You sir are sadly mistaken on the conducitivity of aluminum and cooper and brass for heat and electricity scope twocents


Arguing with scientifically proven facts??


BTW, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are two entirely different properties of materials.

Thermal conductivity for common materials and products:
