The Powder Toy

After exploding a star (Hydrogen at very high heat and high pressure) I filtered out particles and seperated them , and while looking for water vapour I found what is mentioned in the title.

Can someone explain what it is?

WTRV is water vapour. If you burn HYGN and OXYG you get WTRV

If you mean the ctype I think it's because of fire that needs to turn in wrtv so it's coded like that

The (Fire) part is the "Ctype" of an element, it affects the properties of the element :P

ask boxmein to explain :P

Burning HYGN and OXYG together makes FIRE, which turns into WTRV a short amount of time after. I have no idea why it's ctype'd FIRE, it has no effect on it's properties; if you distillate it after, it just becomes DSTW, but with it's ctype still being fire, oddly enough. It would make more sense to ctype FIRE (WTRV) after it is produced by the burning HYGN/OXYG, but it doesn't. Anyway this is doing my head in so I'm just going to shut up and leave to explanation to someone who knows what they're talking about :P

It has FIRE as it's ctype because it was made from burning hydrogen and oxygen together.

As for why the fire created by burning oxygen and hydrogen doesn't have wtrv as it's ctype, it's because tmp is used for it. For example, if you were to place fire, or plsm, on the screen and use console to set it's tmp to 3 and then unpause, you'd end up with dstw/wtrv.

That explains it, thanks.

Nice, +'ed your rep!

It is possible to keep the FIRE ctype. If you cool it down to water it will retain the ctype of FIRE. However if you then cool it to SNOW or ICE it will lose the ctype. If you cool WTRV straight down to RIME it also keeps the FIRE ctype.

WTRV (Fire)?
