    In this video I put a diamond in one of the most dangerous solutions called piranha solution. I show you how crazy this highly acidic/highly oxidizing liquid is. I put a sponge in it then I put in a hot dog. Then finally I test if the solution can actually dissolve a diamond!

    Great video as always 😊
    I would like to point something out:
    Diamonds are HARD and not TOUGH.
    The difference is:
    HARD is resilient to scratches
    TOUGH is resilient to breakage
    When you said you could easily break a diamond with a hammer, it's because diamonds are actually pretty brittle, this has nothing to do with hardness.
    Diamond can engrave and cut almost anything else, but lots of materials would smash diamonds on impact.

On the other hand H2O2 can be concentrated by mixing it with 95% sulfiric acid which you can make by distilling the car battery acid. The h2o2 you will use will be 30-35% food grade hydrogen peroxide. The way it concentrates is that sulfiric acid is extremely hygroscopic and absorbs the water from the mixture.

      Natural diamonds have formed under immense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, and later surfaced inside rocks and magma pushed to the surface by volcanic activity through billions of years. Artificially manufactured diamonds are made by humans in laboratories, which mimic these natural conditions (heat & pressure) which make carbon atoms crystallize to diamonds, but they are just as "real" as naturally occurring diamonds. Actually if you're real anal about it, you could say they are even more "real", because artifical diamonds contain no impurities unlike some natural diamonds do.
