Day 477:<\/p>\n
Okay, so I’m going to have to do something with this red rock soon because it’s taking too much space up.<\/p>\n
I tried lighting it on fire, that didn’t do anything.<\/p>\n
Hitting it causes a spark, but some experimentation shows that the spark isn’t enough to light paper. Not sure about gas, don’t plan to experiment with gas. Gas explosions bad.<\/p>\n
So maybe I could use it as a switch?<\/p>\n
The Company’s electronics were always going bad so I know some very rudimentary electrical engineering, but we’re talking like super super basic stuff at the level of “make sure the power’s off before changing the light bulb”.<\/p>\n
But electricity uses… well.. circuits… and I’m decent at plumbing circuits… they can’t be too different… On the other hand, can’t make wire out of the red rock.<\/p>\n
Maybe if I line up the powder thick enough it’ll carry a spark?<\/p>\n
Investigation to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
