Talk:Baltzar von Platen (inventor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"von Platen left the project before it succeeded in producing the first synthetic diamonds in 1953."
You have to check the history of these facts. The first synthetic diamond was acctually made togeather with ASEA in von Platen´s laboratory in Stockholm (Adress: Götgatan 14) Februari 15, 1953.
Below text moved from "Baltzar von Platen (1898-1984" (sic):
I worked with Baltzar in the late 70's (looking for finance) on many projects which included 1) A device to manufacture gem size diamonds 2) A "water" driven car engine the patent of which he sold to Volvo 3) A space engine that worked best at -273 degrees, rejected by the German Patent office because they said there was no such temperature ( 1925 or so )Note the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded this week.(10th October 2003) 4) A near "perpetual motion " device based on the fact that he proved that very close to absolute zero, resistance disappeared. Again refer to this years Nobel prize winners 5) Curing a facial melanoma by catching some shark in front of the Saltsjebad Hotel , drying the fins and applying the powder to his face
The above was all current in the 80's but of course in the 30's he produced the first synthetic industrial diamonds with ASEA and the first commercial refrigerator with a Swedish refrige coy.( He called it "ice from a flame" )a heat exchange.
He of course wrote a book explaining that he learned his science ( 100 years ahead of anyone else ) from two visits and meetings with visitors from space !!!!!!!!!
I lent my signed copy to someone and never got it back.!!!!!!
