    The damage done also depends greatly on the lava you use. Silicate lava (the melted "lava rock") is generally the coolest ranging from 800C-900C. Whereas Ultramafic lava can be almost twice as hot, ranging from 1600C-2000C (hot enough to melt steel and vaporize a lot of materials).
    In addition fluoroantimonic acid, Carborane acid, or Magic acid would be much more effective.

    The problem with the «lava» is that for any thing that contains moisture it will gain a heat shield, in the form of vapor. The vapor becomes isolation. And with the amount of liquid in that is in meat, it gets a lot of shielding compared to the time it takes for the «lava» to cool. This is the reason that when we blacksmiths harden steel, we have to keep the material moving, as to have constant contact with the liquid, and not just get the the heat shield preventing hardening from happening.

      ​@@niazjaffar7022I mean it's sorta hard to get large amounts of super acids? Plus having to film most of these in a plastic box wouldn't be interesting to watch. Also they dissolve metals even slower than normal acids so it wouldn't have helped. HCl is actually the best at dissolving metals out of any acid alone and even more so when mixed with nitric acid so I believe he did the option with the best possibility of working. I will say for the I pad he should have actually used a weaker acid like Hydrofluoricixed with hcl to dissolve the glass and the metal.

      It's not unreasonable to think it could've broken, in fact that was probably near the limit of how much stress a diamond can take before shattering. Just because something is extremely hard does not make it unbreakable

    The funniest part about the diamond is if he had simply flipped it over and hit it on the culet (the point) it would’ve probably cracked or shattered or at least chipped. Diamonds are strong, but very brittle and some of them don’t actually have a perfect point at the bottom because of it, the culet is slightly flat to make them stronger.
