Now I am going to tell you more about how to make diamond in a second.

[@sirmatei3134]

we need your real voice buddy

[@mastathrash5609]

Agreed, The dudes house burnt down recently if I recall so I say cut him some slack, sometimes you just don't have time to do a voiceover. I definitely prefer his voice over a voiceover though

[@michaelmyrick6973]

agreed i prefer the broken English. sounds cheap now. ill bet he has no control over this issue 🫡💯🇺🇸

[@michaelmyrick6973]

​@@mastathrash5609paying for someone to read your stuff for you. cost more than doing it your self.

[@Protocol-X]

I agree, I am not a fan of this new voiceover. It's very monotone and makes the videos less appealing.

[@CH11LER.]

I was just about to leave a comment asking him to upload the video without the voice-over. You speak perfectly good English, you don't need a voice-over. It actually negatively impacts your videos

[@Bolbino]

I really wish you would listen to everyone and do the voiceover yourself again. Your voice is so unique and charming, and was one of the main reasons I loved your videos. They just aren't the same without it :/

[@rzmonk76]

Same, he may have lost some of his equipment in the fire.

[@travisleith1146]

yes, please bring back the original voice!

[@sohosohigh]

So true, cant even be bothered to watch it anymore. There are plenty of this type of vid´s out there with a generic english voice, this channels edge for sure was the halfbroken english, so funny and very charming.

[@greatnate29]

I believe he said in a post that he got someone to do the voiceover was because of burnout. Like actually doing the voiceovers adds extra time and effort in each video.

[@miked5444]

That plus the use fahrenheit for science videos makes me sad.

[@spicymemeboi2646]

I know we all want his voice back but our boy could really use our help right now

[@soundspark]

Cubic boron nitride isn't just tougher than diamond, but it is used to cut and grind steel because it doesn't get dissolved by the metal.

[@Metal_Master_YT]

yeah, actually that is the primary reason why its used to cut ferrous metals, simply to avoid the carbon absorption.

[@ramonjuan9282]

Good to see you streaming again hopefully the lab will be together in the future for more fun . And like everyone bring back the true voice 👍🏾🌵😎

[@RobertWilliams-mk8pl]

I repaired a machine for a company near Piscataway, NJ about 24 years ago that made artificial diamonds. I was told that the next day a Russian dignitary second to Boris Yeltsin was coming to the company. I was being given the 50cent tour until I started asking very specific questions. They had several presses about ~1 meter square when closed, that resembled artichokes.

[@shadowmihaiu]

Nice as usual. I still prefer your voice over this. Two notes: 1. De Beers was never an American company. Itvwas founded by South African & British owners. 2. Moissanite is NOT sold as "fake" diamond, but as it's own thing, moissanite, like any other gemstone. Although like cubic zirconia, it used to be used as a diamond substitute, it has become in demand and desireable in itself. Moissanite has a higher refractive index, and much more visible "fire" than a diamond, making it even more beautiful, in the opinion of many.

[@donaldhoot7741]

It ain't you no more without your voice! Please return!

[@rob379lqz]

I made gold from lead. Chewed fishing weights and swallowed. Out came gold. Only problem is I can’t do maths any more…

[@rursus8354]

Same for me, almost. I use to chew charcoal in the hope that it produces diamonds.

[@_Solaris]

Different, but related, I regularly chew tinfoil to focus & take my mind off things. ...it works remarkably well.

[@Metal_Master_YT]

@@_Solaris ever tried indium? its quite an interesting experience, since its as soft as lead except its nontoxic.

[@_Solaris]

@@Metal_Master_YT cool! Will it give me the same brain-screaming electrical soul-shock I get from tinfoil? 😃

[@Metal_Master_YT]

@@_Solaris It depends, what's the electrode potential of the reference metal currently in your mouth? actually, just tell me what metal you have in your mouth already, and I can grab the values myself. I can also estimate the voltage produced. also, try biting a strip of magnesium ribbon, or any other piece of magnesium metal, and you will get a shock something like 3 times that of aluminum. I tried it and it feels like a battery put in your mouth, which is basically what it is.

[@matts2581]

Right - new narrator does his work perfectly. But the show is not quite the same without you doing the narration. Nice shirt by the way. 😉

[@Waltitude]

Anyone who is wondering...he has a VO guy because he hasn't had the extra time necessary to do it himself. In time maybe he'll be up to the extra workload again, but stop giving him a hard time demanding your personal preference. He certainly works hard to provide high quality content with no fee required; so enjoy it, and encourage him instead!

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Agreed. The footage of the burnt down lab broke my heart.

[@Metal_Master_YT]

fund him too, his lab burned down!

[@roncoleman7504]

Are you back? 😃💜 Happy to see you're still uploading videos! I hope you can get your lab back 🥺

[@angeredshadow]

Hi everyone in the comments. Yes, we love his natural accent. But he has mentioned in the past that it takes a lot of time for him to do the translations and voiceover. Also, his lab burned down recently and he probably couldn't have done the voiceover this time.

[@2.7petabytes]

I really like your narration. I’m not sure if you’re planning on continuing with the overdubbing but I would be sad if you did. Your videos as they usually are , are so excellent! I would be happy to have them in your native language with subtitles, even

[@kevinbissinger]

Pretty sure they're all originally uploaded to the russian channel already and google should be able to autotranslate

[@Metal_Master_YT]

he needs help, funding specifically. recently he uploaded a video revealing how his lab was destroyed in a fire.

[@crisconclin7533]

Good to see u back at it! Happy holidays brother!

