Fun with Tallow SHC

[Tigin]

Each spigot seal produces 50kg of tallow when they die. If you were to drop said tallow into something very hot, you can get some crazy heat multiplication.

 

Some good candidates for this are liquid uranium refinery or geotuned niobium/tungsten volcanos.

 

You're ultimately limited by the production rate of tallows as each seal is only 7.5kg/cycle. Nonetheless, it's a really interesting thermal property that may or may not make the release.

SHC of 0.002 looks like a typo to me. Is it really 0.0016 and off by a factor of 1000x?Unfortunately you get heat multiplication at 80C which isn't terribly useful. It's easier to build a tepidizer.

What I'm demonstrating is overshooting the transition point so that it still uses the SHC of the tallow. Because the SHC is so low 1 tick is all that's needed to get to 99.97% of the maximum temperature

Ah, sorry, I couldn't get the video to load on mobile.  Yeah, definitely some shenanigans to be had . (until it's patched)
