Thermal water

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
(Due to how hard it is to retrieve every bit of SCP XXXX from the surface of objects in contact)

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP XXXX is to be kept in 0.25x0.25x0.25 meter Teflon-coated lid-sealed steel tub. Any transfer of any quantity of SCP XXXX must not allow any amount to be left behind on the surface of the container used in transit, as it will remain anomalous. Do not allow contact with cloth or other porous substances, unless said substances can be burned; since, it being that SCP XXXX cannot evaporate away, no amount of drying will remove SCP XXXX. The only ways to remove SCP XXXX from a porous substance are high-pressure compression and burning, wherein SCP XXXX is filtered out of the ashes. Access is permitted for personnel of level two (2) or higher.

Description:
SCP XXXX is a quantity of one (1) liter of water originally contained in an ████████ brand alkaline water bottle. It is highly acidic, with a pH of about 4.5. This is believed to be the only reason that it was not consumed upon purchase.
When objects other than SCP XXXX’s container are placed in contact with SCP XXXX, they will experience a heat gradient along the area in contact polarized along the local magnetic fields, with each point along the surface experiencing a temperature dependent only on its distance from the center of the object along local magnetic fields. Tests indicate that the temperature rises at a rate of the room temperature in Kelvin times the distance from the center in meters squared, with no limits currently found.
SCP XXXX is incapable of vaporization. When multiple objects have been placed in the container, even in close proximity to each other, their surface temperature gradients have been found to function independently of each other.
Attempts to mix SCP XXXX with regular water have demonstrated that SCP XXXX’s effect can be diluted to, at the lowest, 2% of its regular efficacy. The only way to retrieve SCP XXXX from dilution is boiling, as the regular water will boil away leaving SCP XXXX behind, bubbling but releasing no gas.

Test 1: A 19 cm pencil is placed inside of SCP XXXX, aligned North to South.
Result: The temperature at the tip of the pencil rises from 25 degrees Celsius to 27.69 degrees Celsius, while the eraser’s temperature decreases to 22.30 degrees Celsius.

Test 2: A 19 cm pencil is affixed to another 19 cm pencil end to end using superglue, and then placed inside of SCP XXXX, aligned North to South.
Result: Each pencil’s temperature gradient functioned independently. Post-fabrication affixation appears not to affect SCP XXXX’s definition of an object.

Test 3: An infrared thermometer observes the temperature of SCP XXXX’s surface while it contains no other objects.
Result: SCP XXXX’s surface temperature is uniformly room temperature.

Test 4: An infrared thermometer observes the temperature of SCP XXXX’s surface 1 second after an object is removed.
Result: SCP XXXX’s surface temperature is uniformly room temperature, with no remaining gradient.

Test 5: SCP XXXX is transferred to a shallow 4x4 meter container. 3.42 meters of woolen yarn are placed within, north-to-south.
Result: The north end of the yarn bursts into flame, which is unable to spread due to SCP XXXX’s temperature gradient.

Test 6: SCP XXXX, with the specifications for test 5, is exposed to a rotating magnetic field from a permanent magnet.
Result: The ends of the yarn are alternately inflamed and extinguished, as the field passes over them.

Test 7: A permanent magnet is placed within SCP XXXX.
Result: The magnet’s north face warms while its south face cools. This effect continues to increase until the magnet is gradually denatured on a microscopic scale.

Test 8: SCP XXXX is cooled to zero degrees Celsius. A pencil is then placed in contact.
Result: SCP XXXX froze, in accordance with the room temperature. However, when in contact with the pencil, the northern end began to melt.
