hear me out: tungsten chainmail blanket
Depleted uranium blanket. My sleep paralysis demon is a plutonium sphere.
Even though the radioactivity would be negligible, it would still be toxic as a heavy metal. Tungsten is definitely the way to go here.
Unless it’s thoriated tungsten anyway.
Thorium->Radium->Radon->Polonium->Lead (I think?)
Why would tungsten be thoriated? Is it an impurity which is hard to remove, or is it intentionally added for some specific purpose?
It’s used as electrodes for TIG welding torches. It was originally specified for aerospace and nuclear welding jobs because it’s really durable and handles heat well. And then it became popular everywhere else for the same reasons.
Now it’s supposed to be used less, but a lot of guys still like it for its consistency. If you don’t grind it to sharpen it it’s pretty safe to handle. So you can get pre ground electrodes for high end welding work.
Cool, TIL! How much is generally added? Is it a trace amount or a substantial fraction?
Looks like only 1-2% by weight.
Isn't tungsten kind of brittle? And radioactive?
The brittlenes apparently depends on the form it takes (polycrystalline or single-crystalline). And while there are some radioactive isotopes of tungsten most of them are synthetic and only made in a lab. The vast majority of the tungsten found on earth is stable.
Magnesium chainmail if you're sleeping on the surface of the sun or next to my tiny girlfriend
I'll say this for the thick girls, they're cool on the outside and don't bitch about freezing. Meanwhile, my 95lb. wife, permanently frozen and shedding heat like a hummingbird.
First thing in the morning, sweating my ass off, legs glued together...
"Babe! Let me embrace you!"
"Get OFF! pant, pant, pant
Well, fat is insulant, so it helps to keep the heat energy inside the body. Fat, therefore, also provides some protection against cold. On the other hand, if you live in areas with higher ambient temperature, it is more comfortable to be able to exhaust that heat, instead of storing it.
So, yes, it is a feature?
And I meant, that as fat has insulating properties, the lack of fat, ergo "tiny body" does not have insulating properties. Thus, a tiny body exhausts more heat, and therefore 1) feel cold more easily and 2) heats the surrounding area.
So yes, tiny bodytype tends to exhaust heat under a blanket.
Haters will say it's too hard to machine
Could even be a heated blanket that glows.
