[Korvava] Invention of central water heating system - Mikuel - 04-24-2023
Applicable BYOND Key - Mikuel
Character Name - Daralam
Request Type - Scientific progress
Request Details - Altering of invention of heat-adjustable shower to be able to circulate heated water around in small buildings to keep them warm.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - Daralam was scouted by Meiaquar and they have been planning on expedition towards the tundra. Donna mentioned something like this would be useful so Daralam took it to himself to work on it
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request -
I forgot to take pictures but I have had some talk about it with Donna of Meiaquar and told others that I have been working on it off screen as sort of rp quip.
As for lore/how it would work "ic", basic idea is to have water container which contains water that warmed with slips made out nerif's blood ore slotted outside of it, this is to allow the water temperature to be somewhat controlled. It is to be connected to "heaters" with two pipes, upper and lower. Hot water is less dense than cold one, so it rises to top and flows from there to the heaters, from where it radiates heat to the room. Cold water, being more dense, flows into the lower pipes and gets into the heater from which it heats up again. making the warm water circulate.
Due the technological limits, this invention could not be used to warm larger structures easily but in smaller ones and temporary camps located in caves, it can be used to heat the area without fire which otherwise would require firewood and carries fire hazards.
So whilst it takes more time to set up than campfire, is less powerful than fireplace and requires specialised heating (nerif blood slips), it produces less hazards, doesn't require constant watching and its fuel is less cumbersome to carry, thus making it useful in certain situations.
It should be noted that the water should not allowed to freeze OR the pipes will burst.
[edit]- moved to the "correct" area.
