I don't think there's probably an alloy with a high enough melting point realistically, so it'd have to probably layers upon layers of heat resistant materials, metal alloys and carbon allotropes. -
Denderth 8th Aug 2021Of course, said aerogel would only be simulated, as given the ingame properties of OXYG, it probably wouldn't work with OXYG in it. Perhaps layers of INSL and HEAC or something on the inside?

Denderth 8th Aug 2021I'm going to try designing a version 2, perhaps. Might try and engineer a form of aerogel ingame to go with it so that it can function semi-realistically.
-
Denderth 8th Aug 2021Of course, even then, chances are that, assuming the aerogel isn't thick enough and not reinforced with something, it wouldn't be reusable, especially in terms of things like the initial seconds of the explosion.
-
Denderth 8th Aug 2021Realistically, I guess it would need something perhaps akin to a tungsten alloy, but based on Tungsten's melting point, it would need to be alloyed with something of a similar melting point, but even so, it would probably have to have maybe an aerogel lining, perhaps.

Denderth 8th Aug 2021Hmm, true.

lets say the alloy is a titanium-lead alloy and if you combine their melting points it will be ~2000 C while in this test the casing reaches temperatures up to 10 000 C -
Denderth 7th Aug 2021The lead would effectively contain most if not all of the residual stuff, but the gloves would be a good idea for an extra safety precaution.

Denderth 7th Aug 2021Realistically, you'd need to wear something made from similar materials to a hazmat suit or perhaps lead-lined in order to safely pick it up, even if the grenade itself would be utilising some form of lead alloy.

Denderth 7th Aug 2021Well, yeah, obviously. In essence, if this were a real weapon, the reusable neutron grenade would have to be cleansed of radioactive element particles and such, especially if it utilised a radioactive element as a component of the core. The idea is that, like a flashbang, the explosion's controlled by the small openings, which would limit the external amounts of irradiation. If I had an ideal element to make this from realistically, it'd perhaps be a lead alloy.
