Can you Turn Coal/Carbon in to Diamonds with a Hydraulic Press?

When the hydraulic press trend came on to the scene, it was the hot topic of discussion but as the videos slow to a taper as it looks like The Press Channel hasn’t been making as many videos but they still continue to draw out attention as out came another video that had us watching with undivided attention as the strength of the press would go up against a theory that didn’t really seem like it was going to be able to work as the operator wanted to crush coal into diamonds. We were skeptical but had to check it out to see what would happen for ourselves.

Even if the coal doesn’t become diamonds, we’re left to wonder exactly what will become of it as the press is applied to the stack and a couple of different attempts with different approaches are taken to do everything that they can to turn this coal into something worth more! Who wouldn’t want to have a machine in their back yard pumping out diamonds left and right? Most certainly sounds like a promising concept to us! Just imagine the possibilities if you had the shot to crank out your very own diamonds on your own time!

Ride along with this experimentation down the video below that takes these objects to the next level, attempting to put all kinds of pressure on them to see if they will shatter to bits or if they’ll compress to become something even better. Before you check out the video for yourself, be sure to tell us what your prediction is on how this one is going to turn out. Do you think that anything like a diamond will come out on the other end? If not, what do you think the result is going to be after all is said and done?
