Very nice video !!!

I'm wondering if one uses a 1250 watt microwave, combined with a super insulated microwave kiln, if you can get a similar effect--though it would take longer? Basically the trick here seems to be heating to a very high temp with a no or super low oxygen atmosphere (i.e. "inert"). The great thing about microwaves is that if you already have a carbon, the carbon itself directly heats up being a microwave susceptor. To get it very, very hot, you just need the most powerful microwave you can get, along with a very insulated microwave kiln. To create an inert atmosphere is pretty easy. You just put layers of paper (I also use at least one parchment paper layer), then covered with something like baking soda or some sacrificial carbon. The kiln itself will already be somewhat protected by outside, fresh air by being covered and the heating process expanding the air out.

Q1. Graphene particles are extremely tough. As a surface coating, they can be used to kill bacteria and disrupt viruses. Are they then a bio-hazard, like asbestos particles? Q2. Can you recycle a product containing graphene (which may make it extremely tough, almost indestructible), without massive use of energy? Q3. What do we do if air, water, and soil, are strewn with trillions of graphene particles that can damage living cells? What if they get into the food chain? What biological processes IF ANY within a living creature would be able to capture and render harmless the near-indestructible graphene particles?

@xXtHeUnDeAd1Xx

3 жыл бұрын

For Q1 since this is the element Carbon we're talking about, even if graphene gives off airborne dust, the element is much heavier than asbestos thus can't travel as far and fall to the ground much faster. I believe it's not a cause for concern unless you're breathing in large amounts of whatever breaks off. Let's say worst case scenario you would get lung disease but that's from carbon black, which graphene has a different structure to so would potentially be much less harmful overall IMO.

Graphene is biologically active. It can be toxic, but it isn't non-biodegradable, and the amounts being discussed in the article this is referencing are well below dangerous levels.

@dekutree64

1. What makes asbestos so nasty is that it fractures into thinner and thinner shards, which also means more numerous shards. Graphene on the other hand is super tough, so it won't fracture. But it may still function as a single atom thick blade, slicing up your DNA the same way asbestos does. So the danger probably depends on whether graphene flakes can be contained in nodules (like silica dust, leading to silicosis if you breathe enough of it, but not cancer), or if they slice their way back out and continue damaging other cells. 2. I'm curious about this as well. My guess is no. 3. Yep, that would be a disaster. Definitely need some animal testing to assess the danger.

@dakrontu Graphene is made of carbon atoms, we are made of a specific percent of carbon, and we eat the carbon in our food. A lot of food is usually thrown away every day by families, such as dinners, which has a lot of carbon in it. Carbon becomes Graphite, and Graphite (also in our Graphite pencils) becomes Graphene. If you google search, trying to eat too much Graphite would just make you maybe throw it back up. If you eat lead, it's poison, so there is a big difference. And the worst Graphite would do, which was also given in an example, would be if you were to put a pencil down your throat, you would choke, that's the worst situation, because it's basically pointing out that carbon is safe, because it's in all living things (that we know so far and on the Earth). If someone asks if Graphene is safe, point to your window "required that nothing is in the way", and point to the grass and trees outside, which have carbon atoms in them, because supposed all living things on (Earth) that we know so far, is all made of carbon, or rather.. "all organic life" on Earth. Also to point out, other planets have carbon on them. Could other life on other planets be made of something else? Possibly, we don't know. After all, the universe is strange, things run backwards, even clouds on other planets, there are pink and cotton candy planets, and so much more. Also Quantum Physics where Black Holes brake down the reality we know, into possibly other dimensions. Because as Physics is updated and going into Quantum Physics, so too does our reality change with it "given the level of advance that we go through around us", otherwise the reality we understand is only seen different by what we know, once it advances then it changes all around us and clearly with what you see. Though our Universe with Quantum Physics, is far different than the reality we know (so far).. on Earth, which too is updated and going into Quantum Physics, Graphene and Quantum Technologies. Our body also has energy much like the flow on Graphene, stop and think about that with Protons, Electrons and so on. Once you start to understand that, you will start to think about Photons (light) particles such as the rays of light coming through the window or other forms of it that are safer, which is where Photonics will replace electronics = electricity = Electrons. Now imagine Fusion Energy converted to the grid being Photonics instead of Electrons. Also to point out, if we do create our own Photons with Ion - Trapped Quantum Computers, is it possible they don't have an electric charge? If so, imagine Photonics running through your homes without being shocked or chance of the house burning down. Spintronics with Graphene and Photonics would be amazing. And Spintronics with Graphene is already a thing. Also I wanted to point out that at the melting point for Graphene, it doesn't melt into a liquid, it goes through a process called sublimation, where it turns into a gas state. And so it can form back into Graphene with specific methods that we use for taking the carbon pollution out of the air now and convert it into Graphene, some companies are doing this, I don't remember where which companies. This means that if we had a space ship that ever started to melt into a gas "if it ever was to get to that temperature, which would not happen when entering the atmosphere of the Earth using a Graphene space ship", by the time it melts into a gas, our emerging technology would be mature enough to instantly transform it back into Graphene, but that's a ways off. Again you would have to actually melt Graphene to get to that situation, and so if Graphene ever flakes, at some point.. we will have the technology to shape it again, I don't expect that kind of technology to instantly reshape it any time soon. If you are interested in learning about Graphene turning into a gas at extreme temperatures which could replace SpaceX's rockets / Starships heat shields with Graphene as space ships, check out my other channel's playlist called "Graphene with starships". Go to my channel, find Technology Research and go there, check for the playlist "Graphene with starships".

@michaelleue7594

The idea is that at 2000 degrees all the bonds in the original material are broken. So there should be no plastic contaminant by the end of the process. They basically achieve that temperature by electrocuting small quantities at a time; the thing that's exciting is that it's fast and doesn't require chemical preparation, and the carbon in the material forms up naturally into small flakes of graphene. The company that holds the patent is selling the flakes suspended in bottles of water, I think.

So, let me get this straight - we're having plastic waste problem because we make a lot of it, most of it decomposes very slowly, and most of it is uneconomical to recycle. And there's a chance we'll be able to turn it into graphene. Which might eventually replace some/most plastic. So, thinking a little ahead, if it becomes true at some point ... won't we have the same problem with graphene waste? How long does it decompose / how easy (cheap) is it to recycle...?

Time to mass produce graphene superconductors

Dealing with dry materials can be a pain in the U know what dust can quickly clog up even the best designed machines even under high pressure, it would be much more practical to use low pressure or in a liquid state for the conversion. No liquid I know of can flash at 3000K, diesel comes no where near it. Either way I'm thinking distilled water to flush out conversion chamber. What chemicals produce high heat under intense pressure? Call it a combustion graphene engine. Done how hard is it at the same time U can produce electricity bringing costs down even more.

What is the material of the electrode though, we still need to resist temperature, can we replace the quartz by something else?
