Description

Dropping metaballs in a sealed filled with laughing gas, has some very interesting and very useful results. 1. Green ones bounce once, then get tired and collapse. 2. Purple ones liquify 3. Yellows become highly energized and burn themselves up. 4. White, being a combinaton of all colors, divide into their separate hues again. 5. Black ones increase in weight tenfold. 6. Blues become brittle. 7. Red ones become weightless and float.

The concept alone is worth a vote; the visualization is worth another. Gimme a dozen black and 2 dozen assorted other colors.

You know, funny you would bring this up..why just the other day I thought to myself "How would different colored metaballs react in a room filled with laughing gas?" HAHAHA...Now I know...very clever Dave, and a ton of fun! (=

You should be working in aerospace Dave! The word genius definitely applies... your brilliance precedes you and follows you wherever you go... 100 votes for concept alone... another 100 for execution!
