New exotic material idea - Reversium


Recommended Posts

So I had an idea for some interesting material that could be made with the Molecular Forge - Reversium. It would work like this:

  • It's a material that's solid when heated, but gaseous when cold
  • Its operating ranges could be something like "below 0C go into gas, above 90C solidify". Basically operating a bit like reverse water
  • What the material would let you do is spread chill like you can spread heat now - pour it over the cold biome and make it evaporate with chill that will go up, heat up and condense. It would make a neat reverse heat pump that way
  • It could also be useful for sealing up areas that could get overheated - make it lighter than water and it can turn solid before the water starts steaming up, giving you some nice contained steam space
  • It could also be a companion to Super Coolant for chilling stuff down to absolute zero - it won't freeze in the gas pipes because of getting too cold after all!

You could make it with fullerenes and water, similarly to supercoolant.
