minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoThe larger diameter of the original can plus the angled transition at either end probably means same surface area of aluminium. Small diameter differences make larger circumferential changes.
minus-squarefrank@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoThey do, but overall the can end (lid) is a LOT more aluminum than you expect and the whole rest of it isn’t as much as you expect. So a little less lid is worth a fair bit more sidewall in terms of weight of aluminum
minus-squareschnapsman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoSince they apparently have the same volume, could one of you be a hero and steal one of each and weigh them?
