A material which is to be considered representative of fullerite for purposes of the present invention is obtained by electrically evaporating carbon electrodes in an inert atmosphere such as helium at a pressure of about 100 torr.
The currently preferable form of fullerite for use in the fuel compositions of the present invention is the hydrocarbon-soluble portion of the material obtained when graphite electrodes are electrically evaporated in an inert atmosphere such as helium.
The mixture of fullerites obtained in this process is presently believed to principally comprise primarily the C-60 and C-70 structures, and it is also presently believed that it is these species which impart the lubricative characteristics to the fuel compositions of the present invention.

The aforementioned feed hydrocarbons for the production of fullerite in the invention need not be pure; commercial sources from natural gas and petroleum processing contain small amounts of other hydrocarbons which are not detrimental.
Under the aforementioned conditions for operation of the invention, methane is less efficient for the production of fullerite precursors and large amounts of methane in the feed to the reactor results in undesirable degradation of fullerite yields.
There are three features of this experimental laboratory practice of the invention that provides fullerite as essentially the only non-gaseous product, which differentiates it from normal hydrocarbon pyrolysis practice that provides only the typical pyrolysis coke forms and no fullerite.

Fullerite jargon is flooded with the language of Zion though it is drenched with a completely different sense content than traditional Biblical theology would permit.
Fullerites, when using Biblical terms such as sin, unbelief, pardon, wrath and righteousness re-interpret these in accordance with their Grotian theology.
Thus Fullerites deny that orthodox men preach on the wrath of God because they themselves mean something quite different by it.

At present, the techniques of producing the polymeric phase in the pure form and the quantities, sufficient for an experimental research of their electronic properties, are still developing.
As the fullerite is an allotropic form of carbon, the parameters obtained by fitting the band structure of bulk graphite were used as the initial ones [14].
A comparison between the experimental spectrum of fullerite and the theoretical spectrum of free molecule is possible because of the weakness of intermolecular interactions in the solids, as evident from the insignificant band dispersion in the fullerite C60 [16].

 Diamond as a Technological Material
When carbon vapor is formed, either in an electric arc or by intense laser pulses, and then rapidly cooled by collisions with a cold, inert background gas, the atoms spontaneously form perfect soccer ball -like spheres.
These balls can be crystallized to form a fl solid called fullerite.
One of the many fascinating properties of fullerite is that it can be doped with small amounts of metal to form a high temperature superconductor.

 Fullerite - Wikipedia
La fullerite è un minerale che prende il nome da Richard Buckminster Fuller, l'architetto statunitense che inventò la cupola geodesica che ha forma simile alle molecole dei fullereni.
La fullerite si è formata nello spazio interstellare, per l'azione dei fulmini su substrati carbonosi o per metamorfismo delle rocce ricche di carbonio.
La fullerite si presenta in cristalli microscopici, più spesso in aggregati tondeggianti.

Polymerization of nanotubes is possible by analogy with ultrahard fullerite, since the nanotube is a graphite sheet curved into a cylinder, while fullerene is that curved to sphere.
Success in ultrahard fullerite synthesis using stress tensor variation in a shear diamond anvil cell (SDAC) demonstrates the advantages of this procedure.
The application of shear deformation (stress tensor variation) decreases the hysteresis of a phase transformation and makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous phase.

Diamond is the hardest known natural material and one of the two best known forms (or allotropes) of carbon, whose hardness and high dispersion of light make it useful for industrial applications and jewelry.
(The other equally well known allotrope is graphite.) Diamonds are specifically renowned as a mineral with superlative physical qualities — they make excellent abrasives because they can be scratched only by other diamonds, Borazon, ultrahard fullerite, or aggregated diamond nanorods, which also means they hold a polish extremely well and retain luster.

The material boron nitride, when in a form structurally identical to diamond, is nearly as hard as diamond; a currently hypothetical material, beta carbon nitride, may also be as hard or harder in one form.
Furthermore, it has been shownthat ultrahard fullerite (C60) (not to be confused with P-SWNT Fullerite) when testing diamond hardness with a scanning force microscope can scratch diamond.
A Type IIa diamond (111) has a hardness value of 231 GPa (±5) when scratched with a diamond tip which leads to hypothetically inflated values.
