Idea: Nitrogen(N2) & Nitrous Oxide(NO2)
-
PROPERTIES
N2 is a nonmetal, which under specific circumstances, different compounds be produced. N2 condenses at 195.15 C and freezes at 210.15 C.
REACTIONS
In general, nitrogen is unreactive at standard temperature and pressure. N2 reacts spontaneously with PLSM and FIRE, being resilient to ACID. It creates NO2 (Nitrous Oxide) when burned with OXYG.PHASES
liquid- LN2 (liquid nitrogen, existing element)
gas- N2
solid- NICE (nitrogen ice, existing element)NO2 USESEngines
Nitrous adds power by adding extra oxygen in a compact form into an engine. Of course,to combust this extra oxygen you need a corresponding amount of extra fuel to accomplish this. Nitrous also cools down the intake charge,making it denser,thereby allowing more molecules per cylinder-making more power. There is no limit in how much liquid Nitrous Oxide you can get into a motor,but the motor itself can only take so much stress before it breaks something. Because nitrous increases cylinder pressure-a product of stuffing more oxygen into a cylinder. Running a Nitrous engine lean will cause "hot spots" on the pistons that may destroy them in a few short seconds. Nitrous pumps up the pressure output of engines immensly, this is how it adds more power to an engine. It also keeps this added torque to the power peak,increasing hp immensely also.-M -
I like the idea of adding the 3rd state of matter for nitrogen, but it'll break saves.Currently when LN2 evaporates it dissapears. With your suggestion it turns into a gas instead. Semi problematic.Ignoring that, what does NO2 do in TPT? I can't remember what it does irl. Too long since chemistry class.

We used to have N2; it was removed because it was inert and useless.Pistons AFAIK can only be made with moving solids. which will never happen,
