ABSTRACT:
Human-made diamond, as well as naturally found diamond, is a transparent, superhard, crystalline, and electrically nonconductive form of carbon. In this invention, an electrical current of supercritical density alone produces the transformation of graphite to diamond. The entire graphite-to-diamond transformation requires only a few millionths of a second. Using the principles of the invention, diamond can be produced in a variety of shapes, such as loose debris, rods, fibers, bars, dust, etc. In addition to diamond, Buckminster Fuller Balls, known also as C-60 carbon fullerines, are produced using the process and apparatus of the invention.
