Experiment: Water
The Water experiment is one of 12 experiments in the laboratory, available at laboratory tier 4.
The goal of the Water Experiment is to pump a certain amount of water and cool said water to a certain temperature.
Experiment
The water experiment consists of 2 main parts: the Tank and the Battery. The tank can initially hold up to 100 L of water.
Below the Tank are 3 buttons:
- Fill: Fills the tank at a rate of 1 L/s
- Freeze: Cools the contents of the tank down at a rate of 0.5°C/L/h
- Drain: Drains the tank at a rate of 1 L/s
Additionally, there is a button below the battery:
- Charge: Charges the battery at a rate of 2 W/s
You can only have 1 of these buttons active at any one time.
Upgrades
The upgrade store allows you to buy upgrades for the experiment tab. These upgrades consist of but are not limited to: Additional pump speed, Additional battery charge rate, Additional tank volume, Cooling speed, Power usage and various boosts. The price of each upgrade starts out at 100 
, and gets multiplied by x100 every time you buy an upgrade. Upgrades and upgrade costs can be reset with the Reset button, along with all experiment progress.
Prestige
Prestige drains all of the water from the tank, resets its temperature back to 20°C and the battery back to 0W. You have to choose between 2 bonuses:
- +1 Free Upgrade: You are able to buy an additional upgrade from the store for no charge.
- Lower upgrade cost scaling: Lowers upgrade store cost scaling by 5 additively.
All bonuses are multiplicative.

Trivia
- The water experiment was reworked in update V0.8.4 B1
- The battery and the whole experiment displays power used as Watts per second (W/s), despite the Watt already being a unit of energy consumption (Joules per second).
- The module Absolute zero is a reference to the concept of Absolute Zero in physics.
