  • Terrestrial lightning-powered magnetic organized single crystal diamond blocks: The forces of nature to form the beautiful gem
    Publication number: 20090016950
    Abstract: The new century thrives for the synthesis of larger single crystal diamond blocks for various engineering applications and esthetic marvel. This invention makes use of triggered lightning bolts for instantaneously driving large cross-sections of high electric current density through compresses heated carbonaceous precursor (possibly seeded seed diamond and/or group VIII transition metal catalysts). The said conditions provide huge spin polarized electron motion over large volume for organized magnetization and spin interactions of the lightning bolt with many carbon atoms for the spin induced orbital rehybridization of sp and sp2 carbon to sp3 carbon and the voluminous condensation of single diamond crystals.
