	Halon is created when a mixture of CO2 and N2O ~~come~~ into contact with an electrolyzer at temperatures below 230K, the rate at which CO2 and N2O are consumed is 2:1. Procure an electrolyzer board either from engineering, or from an unidentified lathe in RnD, as well as an atmos holofan. Prevent any gasses escaping from the freezer chamber with the holofan, and then simply place the electrolyzer in the freezer chamber and turn it on. Make sure the cooling loop is working, and then fill the chamber with CO2 and N2O, and configure the scrubber to extract halon. There should be no problem using the freezer after having used it for BZ, since the setup only requires minor changes.

	Tritium (hydrogen works in the exact same way) reacts with oxygen at temperatures over 493.15 K (100°C), forming one mol of water vapour for every two mol of tritium and one mol of oxygen consumed. This reaction releases a large amount of heat (2e8 joules per mol of tritium consumed), making it one of the best candidates for high-yield explosives. The amount of energy released is directly proportional to the amount of tritium consumed, so for a large explosive the goal is to maximize this number. The amount of tritium consumed depends on the amount of oxygen present when the reaction occurs; at most half the tritium present can be consumed per reaction tick, which only occurs if there is ten times as much oxygen (or higher) present. After the gas in a TTV mixes there are generally two useful ticks before the explosive power of the bomb is calculated and the bomb detonates, to get the most energy out of our mix, we want the mixture in the second tick to be exactly 10:1 O2:tritium. The magic number that makes this happen is a mix with 12.85% tritium, and the remaining 87.15% oxygen, both mixed in the cold tank(about 325 kPa tritium, followed by maxing out the tank with 2533 kPa Oxygen). It is important to check if your burn mixture will actually reach the right temperature when mixed with your hot tank before you attempt the toxins test, you can use the anomaly refinery to simulate the tank mixing to see if this is the case. Keep in mind that hyper-noblium does not stop reactions when used in amounts under 5 mol, and can thus be safely used in the hot ~~mix~~		Tritium (hydrogen works in the exact same way) reacts with oxygen at temperatures over 493.15 K (100°C), forming one mol of water vapour for every two mol of tritium and one mol of oxygen consumed.

Reactionless Explosives

	Reactionless explosives depend on a difference in heat capacity of two different types of gasses in separate tanks. One tank is filled with a hot gas with a high heat capactiy, while the other is filled with a cold gas with a low heat capacity. When the contents are mixed by opening a tank transfer valve, the temperature between these gasses equalizes, but the amount of energy needed to heat up the cold gas is far smaller than the amount of energy needed to lower the temperature of the hot gas, resulting in a very high end temperature, this in turn causes a high pressure and an explosion.

	To achieve this, we can simply transfer oxygen or nitrogen into a portable pump, which we then cool and pump into a tank, making up the cold portion of our bomb. Oxygen and nitrogen work fine for this, although the highest tier of this experiment is only achievable with [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Atmospherics_201:_Further_theory_and_Gases\|Anti-Noblium]]. For the hot part of the mixture we first need a source of energy, to this end, we use a gas mixer to fill an empty canister with 70% plasma, and 30% oxygen, higher pressures will achieve higher end temperatures, but only ~~slightly~~ changes in explosive radius, so we will only pressurize the canister to 1000 kPa. Next, make sure to '''shield the burn mixture canister''', before heating it to at least ~~474~~.15 kelvin with a thermomachine, and then disconnect it. This mixture in this "sun can" will slowly burn up, increasing the temperature of the canister. While waiting for the sun can to finish burning, fill another canister with approximately 5 mol of either plasma, or hyper-noblium for the best results, '''do not forget to shield this can either'''. Use your RPD to connect two connectors with a heat transfer pump, and proceed to use it to transfer the thermal energy of our sun can into our new canister. To put our hot gas into a handheld tank for our bomb, you can either directly connect it to the canister, or use the tank compressor to reach a much higher pressure, just make sure to reconstruct the tank compressor beforehand to flush its internal gas buffer.

	For both the BZ Gas shell experiment and for the efficient formation of hyper-noblium, you will need BZ Gas. Thankfully, the ordnance lab comes equipped with a freezer chamber suited to do just this. BZ is the product of a reaction between two mol of plasma and one mol of nitrous oxide, this reaction happens fastest at lower pressures. We will modify the freezer chamber to be fed directly by a gas mixer, fed by one plasma canister, and one nitrous oxide canister. The node with the plasma canister should be set 67%, leaving the other node at 33%, the pressure should be maximized. Next, use the unlocked air alarm on the freezer chamber wall to set the scrubber inside of the chamber to scrub BZ at extended range, and turn it on. Lastly, connect a CO2 or Plasma canister to the cooling port on the side off the freezer, and turn on the thermomachine at the lowest temperature. To start the formation, use the computer console, select the freezer chamber, and change the input to 1l/s before turning it on. The plasma/nitrous oxide mixture will now trickle in, slowly forming BZ, connect a canister or small pump to the output to collect your finished BZ.

	The formation of hyper-noblium can be used in the production of bombs, as well. Unlike most bombs, this type requires two cold tanks, the temperature of which should not exceed 15K when combined. Fill one tank with tritium, and the other with ten times as much nitrogen. When mixed these gasses will form hyper-noblium. Without BZ to lower it, enough energy is released to make a sizable explosion.

	Hyper-Noblium is a gas created by mixing nitrogen and tritium at below 15 kelvin. This reaction creates a large amount of heat, which can be reduced by adding BZ (BZ will not be consumed if used this way). The simplest way of creating Hyper-Noblium is by making all the necessary gasses react in a pipe loop. Place down a gas filter in a location with enough space and add a connector to the output, set this filter to remove Hyper-Noblium. Now add a loop of pipes to connect the output of the filter to the input, it is helpful to use a different colour to make sure this pipe doesn't connect to any other pipes in ordnance. Now hook up a thermomachine to the loop, making sure it has tier 3 parts (so it can reach below 15 kelvin), Set this to the lowest temperature and turn it on. Last, add a volume pump hooked up to a connector to input gasses into your newly created loop (You can use two or three if you don't want to contaminate the canisters you use to input gas). Dump both tanks of nitrogen, and any and all BZ you have managed to produce into this loop, followed by a small amount ( around 150-200 mol should be plenty for the highest level noblium shells) of tritium. Once all of this has cooled down, Hyper-Noblium will start pouring out of the filter, you can connect this immediately to a portable pump for the gas shells experiment.

This reaction creates a large amount of heat, which can be reduced by adding BZ (BZ will not be consumed if used this way). In addition to lowering the heat released, BZ will also reduce the amount of tritium consumed, it is recommended to have several thousand mol of this if possible.

This applicaiton is used to publish papers, see which papers have already been published, and see which experiments are available and what their requirements are. To publish a paper, you first need a data file gathered by either the tank compressor, or tachyon-doppler array. Once you have downloaded a data file from a portable disk, you can use the "publish papers" tab to complete one of the available experiments. First fill out all the empty boxes with a relevant ~~titel~~, your name, ~~and~~ and optionally an abstract of what you did (or just fill in random nonsense). Next select your data file, and the type and tier of experiment you want to complete, followed by which partner you wish to publish it too. Publishing a paper rewards science with research points, credits for the budget, and any related discounts. The exact reward depends on the type and tier of the experiment, and which partner was chosen.
