I'll address this in next week's vlog too, but creating diamonds from the common pencil has the same problem as creating diamonds from coal -- impurity. I mentioned pencils as an example of where to find graphite (which is pure carbon, an allotrope), but taking normal pencil rods wouldn't help the synthetic diamond creation process. For that, pure graphite is used. Thanks for watching! -- KH

Wait, in the clip you showed Superman used his strength and body heat. So how hot is Superman? Does he have a normal human body temperature or can change his own body temperature because he can survive the heat of the sun. Sure he can finely use his heat vision along with his strength but without it would seem more impressive.

Kyle said it was Superman's heat vision, but even if that wasn't the case the pressure itself can generate heat. Perhaps not to 1k Celsius but a lot

Graphite is possibly formed from the metamorphism of Coal (inernite, type 4 petroleum products). Thus if superman was able to take a whole lot of coal and was able to create metamorphic conditions to turn into graphite then it could be turned diamond. what this does is add an extra step to his process but it does allow for him to turn coal into diamond. -From your friendly geologist

I have a rebuttal based on the definition of a diamond. While Superman couldn’t make bulk synthetic diamond from coal he could easily make Nanodiamonds. Nanodiamonds can be described as sub micrometre diamonds as it is pure(apart from occasional nitrogen vacancies) and retains the diamond cubic crystal structure. So if Superman used anthracite coal and using only his heat vision with the coal in ethanol at standard temperature and pressure, he could ablate the coal and create Nanodiamonds. This is one among several methods of creating Nanodiamonds from coal. While it’s not as macho as squeezing coal, imagining Superman in a lab coat using his heat vision on a flask is much cooler to me.

It's a minor thing for a show like this, but many of my organic chemistry students over the years made similar mistakes because they forgot to account for all of the electrons in the carbon atom. Since many people watch this show for its educational value, I think that it's important for me to chime in on this in the spirit of encouraging people to think more critically about seemingly minor details.

Since coal still contains Carbon what would it take for superman to refine it to the level it would need to make a reasonably sized diamond? From my (admittedly limited) research coal is on average between 60% and 80% carbon, and 1 carat 200mg. Assuming the percentages of carbon were based on mass, we can conclude that we would need around 250 to 333.333.... mg of coal to make 1 carat of diamond. If super man wants to go big or go home he could gather 776.6875 to 1035.58333... grams of coal to make one of the largest diamonds. This is all of course assuming super man could refine the coal and use just the carbon from it, but I mean he has pretty much every other power so why not?
@VictoryNibbles 6 жыл бұрын
The problem is that he'd have to go through all the complex chemical processes to render all that carbon down from the coal. As it is, the coal in way too impure (as Kyle stated) a source of carbon to get diamonds. Basically, it would be like trying to get pure ice cubes by freezing diarrhea.

So would Superman actually need to use his heat vision to apply the heat to all that graphite... or would him “rubbing his hands together” while crushing the graphite within such a small space generate the heat without any other source? Obviously he’d also incinerate any nearby flammable stuff... or people but he’s Superman I’m sure we’d give him a pass for that

Magun BFP that description makes me think of Superman intently staring into his fist full of graphite and repeatedly crushing it akin to an old timey villain rubbing his hands back and forth forming a plan...
@magunbfp9030 6 жыл бұрын
I’m remembering back to high school physics so take it with a grain of salt... but applying pressure exerts energy which has to go somewhere, potentially as sound but usually heat... but if you’re applying all that force into such a small area how hot would it get? Who’s to say that Superman might not be the Boy Scout he claims to be... “I just wanted to help the guy out... I didn’t know, with all my advanced Kryptonian knowledge, that everything would explode in fire” perhaps he is an old timey villain...

I thought this as well. Even without rubbing his hands together, the heat created from the pressure required to rearrange the carbon into diamond would probably be enough. There's another problem with the heat vision though. As far as I know superman can't selectively heat material on the other side of material. What I mean is, he can't heat the carbon without eye-lazering through his hand first. And if he left a hole to beam his heat vision through, surely the high pressure would squeeze the graphite out.

Question: Is it true that _detonation nanodiamonds_ are formed in nuclear weapons' _strike-zones_ with abundance of coal? Considering Hiroshima was mostly woodland , is there a chance for any nanodiamonds to be found there? Btw HPHT (high-pressure-high-temperature) method is used since 1964 to create artificial diamonds from Graphite rods at 130k atm and 1705 Celsius, where they use impurities like Boron and Nitrogen to get Blue or Yellow gems that look similar to the famous _Hope_ diamond, so -minisicule- impurities aren't always bad~!

Rebmiami Minecraft but it is. He couldn't ask Reese for help if he doesn't exist in his universe. Now, I believe that there's a Molecule Man equivalent in DC, so he does have options. I mean, he could also hit up a State Alchemist and have them transmutate whatever was required. But then when apply context that's also impossible because there are no State Alchemists in the DC universe.

kourtney scruggs Technically, according to DC comics canon, the Marvel universe does exist, as did the crossover. That is DC canon, so Molecule Man technically exists to Superman. Although, said crossover did not happen in Marvel canon, so DC universe does not exist to Marvel, which means Superman does not exist to Molecule Man. All in all, it's a really weird situation. While it's not quite the same universe, it is, in a way, the same multiverse, which Supes should have little trouble crossing with someone like the Spectre.

There's also the problem with him using heat vision while crushing the graphite. He'd have to encapsulate the material with his hands to crush it properly, but since he's basically completely covering it his heat vision wouldn't be able to heat through his hands to superheat the matter. Considering all the trouble associated with gathering enough graphite (or whatever) and then converting it to make a diamond, Supes would be better off taking a quick jaunt over to Uranus or Neptune or one of the other "nearby" planets that have diamond rain and just chill there for a second.

I guess it will depend a lot on the distance you're trying to freeze them at. The temperature of whatever you're spraying will be increased slightly by the air for more time depending on how far away they are. Making it take longer to freeze someone further away. Also bear in mind that the minimum temperature anything can reach is about -273.15'C (iirc) absolute zero, so freezing somebody solid will take longer than it does in the movies no matter what.

First consider a feather it is so light it falls slowly because air resists the motion down. So what your asking is if a person became so light much much lighter then a feather but was still the same size body. Almost like a human balloon. Well a person would do almost exactly what a balloon does but as long as they don't pop as they get higher they would float up and out of the atmosphere. Now if you think of it as magic where they retain the mass of a person and are just no longer pulled along by the mass of the earth then they might be affected by wind and air as they are just left behind while the earth circles around the sun.

Hey kyle, In the film the dark knight, They tell us that batmans wings are a sort of textile that gained rigidity when applying electric current. Is there a current textile or textile like compound that acts in this way? If not what would be a good substitute that sticks as close to this description as possible, and is there a way to make his cape/wings work but be bullet proff as seen in a few batman cartoons (blocking himself from bullets with his cape)?
