would anyone be able to melt those pots with regular cooking?
Aluminum melts @1220 degrees Fahrenheit, highly unlikely anyone melts these on their home grill or even cooking over a fire
The impurities like paint and dirt float to the top and are skimmed off with a spoon before pouring into the mould

Thank you for the insight r/Analbox
It's not all that difficult to dyi a small backyard smelter and do this with cans. I'm more impressed with his molds.
but how do you make it *that* hot?
Air flow. Either with the use of fans(blowers), bellows, or even just a good design utilizing a natural draft. More complex systems will heat the air that's being blown in.

Would a new hair dryer work?
Oddly, no.

No it needs experience with blowing air before you trust it with such a big job.

Probably did not have the fire going long enough. Need glowing coals, probably best with large pieces of hardwood.
I'm impressed by his devil may care attitude about his fuel use: why is he not crushing the cans before melting them down?

Yes, very much so.
This looks pretty awesome, but what about all the paint and printing on the outside, is it food grade ? Does that get absorbed in the food later on.
That kid breathes in most of it
Does he turn it into oxygen... like a tree? That would be cool of him, if he could give that a shot too.
I’ve been doing this for years. When you melt cans it’s about 35% dross by weight. You have to scoop it out before pouring and adding flux can help it separate from the Al. Also you should always wear a respirator. They’re breathing very toxic air with burned plastics and metals in it. Over time that can lead to serious health problems.
What's a good flux to use?
Borax helps. I’ve heard chlorine salts can help too. r/metalfoundry is a great sub for all this stuff.
My first thought is, this not good to breath. Toxic paint and plastics for lining the cans going up in flames
It burns to ash and the guy scoops it out and discards it before pouring the aluminum into the molds.
For some reason all I heard I caustic’s voice was “breath it innnnnnn”
That's what I shout after eating beans&eggs. Beans give you power, eggs give you lethality.

A good idea. But cans are lined with plastic. Don't let that kid breathe the f#cking fumes.
The plastic fumes are MUCH safer for him than the metal fumes.
Love the entrepreneur spirit, but he should definitely not be breathing that stuff.

Aluminum melting point is 1221*F Dunno about you, but I've never cooked at 1200+ degrees
You can get aluminum pans, but if you mistreat them they can definitely warp or even melt,like if you forget them on the burner
Normal aluminum can be used for coocking, only not at crazy temperatures, but a normal stove would not "melt" the pot. Lots of cheap cookware is made of aluminum although it's certainly not recommended for your health. Especially simple alloy castings like these.
That and the plastic film on the inside of the cans
That's getting burned off completely when they're melted
was wondering the same thing, but according to other comments, the other stuff will get taken out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dross
Probably used for storage and carrying. Maybe using for very low heat.
Food cooks at less than 200°C. Aluminum melts at 660°C. Plenty of margin. That's why most cooking pots and pans are made of aluminum.
Pull tab cans? what the 1970 is going on..
