Gel (GEL)
-
Now I know that we're not currently accepting elements at the moment, but I really think this is a great idea, and I want to suggest it before I forget. But if not I can always re-suggest another time.
Gel (GEL):
A pale lime green coloured (B1FF4A) liquid (if solid is possible it would be better) that, like mercury and deuterium, expands and contracts it's volume, but in the presence of pressure, not temparature. It would grow under positive pressure and shrink under negative pressure. This is because it has more uses. It would be non-flammable, reflect photons and neutrons, and be non-conductive.
I think this would be a useful addition to TPT because there are no very similar elements and it has a good vararity of uses, for example, if placed in a tube with a non-insulative material of pressure, a pressure-meter could be made. Along with a detector wall could make a pressure sensor for a bomb or an electronic component. It could be used in a nuclear power plant to shut off the reactor if the pressure was to high.
I would code this myself, but I know to little about the way DEUT and MERC work, and even after reading through twice, I still have to little understanding. This has been suggested to Me4502's mod, and as he responded, will probably appear in an upcoming version.
Please comment your views and suggestions.

It might have to grow like VINE, is that all right? That's the easiest way I can think of.

Ok, deut expands due to it's life value, increase it's life, increase it's volume.
merc's life value is used for sprk. Instead, it uses it's tmp for expansion.
hoped this helped.Edited by nmd, 2011-06-13 22:01:51 -

you could do liquid. Also, it would be non-flammable, reflect neutrons and photons, non-conductive
