How Much Compressive Stress Is There At 1 1/2 Mile's Depth Through Solid Granite

03/31/2012 5:19 PM

Yes, I was wondering, if you bored a tunnel through solid granite to 1 1/2 mile's depth if you heated graphite to 1500 degrees celsius in a heating coil and transported it to that depth slid it into a mold cut in the granite, if the natural compressive stress would compress the graphite making it harder, thank's.

We've already played this game.

What's new about this question?

Yeh, lyn, last time you answered my question saying there is miniscule compressive stress that has interstitial effect's, and you mentioned if the material was a pure carbonate, which graphite is, that there would be interstitial effect's, I was wondering if graphite would be effected by the natural compressive stress.

There's no pressure inside a tunnel, other than the pressure of the air above.

You'd have to pile all the debris back into the hole to get some pressure.

No, No, No, matter what you are trying to do.

Just figure how much pressure it takes to make a diamond and extrapolate.

The surrounding rock in the granite mold at the bottom of the tunnel has surface pressure created by the surrounding rock, the graphite when heated combined with the natural compressive stress should make the graphite harder, I don't think it has anything to do with the air pressure, it more involve's the compressive stress in the surrounding granite that would create interstitial effect's.

Tim,

You just don't get it.

Good bye.

lyn, you clearly said there would be miniscule amount's of interstitial effect's. Why are you saying something different now.

Approx. 9250 psi.

However, the exercise is ridiculously pointless.

Hey, thank's, may you can answer my question tornado, lyn indicated that there would be interstitial effect's from compressive stress at that depth on a pure carbonate such as graphite, do you think if a person heated the graphite to a temperature of 1500 degrees celsius and transported it to that depth down a tunnel bored through the granite that the natural compressive stress at that depth if you slid the hot graphite block into a granite mold it would make the hot graphite harder, lyn don't want to participate. Thank's.

Kris and Tornado, lyn, doesn't want to confirm what he told me month's ago, that at that depth there is some miniscule interstitial effect's from the surrounding granite, his comment is still on CR4, what do you make of his attitude, he really gave me a drubing and I want to resolve this, he should at least verify for me what he said month's ago don't you think, some people cannot be relied upon, if he verifiy's that for me it would be different.

Yes he does Usb, if he work's for a competitor of our's he could be in serious trouble he should be ehtical and he's dragging you into his lack of ethic's, your business reputation is on the line I am very influetial businessman, trying to conduct honest business don't let him ruin you too Usb.

I'll repeat what I said to you, then kindly do not ever threaten me, ever again.

Only a complete retard could have taken this statement seriously.

Here it is, Timmy now please go away, far far away.

"I would say that in solid granite the turbulence would be strictly on the magnecular structure of the grain boundaries and would likely not be on the kolmogorov scale, but rather a smaller amount of turbulocity, more on the macular flux level.

The effect this would have on the grain structure of the metal in question, unless the metal is pure Cargonite, would be minuscule and not magnescule as one might expect.

Once the metal has begun to solidify and the grain structure becomes more or less morphologically entwined within its own boundary layers, the pressure exerted on it by the overlying structure will become negated by the interstitial space between each magnecule, thus leaving one with a metallic chunk of crap.

I hope this helps. If not, call me at BR-549, and we can discuss in excruciating detail."

One last thing. If you ever have any hope of being taken seriously, by anyone but your mother, you should really work on your spelling, grammar and punctuation.

I'll look for you in the funny papers.

Make sure you heed the advice of lyn. You can't use carbonate, it will only work with cargonite.

I am sure you will have impressive results.

Best keep mum about the details or a competitor may steal your trade secrets.

That is some of the most offensively idiotic (and illiterate) nonsense I have ever heard.

Twaddle. You sound like a little boy pretending to be big and tough.

If you try to build a business around your "idea", you will go bankrupt. Think of the deep coal mines and the operations that go on down there.

It seems to me rather out of character for a truly influential businessman to have any need to tell others he is 'very influential'.

I also would expect an influential businessman to be in the habit of being more thoughtful and purposeful about what and how they communicate; especially that which is committed to writing. The lack of self editing or even the use of spell check (to make sure things like 'influential' and 'ethical' are spelled correctly) suggests a lack of influence even over the self, much less over others.

I did not participate at the previous discussion but taking into consideration the way Mr.T.R. behaves I would ask ALL participants to boycott him. If some body takes the joke Lyn made for good and sputters menaces he has NOTHING to do within CR4.

I would even ask "Control" if possible to push him out and never allow him to come back. It si enough to have people to produce energy from nothing we do not need more crack pots.
