Generally speaking I would say that this isn't going to be a very effective way to generate electricity.
Any other ideas ?

Perpetual energy

There is no such thing. Plain and simple. You will make fools of yourselves if you try to present something like this at a science fair, sorry to say.

This may seem like an odd question, but do you come from Bangalore?

well you see we havn't got much time to think about new ideas as the submission date is the 1st of april.we are welcome to suggestions on the topic of project

Did you perhaps recently attend a physics show by, maybe, a wild-haired madman with crazy eyes that included bits of a supposed perpetual motion machine? He cleverly disguises that it is a perpetual machine contraption by calling it specifically non-perpetual. Seen this guy?

Well, if it is the 1st of April then a perpetual motion machine sounds perfect!

Note: if you go with a "perpetual motion machine" make sure you are using it to demonstrate why such a machine can never work.

You could build models of some of these: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/unwork.htm and explain why they don't work.

Hello there

i would really like to know if anyone has an idea about lab created diamond technology using high pressure high temperature (hpht) or chemical vapor deposition (cvd)

not in where to buy them but in creating them using the technology i mentioned above .

Assuming money issue is not an issue investment wise in buying equipments and all ......


Any ideas please mail me najinasro@hotmail.com

Which technology did you mention above? This is your first post in this thread. I have some direct experience of diamond anvil processing and may be able to help you, but I would need more information.

there is in diamond industry and i mean here gem quality diamonds , something called man made diamond or lab created diamond using two methods the HPHT and CVD technology . the compnies selling this item are asking crazy prices in other words almost same price as mined diamonds , so my question is how can i have the right means to prodce gem quality man made diamond .... any help would be great . najinasro@hotmail.com

i just googled ur field of work and it is not far from what i am talking about . please google apollo diamond company, genesis diamond , so u can have an idea on what i want and please i would be great if u can guide me threw . and if there is any serious matters if you want to get involved in this issue in preparing or anything concerns money please contact me on my e mail .

The crazy prices you refer to are not so crazy. The equipment is expensive, running into several million dollars for a unit. The set up, maintenance and operation require a high level of skill and experience. The throughput rate is small. I think your interest in gem quality puts this outside my area of involvement, but I'll take a look at the google recommendations, or if you wish to pm me with more details.

thanks for your reply first
what i think it is not about the prices of the machines it is the know how . like there is this new company it is called MIADONNA selling something called hybrid diamond , a new item better then a moissonite and less in quality of a man made or mined diamond . they are making this hybrid diamond out of a seed i guess, what i am saying in plain english i would go as far as it gets just to have the begininig of the thread in hand if i can not go up the ladder in one jump will start with the something like the hybrid thing and i go further .
thanks again
