158 degrees Fahrenheit isn't even hot enough to boil water, let alone create a self-sustaining fire.

There's also the matter of why we're using Fahrenheit in this article, when metric measurements are the standard here. The temperature should be listed in Celsius or Kelvin.

Perhaps this Wikipedia article on autoignition temperatures will help with coming up with a more appropriate temperature. Alternatively, one could simply omit the temperature altogether, since not all materials have the same kindling point (ex.: triethylborane spontaneously ignites at −20 °C, while paper does so at 450 °C).

Does anyone know if the author is still available? If so I would like to go through and do some edits for readability as well as fix some of those imperial/metric conversions.

DrKamen's last contribution and last post/comment were on 11 Feb 2009 - over a year ago. Don't know whether he or she is still available, though.

DrClef 16 Feb 2010 16:50

Go ahead and fix them.

Edits done to change tone, there were a couple that I felt needed drastic changes to work, but I hope I kept the original 'feel' of the article.

They never do explain why they terminate the Class Ds. Maybe there are further stages…

I wonder how less serious disorders would fare, such as ADHD, or savantism.

I think it'd be cool to see what'd happen if someone with Bipolar Disorder put it on.

Kinda makes you wonder what this would do to Able…

Also might be useful in approaching other mental-illness-causing SPCs, dealing with/moving them, then having the D-class take the thing off before symptoms manifest.

Experiment 03 is absolutely disgusting. This is the first time anything on this site has actually disturbed me in well over six months.

I liked it, but the Pyromania log has way too many expungements, some of them in places that don't make sense.

Similarly, there are obviously 6 digits for the kelvin numbers which is an outlandish amount of energy to have sustained.

hydrazoic 25 Sep 2018 23:47

I think he developed a nuclear fusion organ. That would explain why his body was magnetic and the new organ was said to be containing something and remained at an elevated temperature. That would also possibly explain the 6 digit kelvin temperature

Putting a pyromaniac in that thing just generally seems like a bad plan.

Test 04, hyperphagia, reminded me of Erysichthon; he devoured himself from sheer, unrelenting hunger.

_{He ordered a grove sacred to Demeter cut down, and felled the most sacred tree himself. The dryad of the tree cursed him as she died. Demeter made sure it happened. You listening, GOC?}

I'm wondering why the heck they weren't looking into better shielding for the staff, since they were being affected every time.

I'm curious about what would happen to someone with DID who got put in the straitjacket. I think it'd be really interesting as long as it's done respectfully
