Rank: Researcher

 

SCP: 457

 

List of Personnel involved in testing:

Researcher Schittlips

 

Question/Preferred Outcome:

SCP-457 has shown the ability to maintain a certain minimum level of flame, despite all attempts to lower its level further.

The hypothesis is that this regenerative ability of SCP-457 can be exploited to create a near endless source of low level energy.

 

Risks/Safety Precautions:

SCP-457 was reduced to its lowest state using focused fire extinguisher fire.

Normal SCP-457 risks were present throughout the test, and accounted for accordingly.

 

Procedure/Analysis: 

SCP-457 was reduced to minimum state and placed under a standard issue metal coffee pot filled with 1 liter of water at a standing temperature of 30c. The pot was then allowed to sit for 157 seconds above SCP 457, at which point the water was brought to a boil and the test was stopped.

This signifies an energy change of 70 kilocalories, or 292880 joules within 157 seconds. This measures to an incredible 1.865 kilowatts of output power from an idle SCP-457. SCP-457 was rewarded for testing with a single drop of gasoline delivered by eyedropper.

It is important to note that this idle energy yield is much higher than a non anomalous flame of similar size, even with ample fuel, which scp-457 did not have.

Energy/Item(s) Gained:

one (1) pot of coffee. Consumed by Researcher Schittlips.

 

Conclusion:

It appears that SCP-457 can be efficiently utilized quite easily, with a much higher energy yield than similar non anomalous combustion methods.

It may be worth investigating how efficiently SCP-457 burns combustible fuels, despite the inherent breach risk involved.

I recommend a custom designed coffee machine be built into SCP-457's containment chamber to help assist Researchers with procuring caffeine.

Also the construction of an apparatus for long term extraction of energy from SCP-457's ground state. After the coffee machine though.
