I'm going to...
 

Go to the store and buy some peanut butter and charcoal. Can anyone here tell me what I'm attempting to do with out checking the internet? :D

It's not going to work

The peanut butter you are buying because due to the drought reports are that it is going to go up 40 percent in price soon...or may already have in some places...
Charcoal.... cooking Turkey ?

No Sir, guess again. I'm trying to make a Christmas gift for the wife. :D

That remains to be seen my young friend. :D remember guys, no searching the internet for the answer. :D

I know it's not going to work because science says so!

When did you talk to science? :confused::D

Make me a diamond ring too. Getting close to the 25th year anniversy.

What ever are you talking about??? :rolleyes::D between you and me and the wall, did you search the internet for the answer? :D

When you use them are they touching each other ?
When you use them are you and your wife touching each other?

Yes and Yes. :D

Charcoal + Peanut Butter + Microwave = Diamonds?

Great teeming masses,

I recently watched a (viral?) video at the URL:
http://revvergoodies.blogspot.com/20...-diamonds.html

It is a promotion for a book entitled "Bling" about the history of hip-hop jewelery. In it, the two authors make diamond-like stones by microwaving peanut-buttered charcoal and then burning off the soot with lighter fluid.

Anyway, I was fascinated by the entire process, and I was told someone here might be able to explain it from a scientific standpoint. What is actually happening here? I know diamonds are formed from coal of course, and that artificial diamonds can be produced from ash/coal in lab settings...but what is actually being formed here? Also, what's with the peanut butter?

Thanks in advance,
Aleatoric

Correct. :D

last week over coffee:D

Did science pay it's own tab? you know how cheap science is. :D:rolleyes:
