Perpetual Plasma Ball

    I've started making a self-producing plasma ball which is powered purely through reactions alone and requires no 'input elements' such as Clone and Electrode.

     

     

     

    It's made by reacting exotic matter with electrons until it's converted to warp, then filling the majority of the ball with Deuterium and causing a fission reaction using Dest (although I suppose a single neutron would do if you want more Deuterium fuel).  The Plasma is then generated and the temperature and pressure means that Plasma will be continually generated with no need for any input at all.

     

    As you can see, the only way you would prevent the ball from self generating is if you remove the majority of diamond from the ball.  So long as the majority of the diamond remains, the conditions are still perfect for the reaction.  You can use this for a lot of things, such as producing a long-lasting/perpetual plasma generator above a city, heat generator etc.

     

    It's only my first release and hence, any critique/suggestions would be appreciated. :)

     

    Edit: Discovered a bug where after a very long period of time, some deuterium fuel isn't converted to neutrons and instead gathers at the base of the ball (doesn't interrupt the plasma generation process but visually wrong :P).  I'll try and fix this and post the updated version later.

    Interesting. There are a few autocatalytic reactions in PT; one of my favorite is Uranium/Boyle gas. It's gotten even more fun since titanium is around.

    It looks cool but that's where the praise stops you see its utterly useless because its only infinite while contained and if you remove the barriers its fails

    I tested before I released it and you must've deleted virtually all of it to have stopped it self-generating.  So long as most (3/4 give or take) of the diamond remains, it WILL self-generate for a long period of time.
