Pressure is required to push all the carbon together and force out impurities. This method uses heat and assembles the diamond carbon atom by carbon atom so there theoretically wouldn't be impurities to press out. Open air like this you see on the spectrograph that the result had impurities but spiked where it needed to as well. This means everyone can grow low grade industrial diamonds for use in machine works and 3D printing though. Can't wait to try printing diamond dust into carbon fiber
Yes diamonds are expensive, but just because their shiny hard and take millions of years to form. Now if we're able to mass produce them they value with go down but we can use them for more important things instead of jewelry. Maybe something for vehicle or building. Who knows and I'm sure the value of other gems with grow so no worries.
Also I wager the materials and resources required to make diamonds outweighs their current worth. I suppose that could change in the future but if it was currently practical it would be more common place and we wouldn't be mining for them any longer.
im like how u see future ...im agree just imagine ur smarphone use amoled glass but what if future we had amoled diamond / other gems and now for chips / IC we use metal, carbon and gold ...... not impossible we use GEMS in future or this ?? how to break bottleneck tech . we cant use now or develope now cs Pricey
Industrial grade diamond is not that expensive actually! What made diamond so expensive is mostly marketing strategies only. And more specifically, De Beers should be blamed of.
You can change or create any element you want, it is the cost to do so that interferes with producing some items. Just think about it, some elements on the periodic table are man made only.
So we understand the physical implications of what it takes to create a diamond. I.E. Pressure, material, heat, etc. But what about TIME? Is TIME a material? Is TIME something that is a fundamental attribute that induces the crystal structure of a diamond? And if so, can TIME be manipulated through scientific means in order to "Speed Up" the process? Or is TIME a fundamental constant like the SPEED OF LIGHT in that it is fixed...
Essentially what's happening is the plate is being bombarded by billions of carbon atoms via the heat produced by the fire. Because of the constant, immense temperature, and carbon atoms not "strong" enough melt away instantly, leaving the more dense ones behind to collect under the flame. As these atoms collect and bond together under the focused heat, diamonds are formed. It's a very, veeeery slow process though, making a decent sized diamond can take a few days at the least.
I thought about this guy a few weeks ago : the producers of this show were incredibly out of touch : scientist have been perfecting the technique of growing diamonds in a lab for 50 years : when this video was made lab grown diamonds were debuting on the market : they are much easier to make than the process shown above and larger
@@sniperkiz123456 yeah, if you scroll down the comments a bit I have a rough summary. They've refined it considerably in the last decade but it's still pretty slow overall
***** FIRST OF ALL ITS FAKE DIAMONDS! IT NEEDS YEARS AND EXTREME HEAT TO FORM DIAMONDS. WHAT HE DID IS A REPLICATE DIAMOND. MEANING A CLONE NOT REAL OR ORIGINAL.
Since the show is titled "Bang Goes the Theory" it would be nice to have a smattering of theory. Why is this method any different from other methods of creating synthetic diamonds? Why is what you just showed us important like you claimed?
I don't actually believe this. I have studied the history and manufacture of synthetic gemstones including diamonds and my understanding is that diamonds can only be made under great pressure OR a strong vacuum. Read The New Alchemists by Robert Hazen or Gems Made By Man by Kurt Nassau.
the two methods to create gem-quality lab diamonds is high pressure high temperature (HPHT), and chemical vapor deposition. he did chemical vapor deposition. normally you do this as lowered pressure (not a vacuum!) and with a controlled atmosphere. so he only got tiny diamonds with a huge amount of impurities.
This method is Atmospheric Pressure CVD. It is a documented method. Most probably you have stumbled uppon the typical HPHT methods and CVD with Methane/H2 (and Argon) in 100mTorr pressures, but this technique is also around and you can find it in scientific papers if you search. One thing he is ignoring is that the supply of Oxygen should be marginally lower than what is used in the normal Acetylene/Oxygen setup. This way he could supress graphite and grow better quality diamond. You can actually achieve near gem-quality diamond with this setup (if you use less oxygen in the flame and put the substrate at the tip), but the cost is like ten times more than CVD diamond
Fact that they are very tiny, is that there isn't used any pressure - if you create very high pressure, all Carbon-Atoms are pressed 'into each other' while the grow process is produced in a heat hotter then 2700 degrees Celsius and forms one big industrial (synthetic) diamond. The process must then run for 4 whole days. This isn't really news. Me makes synthetic diamonds for over more then a decade now.... so, not really 'current news' BBC...!

chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/15541/turn-lead-into-gold-via-radioactive-decay happy new year, have some sorta alchemy, but real, and not worth doing.
So, the carbon source was from burning fuel? I thought that there had to be massive amounts of pressure also for diamonds to be produced? So, the point is that diamonds are created any time there is fire, just that it might not be enough to see? I am not sure what the point of the video is...but its pretty cool. I would like to make my own diamonds.
What he was doing is using the plasma in the flame to perform Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of carbon onto a seed crystal. If the seed crystal is diamond, you grow a diamond.

Anyone else notice the diamonds he made are different than the diamond they tested at the end.
Synthetic Diamonds are actually better in properties than natural ones and cheaper too.

This is a highlight reel. They want you to actually watch the show on your telly to get that answers.
Wonder if you could control the shape on the growing and one day have parts or items grown from a diamond
Maybe is you got some sort of mold made out something with and incredible melting point

You burn what at how many degrees to get diamonds?
Something with a high carbon content, like graphite. But graphite wont make pure diamond because of the metal impurities.

BLOODYRAINBOW - SFM SOURCE FILMAKER DUDE its a real diamond its just not as valuable.
The value of a diamond is by weight and cut, those could be just as valuable if he had left the heat on a little longer
Oliver Hill
lab diamonds are mega cheap. they arent as valuable because they arent natural
Great presentation! Thumbs up #1,150
Not at all informative.
In particular, what was the process?
CVD en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_vapor_deposition
the vapor process does not include a raw flame
Does diamond burn in 700 C and he is makeing diamond with 2400 C flame with no pressure. Makes sense :D
Have you any idea of the cost of running an oxy-acetylene torch for 8 hours? Then ending up with 1/1000th of the first diamond under the microscope..
That's most interesting

It isn't as simple as that you need a carbon containing gas to make them
methane?
It will cost you more to produce them than you will earn from the actual diamonds.

don't you also need pressure to form diamonds?

YourFavoriteFlamer Nightcore, I think you need both
What he was doing is using the plasma in the flame to perform Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of carbon onto a seed crystal. If the seed crystal is diamond, you grow a diamond.
He made a seed. Anyhoo you need heat and pressure. A mold doesn't hurt either.
yea can you send me some of that? how about 1000 grams of it
That would maybe take a week to a month. And it would just about pay for how much oxy acetylene he used.
LOL I think you should save up to pay for your emergency room bill if you got her that.

maybe you could use a strong magnetic field to force the diamond atoms together? 🤔

or if DeBeers released their hoard to the markets... Diamonds are not money.
might as well be, essentially its worth as much as the people are willing to trust in it and work for it...
