Plasma Appliances
-
I have some ideas involving Plasma that might prove realistic and useful.
POSP - Positive Plasma. Bright red. Attracted to NCHG. Can be stabilized with ELEC. Can be created by bombarding PLSM with PHOT.
NEGP - Negative Plasma. Bright blue. Attracted to PCHG. Can be created by bombarding PLSM with ELEC.
PCHG - Positive Charger. Dark red. Converts PLSM or NEGP to POSP. Attracts NEGP.
NCHG - Negative Charger. Dark blue. Converts PLSM or POSP to NEGP. Attracts POSP.
PPCH - Powered version of PCHG.
PNCH - Powered version of NCHG.
STBL - Stabilizer. Purple. Converts POSP or NEGP back to PLSM.
PSTB - Powered version of STBL.
With these, you can keep Plasma ionized longer or accelerate it to very high velocities by doing a "+ - + - + -" pattern with chargers.
Uses:
Ion engines, plasma weaponry, superheaters.

Shouldn't POSP also be attracted to NEGP and vice-versa?
-
That is true, although some noble gasses will react with other elements when ionized. (I'm thinking particularly of xenon reacting with fluorine.)
-
Interesting...but you didn't include a way to generate them without converting...I mean...I geuss you could use clones.
-
Perhaps bombarding PLSM with PHOT. In real life, this effect can actually strip atoms of their electrons, if the photons contain enough energy.
-
Realism isn't really the goal of TPT so unless these elements have a unique use the answer will probably be: "Code it yourself".
