Shocking Secrets of Our Technology: Discovering the Hidden Crystals in devices we use every day

Did you realize that all of our tech depends on crystals? Name any electronic tech you own - if you take away all the crystals in it, your device would be dead. In fact though few people know it, the harnessing of the power of crystals is what makes semi-conductors possible. There are a number of different crystals that are essential to our tech, but one stands out above all. This crystal powers almost all our transistors and IC chips. Few of you have ever seen one of these crystals. Want to take a look at the kind of crystal that makes our modern world possible? Silicon, more often called single-crystal silicon, is the base material for silicon-based discrete components and integrated circuits used in virtually all modern electronic equipment, as well as some types of solar cells. We make tens of thousands of tons of this stuff annually.

I've known about silicon for a while we have one of the manufacturing plants here in butte. But I just learned about the crystals here. Fantastic stuff Chris you always give me new subjects to further research during the week.

[@ChrisRalph]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK]

I ripped the TV from my wall , tore it apart , and could not find a Kunzite crystal anywhere. 😋 Now they wont warantee it ...ha ha Great Video Chris!

[@ChrisRalph]

The crystal in the thumbnail is a quartz crystal. It dont look like a quartz crystal does it? Its man made and if they had grown it long enough it would be the quartz crystal shape we are all familiar with - but they stopped part way through. And for sure there are quartz crystal bits in your TV. The crystal in the Lithium video is Kunzite (spodumene) - going to miss the big Tucson gem show this year but next year for sure.

Fascinating information Chris, thanks again.

[@ChrisRalph]

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll be talking about the industrial crystal manufacturing process in next week's video.

[@nancybenson1951]

Thank you! I never thought I could understand the technology. You made it interesting and easier to understand. 👍🏻

[@ChrisRalph]

Glad it was helpful!

Great info !!!!

Even C.B. radios used Crystal's back in the day. My momma had extra one put in her radio to tune in different channels.

[@ChrisRalph]

Very true. They still have crystals even today.

[@shanelocke237]

"ONYA CHRIS" another impressive upload.Actually I thought it was BRILLIANT

[@ChrisRalph]

Thanks much, Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Thank you for this fascinating episode🎉

Glad it was interesting for you.

Where is the nuclear waste device like a fire alarm? (Does anyone read fine print?)

[@ChrisRalph]

The polonium in the smoke sensor is the radioactive stuff.

[@Visualife]

Same thing with your website, you can easily make it better, almost for free, with Ai

[@ChrisRalph]

My son is already working on that project.

[@ginacabigquis2012]

It is a platinum

[@ginacabigquis2012]

I have here

[@ChrisRalph]

OK, congratulations.

[@tradermunky1998]

Perhaps the earth also runs on crystals... 👽

[@ChrisRalph]

perhaps.......

[@tmckmusic8584]

Absolutely

[@mikullmac]

I like how things like gold and gems are actually what makes something like the JWST even work. Not just pretty objects that held value when turned into jewelry. What a coincidence. Haha.

[@ChrisRalph]

Those crystals are everywhere in our technology.

[@mikullmac]

Yep. Even click lighters. Time to light up.

[@TIPPYtoeup]

Happy February Mr. Ralph. I’ve got one for ya: Imagine, looking at a mountain range but one catches your eye. Because the faces of the this particular mountain within the range is different. It takes on, very large crystalline shapes. Or sulfide shapes, etc. Large large triangles on triangles. You being a SME, what does that tell you? Thank you

[@ChrisRalph]

Because what you say is so very vague, it could be anything. It could be your projections like an ink blot test.

[@TIPPYtoeup]

@@ChrisRalph : But it’s not. What I’m saying is fact. It has giant after giant symmetrical faces. They image, triangular shapes. It’s probably a 2,500 bluff, tied in with many other bluffs. But that’s the only one like it. I imagine it doesn’t get a lot of notice being where it’s at. Still the same, it has very peculiar angles. So I thought you would have reasonable suggestions.

[@ChrisRalph]

I've not seen it, you and are giving me a really general description. I really have no idea.

[@fraa888grindr6]

Excellent presentation. Thanks!

Peso electric starters are cool too very interesting how striking a crystal can create high voltage

[@ChrisRalph]

Yes they are!

Interesting, even diamonds have a huge use in Industry, and not just for Tiffany :)

[@ChrisRalph]

Yep, very true.

[@mommyharris1111]

looking at this video convinces me that the world one time was a circuit and they were using massive crystals to provide free energy. The cities with the roads, arenas, etc were the etiching. thank you for explaining this.

[@ChrisRalph]

Interesting!

[@Visualife]

You can generate Ai images for your book and sell it as PDF, let me know if you need help with it, good luck, great job!

[@ChrisRalph]

I appreciate your offer but I am happy with what I am doing and I am having a good level of success.

We can use sound 70000 hertz to move magnetic anti graviti propulsion systems using scaler and photon technologies utilizing Crystal technology and thermal technologies including hydrogen technology

[@ChrisRalph]

but that requires the square root of negative 1.

That was interesting. I never even thought about them growing crystals. Now I must find a video on the process of growinf them is done. Just too add too my vast knowledge of things that really dont matter too me in my little world.

[@ChrisRalph]

My very next video, scheduled to drop next Saturday will be on the industrial processes they use to grow these crystals. - So you dont need to look far, just wait to next week!

The Tin oxide is a crystal?

[@ChrisRalph]

Yes.

We can use Crystals along with photon technology to run our spacecraft we can also use teroidal magnet vibrational sound frequencies technology

[@ChrisRalph]

You don't say.

[@ReasonableAssumption]

It all started with the lowly 555 timer :)

[@ChrisRalph]

For ICs, but for transistors it was the lowly point contact version of the transistor.
