  • Abstract
    In this paper, the authors consider experimental results of the production of diamonds from electric wire explosions fulfilled during last five years. Three series of experiments were made. Different specimens were used in each series. In these experiments, an electrical current (close by 500 kA) was produced by the discharge of six 12 /spl mu/F 25 kV low-inductance capacitors. They were arranged near the transmission plate, designed for low inductance.
