Why don't they make bulletproof vests out of diamond if it is the hardest metal?

Why don't they make bulletproof vests out of diamond if it is the hardest metal?

1st Diamond is not metal, it is a mineral.

2nd hard is not what you look for in a bullet proof vest, you look for energy dissipation (spreading the force).

3rd, go back to school, you may learn something

It's too heavy. 1 gram of diamond weighs 15 grams.

............................yeah

Diamonds are made of the stuff in pencils. Just use pencils- way cheaper

you should kill yourself

1. It would be heavy af.
2. It would be impossible to wear/mould.
3. Stop playing minecraft
4. People would just come up and invent weapons which can penetrate diamond.
5. It would be incredibly expensive to mass produce.
6. It wouldn't really work as the force of the bullet would still be concentrated enough to shatter your rib cage.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

Diamonds are actually very brittle. Carbon that has been put under tremendous pressure creates diamonds, bot you would want something like carbon fiber reinforced polymer (or metals) which have excellent shock absorbing qualities. CFRP alone would not be sufficient so reinforcing metals with CF would help maintain low weight and high durability.

Quit playing Minecraft it's 2017

Cool story bro

>Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. It is __nonmetallic__ and tetravalent

Diamonds are neither minerals nor metals. They are carbon chains put under tremendous pressure.

Minecraft will always be relevant

"They are minerals Marie!"

wrong, Diamonds are minerals.

In mineralogy Diamond is one of the hardest metals (if not THE hardest metal) known to man. Diamonds are also a dog's best friend. Definitely much harder than anything walls are made of these days. It's also considered the 3rd shape after circles and squares or, according to Tiffany's jewellers in New York, the kite shape.

The older the fiancée, the larger and harder the diamond will be. This can be shown by examining the weakest of all diamonds, the sugar crystal. The sugar crystal is purchased under relatively low pressure and fairly low heat (gas mark 3). Thus it remains fragile and easy to pawn. The highest quality sugar mines are situated beneath the Andes in South Africa. This is primarily due to the increased pressure of the Andes mountains.

The next step up on the diamond quality scale is glass. This diamond, while brittle, is far harder than sugar. A very high heat (gas mark 5) is used to mould toughened glass to provide bullet proofing, while lower heats are used to mould more mundane, fragile items such as wine glasses.

The hardest diamonds used in jewellery and industrial drill bits are produced by geological pressures and events such as Ebay auctions. An eruption will generally lead to an all out bid war. Buyer Beware, these auctions known as "surprise packages" usually consist of a light dusting of poor quality diamonds, commonly called "Castor" or "Icing" sugar, and several high quality diamonds.

These are oldfags
The rest are newfags that got memed and fell for the bait

newfag

/b needs oc
Its the same threads over and over again and again everyday

can you even imagine how many niggas would sign up for police/defence forces if they thought they gettin a diamond vest... cuttin em up and gluing bits to their teeth

What a meme! XDDD

Always Kek'd my sides at this
