make diamond out of your microwave!??!?!?!?!

its worth a try. I mean if you can get something that looks like diamonds out of peanut butter then lets start the maSS production.

I've heard of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear but never diamonds out of peanut butter. This was worth a good bit of laughter, something that we might need a little more of around here. Just a note; I'm not disputing the possibility for such a reaction, just enjoying the novelness and humor in it.

hehehehe my friends here we go!
1st this is an gr8 marceting trick we got; all u can have after this "experiment" is need for new microwave ! and lot of smoke all over the house. graphit and diamond r same thing, bouth r carbon, and nothing else, no proteins... it is only another modification, same element but other structure of cristals... lot of that in nature, example is SiO2, it is sand, but also glass is made of SiO2...
what makes graphit a diamond is not only temperature, or microwave orbiting, u need high prassure!
thats why u have to dig in a dirt for those shinny beauties... best women's friend as some say...
if u burn anithing organic that black thing that remains is carbon... but ofcourse not diamond!
pressure guys, pressure hehehehe
p.s. how much money they offered u to ditribute this story? maybe new microwave, Tim? hihihihi
houpe u r satisfied

Quite right Freya, industrial manufacture of diamonds for utensil purpouses is usually accomplished with high pressure combined with temperature, the micro wouldn't do that for you.

Glass cutters for instance cost a lot less than an engagement ring and the little wheel isn't transparent but it's the allotropic form of diamond rather than that of graphite or what.

Hyp: I find a way of cheaply making jewel quality diamonds, indistinguishable from the best of South African mines and I publish the recipe on the Net,

Th: The market value of diamonds will crash to dirt ground. There'd be no "big buck" for the internaut who takes the bother of trying it.

Unless, of course, you currently have investments in diamonds. In this case, try the experiment immediately, so as to know whether you should re-invest before it's too late!

i guess you are right..... check out the phase diagram for carbon...

lowest preesure in the diamond phase is... about .5 Giga-Pa!!!!

by the way, can anyone tell me what is a reason for not to put the STANIOL ( coat of chocolate) in a microwave?

[Qfwfq]

While some may be confused by 'staniol' I'm sure you must mean tin-foil. Any metallic surface is a good reflector of microwaves. While some bits of tin-foil in and around the food are used by some cooks to get the distribution they want, you need to be careful not to totally prevent the waves being absorbed. This care is necessary to avoid the field becoming so strong that it could damage the appliance.

Company in Switzerland will make deceased spouses into diamonds...
You then have the choice of what to set him/her into...

Prince Albert anyone?

What do they turn ex-spouses into? Goat droppings?

it tells you how to do an experiment to make diamond out of peanut butter!

"A Complete Procedure to Produce Diamonds
LOW ENERGY NUCLEAR TRANSMUTATION / ALCHEMY "

You believe that crap? Do you believe any of that crap?

Deposition of carbon at ambient pressure will only get you graphite unless you are in a bath of hydrogen radicals. The original work was Bradford Pate's' PhD thesis at Stanford that became the rational basis of argon/hydrogen/methane CVD diamond. That is the whole of it.

The publicity stunt of General Electric making high pressure/high temperature diamond out of peanut butter was actually quite awful. Tracy Hall's kids are in the HPHT business big time,

sintered diamond and c-BN

All that makes is abrasive. Gem diamond synthesis is high art and won't get you much beyond a couple of carats.
