FOAM Pressure Absorbing Material!

    FOAM: or Foam, a material that absorbs pressure which the amount of pressure it absorbs sets the tmp of the foam, and when the foam reaches 2700-3000 it begins to slowly degrade. When the tmp is 3001+ is reached, it will instantly disapear. However the material will decrease in pressure (tmp level) when water is added, or poured over the foam. Foam contains all pressure and it doesnt let pressure through. The melting point of FOAM is 1200 K. When it is melted however, it turns into CO2. (simular to DRIC) The colour of FOAM is a warm grey.

     

    Some Properties (list):

     State of Matter - Solid

     Type of material - non-Metal (doesnt conduct heat or electricity{well})

     'Melting Point' - 1200K (exept it becomes CO2)

     Pressure Absorbance - High absorbance, and the pressure lowers when water is poured over the FOAM.

     Colour - A warm light grey, but as it gains tmp, it will slowly become darker.

    Placement colour: E3E2DC  <----Hexadecimal

    TMP 3000 Colour: 474744   <----  Notation

     

    USES:

    Foam can be used as an alternitive pressure detector.

    Foam can be used in walls or bunkers to absorb high pressures.

    Foam can be used as a non-conducting Pressure absorber.

    Foam is ideal for protecting any electronic equipment from pressure.

    Maybe it could absorb water to decrease the tmp, and change to a lighter colour in low pressures. Great idea.

    it would be a liquid.......but wouldn't move as much, and it wouldn't melt, its evaporate or whatever. When it evaporates (the evaporation point should be the temp. water turns into wtrv) the products or wtrv and soap.

    There actually used to be a FOAM element that kind of acted as not-so-effective INSL.

    Hmm. Ok, so it has some interesting uses. I put my vote behind this one.

    We have no non-metal pressure blocking elements, so this is new.

    This is a good suggestion, and easy to code as well, as we have part of the absorbing properties already done with vibr.

     

    I would make it warm orange/yellow. And I would have it creatable from gel. You have my vote too.

    How is it weird, it's like goo :P

    This is somewhat like SHLD, actually. the varying layers of SHLD after being sparked disappear when exposed to increasing amounts of pressure.

    Sounds good!
