Description
HarJel is a black gel developed by http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clan_Diamond_Shark. It is created from a naturally occurring (petroleum-like?) substance, of which Clan Diamond Shark controls the only sources. This material can be found in the http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Twycross systemhttp://www.sarna.net/wiki/HarJel#cite_note-0 and in the Clan Homeworlds. Clan Diamond Shark sells HarJel to all the other http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clans
The Harjel III system has a improvements in its monitoring and distribution systems, and largely dose the same thing as its predecessor.
[edit] Uses
HarJel is used in two capacities:
As a component of http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Elemental_(battle_armor) it is used to absorb shock, seal breaches in the armor and control the http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Elemental bleeding. As hull sealant on Clan space vessels.
[edit] BattleMech HarJel System
The Diamond Sharks introduced this system in http://www.sarna.net/wiki/3059, but by http://www.sarna.net/wiki/3067 the http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Lyran_Alliance had reverse-engineered the system.http://www.sarna.net/wiki/HarJel#cite_note-1 The BattleMech HarJel System is an http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Experimental_Technology piece of equipment that closes gaps in the armor of a BattleMech. This allows a 'Mech equipped with such a system (like the http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Aquagladius) to operate underwater without fearing a hull breach, as long as armor is still present. (Once all armor is gone from a location, it's automatically breached.) The original Harjel system's main drawbacks are its bulk and its behavior when hit by weapons fire. But The "bulk issue" results from the need to have a HarJel system in every location that needs to be protected. that was resolved in 3069 by adding small cylinders of HarJel, in critical areas that deploy as needed instead of coating the entire area of a potential problem. but much like the original Harjel systems implemented, If a HarJel system is destroyed by weapons fire all HarJel stored in that location will expand automatically, flooding the components and weapons with sealant and rendering them useless. Removing the hardened sealant effectively doubles repair time. Ammunition stored in a HarJel-encased location cannot be dumped.http://www.sarna.net/wiki/HarJel#cite_note-2
Notes [edit] Game Notes
BattleMech HarJel Systems weigh one ton and take up a single critical location in a BattleMech.[4] Each location to be protected needs its own BattleMech HarJel System, so to completely protect a BattleMech would require seven systems: One for each arm, leg, and torso location. Due to the potentially crippling drawbacks, BattleMech HarJel systems cannot be installed in the location carrying the cockpit.[5] The BattleMech HarJel System costs 120,000 C-Bills per critical slot.[6]
BattleMech HarJel Systems can also be used by combat vehicles, but cannot be installed in a rotor or body location.[7]
Evolutions
Harjel II and Harjel III Auto-Repair Systems, Harjel evolutions introduced in the Age of Destruction, are prodigious automatic repair device for light and medium 'Mechs. References
