Fallout tech is based on over 130 years of pseudoscience from a genre known to play it lose with the very science it idolizes, and when you play it loose with physics you get stuff like a gram of nutronium exploding faster than an atomic bomb over an area so small it wouldn’t even break the average wooden table but having a boiling point so low that in earth like pressures it wouldn’t freeze even at absolute zero (meaning the atoms have literally stopped moving around).

Fun fact there is a fifth state of matter called Bose-Einstein condensate, its when matter gets in a really low temp and begins to get magnetic properties, some MRI equipments use them to produce the magnetic fields for doing the imaging.
@Tinyvalkyrie4105 жыл бұрын
I have never heard of an MRI using Bose-Einstein condensates, they pretty much exclusively use superconductors, which have some similar properties but are fundamentally different. As to whether or not condensates are a state of matter is basically a semantic debate. Another cool potential state is superfluid, and some people consider many other cool things to be states as well, such as glass and quantum hall state. My favorite new potential state of matter is definitely photonic matter, which is when photons behave as if they have mass. Super neat!

Vaporizing ppl basically is boiling the water. Ppl weigh 100kg..... boiling 100kg of water is not the energy used by the us home in 273 years. Some of these numbers are off by a few orders of magnitude. I could go on about laser rifles not having recoil....photons DO have momentum.... its a relativistic thing. Even if they didnt you would still get a recoil from the heated air. But generally quite a fun rant :-)

Your math is wrong; or more specifically, you've applied it incorrectly. You are not achieving complete 100% vaporization of the human body, or what the figures were for. You are not turning the solids and liquids of a body into a gas (vapor). Instead, you are breaking just enough molecular bonds to turn people into a steamy puddle of goo; which takes much much less energy. Basically if you put maybe a stick of dynamite into a well armored container with a body (basically containing the explosive force just to the body, not letting any of it escape into the environment: efficiency), you can achieve the steamy puddle you are looking for.

You're in a world where giant mutants are running around, the world is still inhabited straight after nukes have gone off all over the world, a guy in a fedora randomly spawns and one shots everyone and a raider can carry on firing at you after a .45 round to the face. Yet you're questioning whether plasma weapons are possible. Great vid though

This subject needs to be revisited, but for the Plasma Gun of DOOM(1993, II, 64, 3, 2016, and Eternal). Just all of DOOM Plasma Guns. You've already done the BFG 9000 so not that (unless you feel like including an update on it with something new you find). I also have a couple recommendations for a starting point: Dense Plasma Focus, and The Safire Project. They are both laboratory experiments involving studies of plasma structures. The Safire Project being a sort of proof, laboratory evidence, of the validity of Electric Sun Model (which serves as an older alternative to the Standard Model of the Sun) as well as the next big step in Plasma based Fusion power. The Dense Plasma Focus being an earlier experiment in an effort to successfully produce a fusion reaction with plasma (a sort of very early precursor to The Safire Project) which succeeded in producing what is called a Plasmoid.

@vladimirsilver26336 ай бұрын
Practical laser weapons are very loud and do have recoil. Gas dynamic lasers get energy from chemical combustion. The exhaust gas is vented causing recoil. No electricity is used. As for sound, continuous lasers are a really stupid idea for a weapon. Nanosecond pulsed lasers cause micro plasma detonations on target which is loud same as a normal gun. The lenses on lasers are also stupid. Plasma lenses will not be broken by high intensity pulses.

Also to everyone complaining that you're not 1 shotting enemies, it's irrelevant. For something to completely melt it would have to retain the energy from the previous shots that connected, which as we learned here, the energy dissipates. So to ACTUALLY melt anything at all, you do have to assume that it's in 1 shot, because I'm sorry to break this to you, but, in real life, people do not have Hit Points. If you get hit by a ball of plasma you're gonna die.
@faatarel8 жыл бұрын
Well, not quite. Different types of matter conduct heat differently (for example ceramics can simply break if heatshocked), so if the time elapsed between two shots is not long enough it won't disappear completely when the second shot hits. Meaning you CAN heat up mass by introducing energy to it periodically, either when its heat conductivity is bad or when the time between periods is small enough. You are right on the last part though, irl it won't matter at all, but irl there is no such thing as Wasteland either :p
