    Please know that Silver did NOT SEND THE DOG FLYING. He just put the dog on a rooftop.

      I'm still awake when I really shouldn't be.

      @SUSTIC
      I'll be sure to tell the others, just in case.

        It's okay, I can let it slide. Still going to post Silver's reaction to hearing a charging sound from behind.

          Yea, this is what's kept me up all night.

          (EDIT: To anyone that might find this, I spent ALL NIGHT looking into this, so PLEASE pay attention.)




          Hearing about the Arcanopulsate Reactor's incredible heat, I tried to look for a number for its temperature. Unfortunately, I found nothing.


          Instead, I decided to find John's temperature threshold.

          Now, when a space shuttle reenters the atmosphere, it's going at 17,500 mph (7.8 kilometers per second) (Mach 22.98957987124636).<1>

          According to this page (here), the shuttle would experience temperatures of up to 7,800 K (13,580.33 F).

          Why so high?

          It's because of a mathematical coincidence used by heat shield designers, to estimate peak shock layer temperature.

          Basically, .1 km/s = 100 Kelvin

          Therefore, 7.8 km/s = 7,800 K (13,580.33 F)

          Of course, according to this page (here), the heat resistant materials can only reach a temperature of up to 1,600 K (2,420.33 F).


          Now, let's take it a step further by using something that better fits John's size and wind resistance.

          Now, we use the Stardust with a PICA heat shield.<2>

          The 300 kilos (661.38 lbs) spacecraft is much closer to John's weight and size.

          It traveled at a speed of 27,738 mph (12.4 km/s) (Mach 36.43915410617841).<1>

          If we follow the same formula, then we'll find that the Stardust reached a temperature of 12,400 K (21,860.33 F).

          According to this (here), the PICA shielding, can only take up to 5,000 F.

          This led me to the conclusion that the air around the spacecrafts reach up to 10,000+ F, but the heat shields must be good at repelling heat, but only up to a certain point.


          The PICA shielding was created in 2007, so how well would heat shielding perform in the year 2557?


          For this, I tried to find the temperature of a HALO Plasma Pistol.

          Unfortunately, I only found the Plasma Pistol's power output of 150 kV @ 3 mA (45,000W).<3>

          The problem is, in order to find the temperature of the plasma shot, I would need to know the plasma's density and how long John is exposed to it.



          In the end, all I know is that John can be in places that are over 12,400 K (21,860.33 F), but not for too long.

          I don't know how good his heat shielding is, so I have to leave it up to the imagination.

          The original Space shuttle took flight in 1977.<4> That's when it's shielding could protect it from temperatures of up to 3,000 F.<5>

          In 2007, the PICA heat shields were developed, allowing spacecrafts to withstand temperatures of up to 5,000 F.<6>


          Taking all of this into account, I thought of a way to guesstimate how advanced John's heat shielding would be by simulating the progression of technology.

          There's a 30 year gap between both heat shield technologies and a 2,000 F gap between their temperatures.

          John's suit was made in 2557.

          Therefore,

          2007 - 1977 = 30

          2,000 F / 30 years = +66.66 F per year

          2557 - 2007 = 550 years

          550 years * 66.66 F per year = 36,663 F + 5,000 F = 41,663 F


          Using that, John's heat shields would have a maximum safe operating temperature of 41,663 F, meaning that John's suit can conduct that much heat before it starts to fail.

          If that's the case, and if wedo the same to the air around the spacecraft, then we find that he might be able to survive area temperatures of over 120,133.33 F, just as long as his suit can stay within the bounds of 41,663 F, but I'm not sure whether or not that's too OP.

          He is from the future, and MJOLNIR armor is said to cost more than a small starship, but is it too OP?

          If so, then what temperature threshold would you recommend?

          Just to put things in perspective, a nuclear blast has temperatures that range from 10,340.33 C (18,644.594 F) to well over 10,000,000 C (18,000,032 F).<7>

            Good mornin, everyone.

            @ SUSTIC
            Oh no I understand. I just forgot to mention the dog landing on a building.

              just to let you know that I will be off for 2-5 hours because of work
              Have you ever crossed the line between sanity and madness? You would be amazed by what lies beyond the fog..

                Starting nao? Or later?

                Comment


                  I guess now.

                  Anyways, Wriggle, when you get here, can you remind me why we were in Viet?

                    ok, im back

                    sorry about yesterday, was streesed

                      No problem.

                      Can you also tell me if my last post in OOC seems right to you?

                      Is it too OP? It does have it's ties to reality, but some of it is speculation.


                      @Wonder
                      But that's just a theory, an RP theory!

                      (Said it before you could nag me.)

                        Actually it fits with the series since a spartan can dropshot from space to a planet (halo 3 beginning) and can survive space subzero temperatures (halo legends and reach)

                        But I would say a spartan canīt survive a nuclear explosion, let alone a slipspace explosion (reach again)

                          Ya know what I wonder? Why you and Wriggle use so many damn equasions! For gods sake, I'm huey, and even I didn't resort to mathematics!

                          {That's because you don't know any.}

                          Yes I do!

                          {That you bother to use?}

                          ... MOVING ON!!!

                          Anyways, guess what? It's that time of day again! I'll be back from viola practice by 6:30. Otherwise, see ya'll later.

                            That's what I was thinking. A nuclear explosion can exceed temperatures of over 100,000,000 F! I don't think anybody could survive that, not unless you can walk on the sun.

                            If it's true, then that means plasma in Halo must be super-condensed and heated to incredibly high temperatures.

                            Then again, we are talking about an alien civilization, I'm pretty sure they're capable of making plasma like that.

                            I think John might be able to survive the Arcanopulsate Reactor's incredible heat.

                            If it makes you feel better, I was up all night working on it, trying to find things that were relevant to by problem.

                            I've had only about 2 hours of sleep.

                            Later.

                                That's what happened. When you're juggling between this RP, and RP's on other sites you lose track of which thread your in. I fixed it though.
