Another way to make crystal cells more powerful.Use atmospheric pressure to squeeze them.Like this 55 gallon drum.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsoE4F2Pb20&feature=related  triffid




Maybe not the perfect way for us to squeeze them.But we could figure out something I'm sure?

Quarterman, Lioyd Albert[/size]
[/size](1918-1982) was an African American nuclear chemist. As a member of the Manhattan Project team during World War 11(1939-1945), he helped create the first atomic bomb.
Born in Philadelphia, Quarterman graduated from St. Augustine's College, North Carolina in 1943 and received an M.S. degree from Northwestern University in 1952. From 1943 to 1946, Quarterman worked in a laboratory hidden underneath an unused football field at the University of Chicago. Here, he and the rest of the Manhattan Project team worked with famed nuclear scientist Enrico Fermi to develop the world's first nuclear reactor. This project was closed in 1946, and the Chicago research team became Argonne National Laboratories. Quarterman stayed with Argonne for about 30 years. This brilliant scientist is also known for his research in inorganic chemistry, particularly in forming fluoride compounds using Zeon, argon, and krypton. To study the molecular makeup of various elements, Quarterman devised a "diamond window." This cell "window," made of tiny diamonds capable of resisting corrosion by even the most caustic matter, enabled scientists to study solutions of such difficult-to-handle substances as hydrogen fluoride under an electromagnetic microscope.[/size]

Quarterman beat corrosion.

"It was a very small window--one-eighth of an inch. The reason why they were one-eighth of an inch was because I couldn't get the money to buy bigger windows. These small diamonds cost one thousand dollars apiece and I needed two for a window." Diamonds were necessary because hydrogen fluoride was so corrosive it would eat up glass or any other known container material. Quarterman was able to study the X-ray, ultraviolet, and Raman spectra of a given compound by dissolving it in hydrogen fluoride, making a cell, and shining an electromagnetic beam through the solution to see the vibrations of the molecules. His first successful trial was run in 1967.




Diamonds are carbon.Just packed really tight into a crystal form.
