@XenoPredator 11 лет назад

It sounds good in concept but as far as I know no one has figured out how to print circuits on a diamond chip. The inconsistency of the diamond grains would also make it impossible to construct a chip out of them.

I made it clear in my first reply that they ought to be "worthless" in-terms of price, so I don't understand what you're trying to say. ~ Sand is useful as an abrasive, making glass, and some other things I'm sure. But the average person won't pay any money for a handful of sand, because they could just pick it up from the beach. A handful of sand is potentially useful but worthless in-terms of money, because like diamonds (if they were all to be let onto market) the supply exceeds demand.

@mel816 8 лет назад

could the diamond "glass" at 2:26 be used for future iPhone displays?

@euclideanplane 5 лет назад

why would you want fast thermal transfer on your iphone? or are you expecting to have a diamond unbreakable screen? I don't think any of these diamonds were see through unfortunately, you got a long ways to go on that, unless you're willing to accept a tiny layer of diamond (thin enough so it becomes opaque) ontop of a layer of glass, idk how that would help anyone

@Draco-jk3rb 4 года назад

diamond can shatter very easily as it is extremely brittle, so it would not make for a good screen. It would be scratch proof but if you dropped your phone the screen would shatter everywhere.

@twentytwo138 3 года назад

4 years later, i read somewhere they are planning to use diamond screens on smartphones, so i think your idea was good.

@alwaysyouramanda 2 года назад

I am convinced and have have had my suspicions since high school that diamonds have a place in technology and memory storage.. computers..

@ArhkXi 11 лет назад

Because they're so plentiful in number they should be essentially "worthless" in price. The only reason diamonds aren't folds cheaper is because the largest companies that buy diamonds at the source hold back a big amount from the market. There are also places known to have diamonds, but are not being harvested because of the precarious nature of the place in which they are found, and the unique skill and equipment that their retrieval would require. ~

it doesn't matter because the force of the bullet will still kill you even if it doesn't scratch the diamond armour, you want something that can dissipate its kinetic energy like Kevlar.

1:06 Those things at the right of his head are 4 freaking huge nuts and what they rest on is almost about 1 foot thick piece of most likely hardened steel.. that is whats needed to hold for the pressure and that says something about the fuckin insane pressures needed to create synthetic diamonds.

The whole concept of a diamond engagement ring didn't occur until an advertising campaign by DeBeers. Advertising has naturalized so much consumption in our world, it's quite sad.

Could they possibly produce diamond with non recyclable materials ? ,in this video they mentioned that synthetic diamond can be produced with any material

@Thinnestmeteor 10 лет назад

If it's based on carbon, because that's what diamonds are, carbon arranged in a special way.

@WaheedRahman1 10 лет назад

Thinnestmeteor carbon atoms packed very tightly together, creating a very strong bong with each other, diamond atoms repeat their pattern, is diamond a dense material ?

@pressplay1703 6 лет назад

If diamond is harder than steel, why in the other video did a guy smash a diamond to bits with a hammer? Steel would not smash to pieces if you hit it with a hammer

@LukeIversArch 6 лет назад

My guess would be because hard and brittle are two different material properties. Steel is ductile and more resilient to impact.

@Djentard 11 лет назад

Worthless = Not of practical use If you needed a knife to survive, would you rather have one with a steel blade or one made of pure gold?

@7moud10 11 лет назад

@gadgetwhore2 11 лет назад

Not the hardest anymore. wurtzite boron nitride has a similar structure to diamond, but is made up of different atoms and the mineral lonsdaleite are both harder than diamonds.

@Pelltta 8 месяцев назад

They still don’t know for sure... “Due to its rarity, we have never been able to conduct an actual examination of its hardness. It is formed during volcanic eruptions. New computer simulations show that despite forming a tetrahedral crystal structure rather than a face-centred cubic one, this material is 18% tougher than diamond.”

@qualifiedidiots2165 3 года назад

I have a potentially stupid question. If I compress a loaf of bread until it's the size of a golf ball, it'll still weigh the same. Why don't diamonds weigh the same as their non-compressed ingredients? A daft example probably with inaccurate measurements., if it takes 10k of coal to make one diamond for a wedding ring, why doesn't that ring still weigh 10k?
