1. CPPR (Copper)
Color: rgb(184,115,51)
Melting point: 1085C
Tooltip: Copper, a good conductor.
Properties:
2. SILV (Silver)
Color: rgb(214,214,214)
Melting point: 962C
Tooltip: Silver, a element with many uses.
Properties:
HEAC is the best conductor because it cheats. It conducts over 3 spaces instead of 1, and that wont be added to another element.
GOLD uses custom SPRK code, that wont be added to other elements.
If anything besides soap is going to kill VIRS, it's copper. Copper is actually bacterially resistant.
Silver corrodes with acid 100% fine.
tl;dr not unique
Isn't silver bacterially resistant?
Yes it's bacterial resistant. I just watched a thing on coins and paper money.
Copper is the second best electrical conductor on earth. Silver is the first. Superconductors are not the same as conductors because superconductors have no resistance.
@MachineMan (View Post) Silver oxidates at a high rate compared to copper or gold, which is why it isn't used. In Realistic Electrical Systems I've made an element called COPR, it replaces METL and melts at 1085°C. When the mod is fully fleshed out, all elements will contain realistic inductive properties. The only way a conductor can pass electricity is by actual contact or a magnetic field which would transfer electricity. Also, superconductors require special conditions like a very low temperature to have this low resistance, saying they have no resistance breaks the laws of thermodynamics. But yes, their resistance is very small.
Copper is not the best electrical conducter even by a long shot
Actually, I looked it up and found out that superconductors--under certain conditions--do have zero resistance. According to Wikipedia, superconductivity is a phenomenon where a material that's below it's critical temperature has an electrical resistance of exactly zero. It sounded weird to me too, but there's so much about the universe we don't understand yet. We may need to re-visit the laws of thermodynamics.
The internet isn't a reliable source, I generally read up on a subject then use a textbook. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. I only find Wikipedia reliable when it comes to a living celebrity or subject I know. If it is inaccurate or outdated I'll fix it! Wikipedia even has a page about misleading information, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_lie Other than that I believe we will never know understand how the Universe works, but we will have a general idea how it works.
