denTired. Hungry. Happy.
Why do they use methane in GVD diamonds and not ethane? There's twice as many carbon atoms in ethane. Why heat the gas with microwaves? Isn't the plasma stream hot enough? Or is that an effect of being at 0.1 atmospheres, where not enough heat is generated due to the low pressure.
Gotta love road trips.