[@Sniperboy5551]

I won’t watch this channel again until he brings back his old voice

[@thomasvanwyk]

De Beers is a part south Africa commpeny and has a lot of mines if africa and the start in Africa

[@BobWidlefish]

Not really, those regional companies are just shells for the corporate monopoly. They have shell businesses in every country they operate. They operate a lot in Africa because they have historically exploited the locals….

[@ArashiinStormdragon]

I miss your original voice! The new voice guy sounds good, but there is a nostalgia I feel when listening to your real voice.

[@Embassy_of_Jupiter]

imagine failing at making ice so you make diamonds instead because it's easier 😂

[@SharnLugonn]

Please use celsius for temperature or if you have to include fahrenheit, use both. Thank you.

[@filonin2]

Real science uses Kelvin.

[@galadriel4101]

I saw the reason you can't use your voice in the commuinty tab so take care. The voice over isn't bad. This was interesting. If you could lab created sapphire and emerald. Merry Christmas.

[@dennisk5818]

Good to see your productions again. This was absolutely fascinating. You produce a good program.

[@KyleYounge]

De Beers is a South African company. Well was.

[@abhinilbose24]

Your own voice was the identity of this channel.

[@Erasmuspipebagger1]

I love this channel, but don't like the post production voice. Without your organic voice track, which I, and I'm sure many others love to listen to, I almost can't hear what's actually in the video! Keep up the great content, but please do the voice track yourself. Also, sorry you lost your workshop, I did donate, as I'm sure many others have.

[@albertmagician8613]

I was told that the artificial diamond industry was forced by Beers to add nitrogen such that these diamonds are yellow. They are scared that artificial diamonds are perfect like silicon wafers, no inclusions, no defects.

[@zg2964]

i think they just basically use methane and microwaves to make plasma and have a coil with a grounded target plate at lower pressure but not full vacuum with "seed diamonds" on the target plate. I watched a video on it years ago, maybe you can find it on youtube still.

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

That was a fascinating insight. Those giant presses really do look impressive. Cheers.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

I *hate* waiting 1000's of years for my diamonds.

[@bcraiders11]

Your the man. Here to say i miss your voiceover and i feel like I'm watching another channel. Hope things are good.

[@thomasvanwyk]

Hi friend amazing video love your work good to see you again

[@squigglez-official]

Water -doesn’t- shouldn’t freeze under pressure. Due to the atomic properties of the solidification process of water, the ice would expand to create _more_ pressure. Instead, the water would be forced closer to it’s maximum density or compressibility (liquid) before becoming solid as Ice 7, a cubic crystalline structure of water. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that under standard pressurization circumstances water should not freeze.

[@zibberebbiz]

it's wild how the algorithm buried this channel and made me have to actively look for new Thoisoi videos, while that NileRed purple gold video is being promoted to all heck

[@uncleal]

Under dry hydrogen, progressively dissolve powdered aluminum carbide in molten lithium hydride while electrolyzing (re alumina to aluminum beneficiation in cryolite). Diamond forms from the hydrogen plasma in the electrical double layer at the anode, and rapidly grows. Graphite, glassy carbon, other carbon lattices etch. Thermodynamics proposes, kinetics disposes. Diamond anvil press "iron foil" gasket? Try iridium.

[@Kargoneth]

Thank you, Thoisoi2, for the video. Thank you, Kamil, for the diamond anvil gasket.

[@Pleplerhep]

Just so you know Your voice was what made your channel special.

[@technodaz]

I'm not saying these came from DeBeer's group or how I got them but , but I have jar of titanium coated diamonds(200g+). Can't remember what they are used on but they look beautiful under a scope.

DeBeers is all but American. Speaking from South Africa, where they have been mining for ages and established. I myself work for Anglo American in the Iron Ore industry, previously from Platinum.

[@sirpleasee3472]

I hope the lab situation got handled.. Although the voiceover might help us out with understanding, YOUR voice is what makes the channel unique and you should keep it that way. Plus, you save money since you don't have to pay anyone or AI to do a voiceover. Authentic overrules a Saturated Voice

[@devinledesma5005]

I love the design of the new accent, very human

[@JaredBrewerAerospace]

@10:18 OH! I thought we were looking through one of the diamond anvils during the preparation steps. These arrows would have been better served if they came earlier in the video.

I just saw the video about your lab burning. Sorry to hear about that, and I hope you recover fully from the loss. Please do bring your own voice back to the channel as soon as you can though. As the comments show, most people don't like the voiceover. We want to hear YOU, not somebody reading a script, with no knowledge of the subject being discussed.

[@andrewjhollins]

I doubt I'm the first person to point this out, but De Beers is not, nor has it ever been, an American company. It was founded by a Dutch-South African with financing from South African and British financiers.

[@Protocol-X]

I won't share a link to another channel, but there is a video on KZbin of someone making real diamonds in a home lab. I think it would be interesting to see if you could reproduce it. Oddly, they appear to do it somehow without pressure. The video is produced by a legitimate broadcasting company, so I do not feel it is fake.

[@greeneaglz2573]

Out of interest, can you test various diamonds for the content of carbon 14? I have been told all diamonds have it even though with old age theories of the age of rocks all carbon 14 should be gone. Was wondering what results you would get.

[@ChristianKurzke]

Bring back the original voice! You are awesomeness!

[@saraheart2604]

Where is Scratch on the periodic table? I want to try making diamonds from it too.

[@zlm001]

Not that it matters much, but I didn't think De Beers was ever an American or USA company. I'm not sure why Anglo American chose that name, but at least online it shows them as being head quartered somewhere in Africa and then later London.

[@takingbacktheplanet]

and it's not a complain about the new voice - he does a great job i think personally, encapsulates well the vibe of the channel and of the science being done. 😼but (been following for years!) i do miss the "new and interestinks" :D
