http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_diamond I was just kidding about the DIAMONDS, because the process of making man-made diamonds is kinda similar. One method used invloves taking a carbon rich gas, acetylene, for instance, and turning it into a plasma. The carbon will condense out of the plasma onto the sides of the tank or onto any object placed into the tank and crystallize. I read where one kid in Australia or New Zealand was able to produce diamonds in his garage with some old welding tanks.........

We are talking about different things. The walls of the MHD throat have to be kept as clean and clear as possible. Thus the film-belt has to interfere with the E and M fields as little as possible, and yet remove the gunk that gets blown sideways onto the walls, as well as remove some of the heat from the throat.

This is sort of what my body is going thru now : ulcers(erosians in esophagus)and congestive heart failure(fluid in lungs) : a week in the hospital.
