- grae_QED 5y agoI'm not sure what fluid you'd be able to use on Venus' surface considering it's well over 400°C. Even mercury boils at 357°C.
- ccleve 5y agoMaybe use a gas?
- nealabq 5y agoThe CO2 on the Venusian surface is a supercritical fluid. Not sure if that's any help - it's still compressible and so still acts like a gas more than a liquid.
- NegativeLatency 5y agoIs that boiling point at 1 atmosphere?
- tokai 5y agoMolten salts
- a1369209993 5y agoMolten lead, maybe? It doesn't need to be a liquid on Earth.
