as i've recently found out


Take some super glue. Now drop some super glue onto a toliet paper tube


Watch what happens, it takes 5~19 minutes to complete the process and don't use to much or it smokes and gets extremely hot.


Try it your self, i'm thinking it could have tons of uses for computers.

Yup, any time cyanoacrilate (superglue) comes in contact with cotton, wool, silk, really a bunch of natural fibers.. it sets of a severe exothermic reaction. I never really bothered to find out why though..

OOC, what uses were you thinking of in relation to computers?

you could use a timed superglue drip onto cardboard to create heat, which would heat up a boiler which would in turn create steam, driving a turbine hooked up to a charging coil that would in turn provide the power to the computer. :D

Ok, I'll need 100 tons of cyanoacrilate and 5 million cotton balls. :D

That's the same method used in Beverly Hills Cop to create the smoke that revealed fingerprints
