SPRK flowing through conductors generates pressure. This is real annoying when I try to heat a powered substance by placing it on a conductor and then run current through it. The powder (such as dust) ends up wafting up into the air and then it can't be heated.

Oops, wrong section. Moderator please move this to the proper forum section.

My heater is made of Tungsten. It (as with most conductors in TPT) generates pressure when SPRK passes through it. For it to work I need to have the substance to be heated in direct contact with the Tungsten. Putting TTAN around it will simply melt the TTAN (at the temperatures I'll be working with) and prevent it from acting as a pressure shield. I can't put insulation between the TTAN and the Tungsten to shield the TTAN from the heat, or it will prevent the substance I want to heat from being heated.

My project will only work if the TPT devs turn off the SPRK pressure or provide a checkbox in the options dialog that will allow me to turn off the SPRK pressure.

I doubt there are any saves that actually depend on SPRK making pressure, so if even if it was permanently disabled, I doubt anybody would notice (no broken saves). However the presence of this SPRK pressure can sure MESS UP simulation that depend on powdered stuff sitting right where it is in relation to conductors carry SPRK, without being blown around by pressure.
