why not just use a sacrificial anode?
why everyone should stop using plastic resevoirs

I'd just like to add that aluminum consumption can be linked to alziemers disease

So what?
Your cut-n-paste, while interesting, is not germane.
Suggest that you use your head instead.
Rip open a few stereo amps and count all the plastic heat-sinks.
Think about that!
Or, put both containers on newspapers, or put them both on the floor, wait, then measure.
It will make my point quite nicely.

If you need to lose heat.
Now, where did I stash my Egyptian reeds?
Aloha,

and that bud must be burning a hole in your brain too.
In this, you are correct. Guilty as charged.
did you mean to say place the newspapers under the plastic container? because the water in the metal container was cooler. In that case they wouldn't be subject to the same conditions anyway and would be unfair.
No sir!
In this, you are incorrect!
I meant what I said.

A wee 'zard knows heatsinks,
Even when bent.
"The effect of temperature on thermal conductivity is different for metals and nonmetals. In metals conductivity is primarily due to lattice vibrations and free electron, however, free electrons play a dominant role. Therefore any increase in temperature increases the lattice vibrations but affects the movement of free electrons adversly thereby decreasing the conductivity. On the other hand conductivity in nonmetals is only due to lattice vibrations which increases with increasing temperature, and so the conductivity of nonmetals increases with increasing temperature"
"the higher the temperature of the metal the less conductivity , the higher the temperature of the nonmetal the MORE conductivity. So in essence the heat goes through the plastic & water a lot faster.

This is absolutely correct. If you have the metal on any cold surface the conductance will suck the cold right out of the concrete like sponge it will eventually equalize to the temp of the cold surface weather its concrete or ice. insulating the metal form the ice/concrete (newspapers) there wont be any conductance to the metal res.
