Did you see the episode of Myth Busters where they try to make diamonds by rubbing peanut butter on charcoal and heat it in the microwave? There was another step but I forgot what it is, not that it matters anyway because of course it didn't work.
Hey, proof right here it works
BLING BLING IN THE MICROWAVE BIOTCH...
In 1980, Glenn Seaborg successfully transmuted lead to gold, possibly via bismuth... and in 1972, Russian scientists found that the lead shielding of an experimental nuclear reactor in Siberia had turned to gold...
http://www.goldkings.com/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-gold/These elements were created in the sun, I wonder if it is possible to take a close element like mercury, bizmuth or lead and dick with it under pressure and HHO which burns at some pretty insanely high temps and has the H right there for combination. I'm not saying it would work, but I think it's interesting. I've wasted some time thinking about it out of bordom lol...
It's been shown that hho successfully transmutes radioactive elements into stable elements. Make me think what else is possible.
