= Gas Shells =
Before playing with bombs directly, you are recommended to try out gas shells first. They are far less punishing and final than a proper bomb test.

To do gas shell experiments, you will need to visit the [[File:Tank_Compressor.png]] tank compressor. The tank compressor in essence is an overgrown pump. It is mainly used to burst tanks with exotic contents inside, letting it spew into the collection chamber to be evaluated.

The tank will then either spring a leak or explode, both of which will be contained by the machine. In case of a leak, it's advised to wait for the tank to empty before removing it from the machine. In case of an explosion, all of the gas content will be outputted to the collection chamber.

Upon a succesful ejection or detonation, the collection chamber's gas data will be finalized and recorded into an experiment file. A printable experiment is then available to be printed into a data disk. Gas in the chamber will also be flushed into the output port.

To properly use this contraption, there are two course of action you can take:
* Overpressurize a tank with the experiment gas 
** Pros: Very quick to do.
** Cons: Difficult to clean the input port up, less control.
* Prefill a tank with the experiment gas, overpressurize it with another gas in the compressor.
** Pros: Easier to clean the input port up, more control over the number of moles.
** Cons: Takes a bit more time, requires a portable pump in most cases.

To do the former, simply:
# Prepare an empty (or default) tank from the [[File:Tank_Dispenser.png]] tank dispenser. Insert it into the [[File:Tank_Compressor.png]] tank compressor.
# Wrench the [[File:PortablePump.png]] portable pump / [[File:Canister.png]] canister filled with the experiment gas (preferrably cooled) to the input port (green pipe) [[File:Atmos_Connector.png]] connector of the tank compressor.
# Maximize the input rate and activate the compressor using the UI (<b>left click</b> the machine)
# Set the [[File:Atmos_filter.png]] filter to filter only the experiment gas and turn it on.
# Move the original canister/pump with the experiment gas to the side node of the filter.

To do the latter,
# Prepare an empty (has to be empty) tank from the [[File:Tank_Dispenser.png]] tank dispenser. Empty it with the [[File:PortableScrubber.png]] portable scrubber.
# Prepare a [[File:PortablePump.png]] portable pump (canister is not recommended here) filled with the experiment gas (prefferably cooled).
# Put the empty tank in the portable pump, pump until the mole number you want is reached. 
#: <b>P = nRT/V</b>
#: n being the mole that you want (prefferably the target mole in the NT Frontier), R being the ideal gas constant (8.31), T being the temperature of the portable pump, V being tank volume (70L), and P being the pressure that you want to set in the portable pump. Eyeballing this however, is also perfectly fine.
# Insert the filled tank into the tank compressor.
# Grab a canister of gas that doesn't react with the experiment gas from the gas storage ([[File:N2_Canister.png]] Nitrogen tends to be rather stable and thus is recommended).
# Wrench the new canister into the input port, turn on the compressor and maximize it.
# Set the [[File:Atmos_filter.png]] filter to filter only the experiment gas and turn it on.
# Move the original pump with the experiment gas to the side node of the filter.

<b>Try and pay attention to the pressure at which tanks leaks or explodes, we might revisit this concept again later.</b>
