Can you really make fake diamonds in a microwave?

Answer 1

No. In order to be able to manufacture a diamond you need to raise the temperature to 1,500C and you need to apply a pressure of 58,000 atmospheres: this requires much larger and more complicated equipment than a microwave

Answer 2

If by fake you mean made out of something completely unlike real diamonds, like plastic, it may be possible. However, if you mean artificial diamonds made from real carbon and everything, then no. A microwave is nowhere near hot enough, and you can't apply enough pressure in there either. Tons of heat and pressure are required to make a diamond. That is why they form way underground.

Answer 3

No. A microwave cannot create diamonds. You need very high pressure equipment or high temperature special equipment to transform carbon graphite into crystalline nature of a diamond. It cannot be done at home using a cooking microwave. It might make you a burrito, but not a diamond.

Answer 4

identity relatively have a simulated diamond. it is chemically a diamond at a million/10th of the cost. it is created from carbon in a lab. basically a professional can tell the adaptation. while a CZ is nade from zirconium. At a million/10th the cost i can get a bigger stone and use the mark downs on a nicer wedding ceremony or something i for my area desire. A organic diamond is a extensive waste of funds, contributes to lost limbs and lives in Africa and is not the investment prople think of it is. for my area i like DiamonArt from JC Penny.

Answer 5

Synthetic diamonds cannot be made in a microwave.

Answer 6

Think a common one would require some modification

Answer 7

No, not anymore than a woman would wear a ring made from a hot pocket snack.

Answer 8

yes, and you can also make fake water in your toaster
