aluminum vs. copper

[sundownz]

This worked well for me :

2" x 3" angle @ 1/4" thick

Pretty inexpensive too. Used two other pieces to hold the batteries in at the front

Yes there is a difference, but a noticeable one probably not. In real life i believe only things safety related should be a MUST for copper or silver, such as the grounds on a hot tub or something like that. of course all grounds in a house should be copper too lol. here is a list i dug up of conductors from best to worst. Funny how concrete makes the list.

# silver

# copper

# gold

# aluminum

# iron

# steel

# brass

# bronze

# mercury

# graphite

# dirty water

# concrete

thanks jacob....ill check that link out. So it looks like im gonna use aluminum instead since it conducts just as nicely. Thanks everyone
