After reading about Jack Marshack experience using aluminium foil as the metal in orgonite. I decided to give it a try. I was having trouble finding decent metal shavings for a reasonable price and all that I ever found since I started gifting 3 years ago was either cheap and heavy, steel or, expensive and heavy, brass. The foil itself is nothing more than a pure aluminium very thin sheet. No plastic or the like. All can I say is wow, what a relief! The advantages of using the aluminium foil, shredded by a simple electric paper shredder where many:
-Easy to find and to transport.
-Cheap, if you buy a wholesale economic roll, like a foil of 45 cm X 60 meters. I bought one for about 15 dollars ( 30 reais ). With this I made 20 kilos of resin into orgonite and even the pipes of a cloudbuster (see bellow).
-Clean, no oil, thrash or cigarette buttocks in the middle.
-Easy to handle, no cuts in hands.
-Discrete, as no one will ask you what the hell you want with all that aluminium!
-VERY light. You can push it into the mould and compress it for a very beefy Tower Buster, without having lots of metal sticking out. The proportion between metal and resin I achieved was 1/4 of the mould Volume filled with foil, 3/4 with resin (crystal size was irrelevant). It just felt OK to me. That’s just half of the so ideal 50/50 proportion, but has anyone really achieved this and measured it while making simple TBs?
The only downside is that the foil showing through the resin is reminiscent of garbage, but that’s OK 
.
Being satisfied with the energy of simple TBs I decide to try something bigger and made a Standard Orgonite Cloudbuster. But with 2 different moddifications, besides being made of aluminium foil metal strips:
-The pipes where made by using 1 inch PVC pipes as support, which were them wrapped with aluminium foil, as the image shows bellow, resulting in each pipe having about 3 turns of a single piece of foil around them. The result was a very light and cheap metal pipe. The foil was easily held together with tape and them coated in resin for added resistance. The pipes were set in the base using common PVC couplers, which where then wrapped again in foil for sealing the pipes as one single metal pipes. Just wait until the CB base COOLS DOWN before setting the pipes, otherwise you risk damaging the couplers heated by the resin catalysis.
- Because the pipes were light, I used many cardboard spacers instead of plywood. The spacers were also coated with resin for weather proof capabilities.
The result was a cheap and light cloudbuster made of materials easily available anywhere. Considering only the spent material, I probably expended about 80 dollars making it. It’s off course more laborious to make one this way, but the cost and the easiness are great. It’s ugly, but I admit I was sloppy making it, but does it work? I think it does.
Is this a photo artifact around the CB base?
As soon as the CB was assembled, DOR was released by the shitbirds, as it can be seem in the chemsoup in the background.
Sucking DOR
Few days later.
Few days after setting the CB a cool breeze was felt, and is now constant, just like after gifting some towers in a new area. When I was travelling away from my hometown I could watch the sky and indeed the area of influence of the cloudbuster seems to be about a 32 km radius, perhaps even more.
This is were the CB wan set, in my hometown Itapeva.
Bellow a picture of visible clouds from the weather satellite. See the elemental face right over Itapeva?

EDIT: By the way, this by no means makes the usual metal turnings obsolete, it’s just another material available to gifters. The best metal is the metal YOU can use!
--I bet these are hard to find in the East African countryside. Thanks, Jack. I’d never heard of those.
