Can you make a wheelchair out of bottle caps?

If collecting 10,000 pop tabs can create a wheelchair by recycling the metal, are you able to make a wheelchair by recycling beer or pop bottle caps (the ones from glass bottles)? Also, can you make anything by collecting bottle caps?



I believe that if they are smelted down and cleaned of impurities, that you can use the metal.And this is something we use to do as kids..take the caps,the plastic tabs on milk and bread bags,and put them on shirts,jackets or as a banner. Place the cap on side out for display,and on other side,insert tab into center,to hold it..it should be a little tight but will go in.Also this is a good way to display different caps,and saves on the enviroment and young males should like this "display".




The question is has anyone ever tried it? The only thing that I can think of that the caps wouldn't be able to be used is because the plastic that is under the caps. But then again it could be melted and then used. I think it could be done but then again that would need money to try and see if it would work.




I thought the pop company donated the money for the wheelchairs for every 10,000 caps.




Im sure selling the alloy from that many bottle caps may allow for the cost of a wheel chair.




Yes, Yes.




I think so !!!




yes
