Talk:Dark Elixir Storage/@comment-11668083-20180803151918

Being the huge nerd that I am, I think that the description of the Dark Elixir storage is absolutely ridiculous.

"... As it's three times as powerful [as normal elixir], we had to invent a cubical form of storage!"

The problem with this is that a cube has significantly less structural integrity than a sphere does. If you apply pressure to the inside of a sphere, all sides have an equal distance from the middle of the container, and so the pressure is equally divided over the whole inner surface.

In a cubical container, however, the pressure will be unevenly distributed, so the middle of all of the six sides are going to be under a lot much strain because it's going to be strive for equilibrium in the form of a sphere.

Also, a cubical storage has a nearly infinite amount less walls than a spherical one, since every atom of the sphere could count as an individual wall since they are the same distance away from the center, and not just simply one wall because of it having one continuous surface, like whoever came up with this seems to reason. :p

The true way to make a stronger storage would be to build an even stronger sphere, or dividing the liquid up into several smaller partitions to divide the internal pressure further, or depending on the metallic composition of the liquid, perhaps even erect a strong magnetic field to store it in, thus completely bypassing the need of walls

Supercell devs, if you're reading this, could you perhaps consider making an addendum to the description that acknowledges or pokes fun at the physical inaccuracy of the cubical storage? :p

Something like "(Just trust us, it makes perfect sense.)"
