Ahh the old funding problem, this is a problem in my country as well, particularly for ideas concerning alternative and renewable energy sources. The oil and coal companies are very keen to know what research is being done in this field, and buy a lot of patents, and bury them.

This makes it very hard to get industry or government funding for these products. I have a friend who ended up selling his patent to an oil company, simply because he had to. He was going broke trying to fund his project himself, and the oil company offered him a great deal of money, which he decided that he had to take.

This meant his idea was buried, and he isn't allowed (by contract), to even continue the research. This is the reality today.

I've seen some of the Science behind created gemstones, but doesn't the process require vast amounts of energy?

It will be interesting to see what you end up with, do you think the end product will be gem quality, or are you looking at producing for the industrial, (such as laser technology), market ?

Good luck with you research Hv :)
