Palladium idea
-
I did some searching, and I couldn't find anything relevant to my suggestion.
I'm even not sure if this would be fitting for TPT but hey, there's lots of ideas out there, and strange ones as well, so I'm going to input an idea that's been sitting in my head for a while.
Palladium would be a generic metal in most cases, however the main reason for my idea of it is based on a semi-recent and usually ridiculed experiment in the real world, even though I'm still a beleiver and I have hopes up for it.
Palladium would absorb hydrogen into its TMP with a limit of perhaps 15 per dot. Running spark through it would slowly decrease the TMP, and at the same time release NBLE and other stage 1 fusion products at the default temperature for most elements (22 degrees?)
This of course is a reference to the fact that palladium is really good at absorbing hydrogen along with the experiment of cold fusion. A simple idea, I really don't know much about palladium besides that, so maybe other ideas can be added in the comments. I'm sure those of you that don't beleive in or are against the idea of cold fusion will shoot down this idea, but I don't know. That's why I suggest and get your opinion, and I'm especially curious about the general consensus of cold fusion.
Feel free to drop a comment, but please don't be rude. I know that for some this is a touchy subject, but try to keep your fire inside.

For a second there, I thought the properties were refering to fuel cells (that might just be platinum though)...
Anyway,for once, this suggestion actually seems useful.I can see this being used in fusion power plants,bombs,and factories. +1
My opinion on cold fusion.Honestly,I used to care about how cold fusion wasn't real yet the media still thought it was, but these days, I've seen it so often that I've eventually stopped caring and started just writing off its appearances as technobabble.
Wait,"keep your fire inside"? That...that is the wierdest thing I've seen all day.

Perhaps palladium could split DEUT into HYGN and some other ion.
One of the reasons cold fusion has had such differing results is because of microscopic flaws in the Palladium lattice, hampering the shifting of the Deuterium atoms.
I definitely like this idea. +1

Perhaps have DEUT split into HYGN and NEUT? After all, deuterium is hydrogen with an extra neutron.
-
Deuterium into hydrogen and (maybe) a neutron would be pretty cool. Perhaps another thing I've heard about how that works is turn water into deuterium and oxygen kind of like iron does.
So this could be the current reaction chain:
Water -> Deuterium (side product oxygen) -> Hydrogen (side product neutron) -> 22 degree (or equal to palladium?) Noble Gas (essentially helium) (side product same temperature stage 1 fusion products)
That seems relatively similar to a video I've seen on Youtube, search "Cold Fusion is Fun" and there should be a video by TheOriginalScience. They start with water, and after they shut it off after a little fusing, it is obviously not water.
-
Maybe the whole water into deuterium part can be skipped, but then it would lose that bit for no reason, and besides, more than one way to create something is always fun.
"Hydrogen doesn't do much on it's own". Hm. I wonder why there's a new element being suggested that can do something with hydrogen.
Noble gas doesn't need to react with this, as it is a final product, there is no chain continuing after noble gas.
If you're asking where the fun would be, if it came from the video title, that's the video title, not anything I meant in specific to TPT but more of a reference to the reasoning behind my reaction chain. But in TPT, cold fusion would be hella fun. It would be a unique reaction unlike any other.
-
I'm starting to see that this element isn't actually what I've thought it was...
Well,duh.Hydrogen might have just that one use, but it's a pretty big one by far.
Actually,Noble Gas fuses into CO2 at 100 pressure and 5000 degress Celcuis.After that, CO2 fuses to make a huge explosion.
Cold fusion being fun?What.It's like what The-Fall said;cold fusion is a cold nuclear reaction,and in TPT, it's basically useless as it doesn't generate a lot of heat,unless it produces a lot of pressure,which other processes and elements can do.
In my opinion,I don't want this element to exist if cold fusion is added.What I want this element to do is do is to be make it used in hot fusion.
