Minecarts bouncing off a water/magma surface produce mist as well and they don't use up fluid in the process (as dropping sometimes does as far as I know).

Never seen dropping use up fluid, though minecarts can scoop up on a wave and fill themselves up. How did you encounter it?

As for skipping genning magma mist - at the very least, not necessarily with same setup. I'll do more testing with max speed carts someday, but when I ran low speed water skipper mister with magma instead, I got no mist.

Hmm. Back when I dropped things into magma to remove them from the game sometimes I had reduced magma tiles running around in the pool after the drop, ever since I assumed it uses up magma over time. I never compared it to mist making with water, but skipping does indeed produce magma mist. (My testing ground: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=149115.msg6305845#msg6305845)

When I did the water and magma mist mix experiments, didn't have any reduction of either with dropping ore/stone/minecarts in that I noticed....

However, I can confirm design linked still works in 42.06 on a quick test (with and without putting a floor on last track tile), so I can only guess magma needs more speed than water *shrug*
