 Howstuffworks "How Fencing Equipment Works"
The target area for a foil is the torso (the area covered by the jacket), not including the head or arms.
For foil, there is a closed electric circuit set up by the system, which is opened when a touch is landed (the button on the foil is depressed); when a touch occurs, a buzzer goes off and a light lights up on the side of the fencer who was touched.
The foil's A wire is connected with the target lamè, the B wire is the "hot wire," and the C wire is the return current; the piste and the bell guard are electrically grounded.

 Foil (fencing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Foils are designed only for thrusting, though modern competitive fencers often use a technique known as a flick, which uses the foil's flexibility to bend around the blade of an opponent (often in response to an attempted parry) and plant a hit upon the back.
There are three main types of foil grips: the French style, with a grip (handle or hilt) designed to facilitate greater finesse, the Italian style, which is designed more for control and power, and the orthopedic, or pistol-grip, which takes the need for a firm hold on the weapon even further.
The modern foil is descended from the training weapon for the small-sword, a lighter version of the rapier that was the common sidearm of 18th century gentleman.

 Aluminium foil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aluminium foil's heat conductive qualities make it a common accessory in hookah smoking: a sheet of perforated aluminum foil is frequently placed between the coal and the tobacco, allowing the tobacco to be heated without coming into direct contact with the burning coal.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century, tin foil was in common use; aluminium foil largely supplanted it, but some people long continued to call aluminium foil by the name of its tin counterpart (perhaps due to its being shorter to say).
Aluminium foil is also sometimes used in the training of cats; as cats have an inborn dislike of either the texture or noise caused by sheets of aluminium foil, it is possible to prevent cats from jumping on or otherwise damaging furniture by covering its' surfaces.

 Starting with Foil
The conventions of foil fencing are not just some arbitrary directions set down and force-fed fledgling fencing students because someone simply felt like including them on a list of rules.
The conventions of foil fencing, the rules of right-of-way, of priority, of give and take, are what they are because they reflect the proper behavior one should follow when fighting with a sword, and the key word here is "should".
The rules of foil fencing, then, require us forcefully to respond sensibly rather than react mindlessly with knee-jerk reflexes, so that we may, in the situations we find ourselves in on the fencing strip, hit and not be hit.
