[ sometimes you can't say no to people. one of the people Cloud can't say no to is Aerith. so when she sends him a video, he has to do spread it. some of his friends? he feels bad for.
then there are other people... that he wants to suffer with him. so enjoy ]
I had taken on a little project for someone, and I wonder if it could be of use to you. It's a heat sink, and I imagine you might already know what it is, but while I've managed the original one fine, I've also tried to take it further. The one I've made is capable of not only dispersing the heat but also collect and recycle it to be used as energy through other components.
Still a bit of a work in progress, and thought you could take a look, see what you think.
[ It may take a day or two (Cid hadn't said it was urgent) but Emet-Selch eventually does show up at the other man's workshop. He sends a message the night before to notify Cid of his coming, so it shouldn't be a complete surprise when he knocks on whatever passes for the front door the next day. ]
[Indeed, time didn't matter too much and as Cid had said he would be frequenting his workshop often for the other projects he advertised. So once Emet-Selch arrives and knocks on the door, he'll hear a small whoosh of air and the door opening inwardly on its own.]
[ An automatic door? He raises an eyebrow as he walks through. It's not something he expected to see so soon. When Cid comes into view, he waves a lazy greeting. ]
I am. I couldn't possibly miss the chance to see you at work. And it may help my own project, besides.
[It's still a work in progress and using a basic system if he wants to ask about it, especially since Cid is using a button to activate it. And it. Kind of creaks as it s l o w l y closes behind Emet-Selch, but better than past incidents...]
I should hope so. It's original application was for someone's weapon, but I thought it could have other uses.
[Cid will stand from where he is and move to another work desk that has certainly seen better days. There will be the device in question—two, actually—both box-like in shape and no bigger than one's palm. They're both rather unassuming and simplistic in their looks, with the only difference between them is one has a few orange marks on it and extra vents as part of its exterior design.]
Mind, this is a small version but I've come up with a few potential designs to make it larger that isn't a straight increase in materials. But even at this size it can keep a sizable surface cool.
[ He follows Cid over to the other table. A cursory glance doesn't reveal much and, if it's purely mechanical, he knows his Sight won't reveal anything more. But that doesn't bother him - in fact, it only piques his curiosity further. ]
How does it work? What do you plan to attach it to?
[ He's already thinking about other versions of heat sinks that he has seen from other shards and mentally comparing. ]
I had been studying the elemental crystals that are naturally found in this world along with some other material that helps magical elements be used more efficiently. Through this I came up with a system that only requires a small number of water crystals to give that cooling effect to keep things from overheating.
[He'll start opening the tops and sides of the boxes now so Emet-Selch can see the inside don't ask how it looks JUST PRETEND IT'S SOMETHING COOL AND NEW AND WORKS SOMEHOW]
I've had them working for days and the amount is still near full capacity, and to replenish them you only need to take out this component and let it soak in water or even use one's own water sells to give it a little "charge."
This can be used in a variety of uses where you need to keep something from overheating.
The other version I have here recycles the heat to be used for various uses, including expulsion. So far it's only been tested on a certain individual's weapon, which is how I even came about to study these handy devices.
Ideally. These work quite well for small, everyday uses, but if they were to be used in something more powerful then it's either using multiple or creating a larger one. The latter, of course, being more efficient.
