Ernst Graphene Compressor - Blueprint Development
Conducted by Dr. Hans Ernst


Objectives:

The Ernst Graphene Compressor (EGC) is a machine capable of compressing Graphene sheets into a Three-Dimensional shape. By creating a controllable High-Pressure High-Temperature environvent using laser-compression and heating, Graphene can be compressed and shaped.
This experiment aims to complete the blueprints required for assembling the machine in the future.


Personnel Involved:

- Dr. Hans Ernst

Equipment Used:

- Research Bay Computer

Experiment Description:
Using a software within the Research Bay Computer, the blueprint was facribated and reviewed.
Firstly, the core pressurization system, which utilizes a diamond and two different high-power lasers, was formulated. By shooting very powerful lasers into the diamond in a specific way, the diamond is heated extremely fast and electrons are stripped from its surface, forming a rapidly expanding plasma that raises the air pressure within the chamber to incredibly high levels.
Secondly, the heating and cooling systems, both of utmost importance, were created. By using 4 very powerful laser heaters positioned above, below and to the sides of the platform, the chamber is heated to temperatures up to 4000 degrees Celsius. The cooling, done with incredibly low temperature Nitrogen that floods the chamber, can then restore the chamber to ambient temperature in a matter of seconds. Hot air is then expelled via tubing that will connect directly to Foundation ventilation.
The shell, of incredible importance for security and stability of the machine, is composed of multiple layers. Firstly, a layer of vacuum insulation panels, followed by a thick sheet of steel, one more layer of vacuum insulation and an outer shell composed primarily of titanium. Through the middle steel section, there is tubing for the circulation of coolant, to further aid in thermal control. The hatchet for inserting and extracting the materials that would be compressed utilizes complete vacuum sealing for total thermal insulation.
Lastly, the Core Processing Unit, responsible for controlling every system in the machine, is found to its side, and users can operate the system using a monitor and keyboard.
