Magnesium And Magnesium Oxide
-
Magnesium would be very useful for many reasons. It reacts with water to form hydrogen and Magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide is both physically and chemically stable at high temperatures, so it could be used as an insulator. The reason I want this is so I can experiment on using it as insulation on my engine i am creating. My engine also runs on hydrogen, so Magnesium could be useful as a solid fuel source when combined with water. That would also produce Magnesium oxide so i get insulation and fuel in one package. The properties of these elements could be very useful for not just me, but anyone who needs a way to produce hydrogen, or needs an insulator. Magnesium, however, is VERY flammable and hard to put out once ignited, so new explosive maybe?
I hope you consider my ideas and thank you for reading this.

Hmm, an extremely explosive insulator? Actually sounds pretty useful!
-
flammable, not really explosive, so........

What about some more rections?
i.e. MGSM + ACID ----> HYGN+MGOMGO+ACID ----> WATR+SALT
MGSM+OXYG-->MGO
Also, Molten MGO should be conductive.
There should be a powdered and a solid form of MGO [MGOS and MGOP] to allow reactions between liquids and magnesium to occur properly.
To be realistic, MGO should be able to melt at 3125 K (2852 °C/5166 °F) and [new feature incoming] boil at 3873 K (3600 °C/6512 °F) to form MGOG.
Ideally, it would be nice to add a gas called GGAS (generic gas) that spawns a liquid form of its ctype at a certain temperature (like LAVA); but this may prove too radical a change to implement.

Elec+Neut=Hygn. you could do Phot+Bizr=Elec & Phot+Invs=Neut to generate Hygn from phot alone.
or (Isoz->Phot) + (Deut->Neut)=Hygn for a liquid-fuel engine.magnesium should be like the current Thrm, but then Thrm should only be ignited by magnesium or something that burns equally hot. but that just seems like a convoluted way to ignite Thrm. the reactions of magnesium with Watr or magnesium oxide with plsm would be almost that of Dmg. i wonder if magnesium were added if questions would start popping up that look like; "wheres the aluminum +magnesium oxide=Thrm reaction"

Thermite is made of very finely powdered Aluminium (BREL kinda counts) and Iron (III) Oxide [rust](BRMT), not magnesium oxide.
The point of adding magnesium is to add another way to generate hydrogen, because it's such a cool element already and has so many uses.
Also chemistry is awesome.

Why not expand this element into a more broad name? I think magnesium is too specific of a substance for these traits to describe it. I mean i'm sure that magnesium is not the only element that can do this.

It would be nice, frankly, if we could have new elements that aren't simply right off the periodic table. =/ That's not what the four-letter element pattern is meant to inspire.
