5614 Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 yeah, the link to that was heating the diamond, you could nuke a diamond to melt it, although hitting it with a hammer sounds a better idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostrunner Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 as a side note to what 5614 was saying when lightning hits sand it turns it into glass so you get cool traces and wildlooking glass sculptures. They are called Fulgurites and is where the silicon is super heated to 2950oF and forms glassy SiO2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
