Aluminium foil can save you a lot of trouble

We’re sure you’re familiar with aluminum foil. Many people use it in the kitchen, but not many would think of using it to protect their belongings. It may sound like a strange idea, but it turns out that aluminum foil is a great product to protect your belongings.

Benefits

Wrapping body parts in aluminum foil can bring many advantages and benefits. For instance, it is great against fatigue, it alleviates painful joints, it softens the pain from burns and it can even be used to help cure you of a cold.

Aluminium foil has an amazing amount of useful applications you might never have thought of before.

• Need a funnel but don’t have one around the house? Not to worry; by folding a bit of aluminium foil you can very easily make yourself a funnel that won’t leak. Ideal!
• If you need to iron some clothes but don’t have enough time to do it, aluminium foil is the ideal solution. Fold an item of clothing around a piece of foil and then iron it. Because of the foil, the item of clothing will be ironed at both sides at the same time. You’ll be done much more quickly!
• Blunt scissors? Not a problem. If you use aluminium foil the scissors will be nice and sharp before you know it. All you need to do is take a piece of foil and then cut it into tinier pieces. That’s all!
• Static cling on clothes can be very frustrating. Luckily, there’s a quick and simple trick to fix this. All you need to do is scrunch up some foil into a ball and use it to rub the clothes with. The static cling will be gone.
• Do you have a weak WiFi signal at your home? Make a screen out of aluminium foil and put it against a wall in the spot you want to increase the signal. The signal will be increased in the direction of the screen.

Many new car models have an amazing new feature: a keyless start system. With this feature you can open your car without sticking the key in the lock or pressing a button. The car uses sensors to connect to the car key and open the door. Once you’re sitting down, you can start the car by pressing a button. This sounds ideal, but clever car thieves have found a way to abuse the feature.

Car keys

Car keys that have the keyless start system work via a wireless connection. This signal only works when you’re within about two meters of your car; otherwise, it won’t connect. Unfortunately, clever thieves have found a way to hack this signal and enhance it. They don’t need any complicated technology for this these days: the devices needed to hack the signal can simply be bought at the store and they’re not that expensive.
