interesting this is all being burned in the open.. barium salts are poisonous typically? ok to burn all this stuff on an open table?

Hey what's Dan Mangan's favorite metal?

Barium!

>> ^EDD:
The red and green laser-like effects for projectiles kind of subtract from the realism, no?
Audio is very nice - graphics not so much, though.

You've never seen green tracers, before? The US and NATO in general uses phosphorous in its tracer element, which tends to burn orange/red. Soviet ammunition has always used barium, even back to WW2, which instead burns green.

This game looks really good. Two more weeks till it's released here.

yes it is very possible to imagine these things and sell books about them or include them in HRs. i was looking for something more like a scientific paper, some actual proof or a laboratory that actually exists.

The Dave Dahl one sounds more interesting though, because it isn't related to secret government plots to kill half the population with barium cobwebs.

although barium can be used as a poison (when mixed with water or acid). There are a lot of other man made products that use barium. Such as spark plugs, batteries, superconductors, dyes, vacuum tubes, florescent lights, bricks, rubber, glass, medicine and in manufacturing processes. Sounds like pollution to me. I don't see how the government fits into this.

big brother knows best. i needed more barium in my diet, anyhow.

“In the tags, what is "thermate"?”

Many people believe that the molten steel or iron that is shown in a couple of 9/11 and post-9/11 videos is caused by a patented demolition charge coil that is normally wrapped around a steel column in order to cut it cleanly and quickly.

Analysis of steel samples from WTC steel:
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/06/341238.shtml

"Thermate is an incendiary compound used for military applications. Thermate, whose primary component is thermite, also contains sulfur and possibly barium nitrate, both of which increase its thermal effect, create flame in burning, and significantly reduce the ignition temperature. Various mixtures of these compounds can be called thermate, but, to avoid confusion with Thermate-TH3, one can refer to them as thermite variants or analogs. The composition by weight of Thermate-TH3 (in military use) is 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0% sulfur and 0.3% binder."

'shroomy, I had missed your "science" comment before. cold does not make things float. in fact almost every substance contracts when colder. (same weight & smaller volume means what?) so colder means more dense, and most things would sink when colder.

The oddity of water is that it expands when frozen. So it actually floats as ice. And yes, there is ice at the north pole, a lot more in antarctica. (Soon to be a year round unfrozen sea in the artic circle though, so you keep-on keeping on with your global warming is a myth story.) It's as solid as your grasp of science.

no, it is a super-conductor.

most semi-conductors couldn't generate the kind of EM fields this does. the question is at what temperature can you make a material act like this, so this one is relatively high temp, liquid nitrogen (77K). It's probably an exotic material like Yttrium-Barium-Copper Oxide (Note the resistance goes down to zero).

Semiconductors are what make computers possible. Silicon and III-V materials are used because you can either make the device conduct electrons by applying a voltage, or it doesn't conduct when there is no voltage. That makes a possible 0's and 1's... and Intel Processors when you put a couple million of those devices (switches) together.
