iPhone Made Insanely Great With Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition Mod [M
Posted by: admin in Super Gadgets
The process of TiN utilizes some hardcore chemistry concepts to coat objects like luxury watches, drill bits and aircraft blades. Well, what happens when you treat a regular old iPhone in this manner? It ends up looking insanely great, that’s what. Checkout the gallery below for shots of the masterpiece, as well as the humango-normous equipment employed to reach the final splendid affect. Update: Paul Knight is the man behind the great work, superior still the mods are up for sale. Pricing details aren’t complete, but hit up the official website to have a look around. Also, your eyes aren’t deceiving you; iPod classic, nano and touch versions are in the pipelines, too. Sweet. Jump in for an updated shot, which shows the gold iPhone in all its glory, as well as for a link to the on the web store.
The iPhone Custom, as it has been dubbed, has a gold TiN Apple logo and a black TiA1N black front covering, which we comprehend to be a variant of the TiN process we so excellently describe below. The back covers were replaced with black anodized aluminum to eliminate the contrast between the antenna cover and the usual silver colored backing. Another project involved a more minimalist black logo, either way, they look stunning. How was it all done? Why, it’s the magic of TiN:
TiN is applied using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition tool, and now we’ll attempt to explain what that means: There’s a block of titanium placed in mahoosive machine similar to the one you saw above, nitrogen gas is flowed in, plasma is formed, things get ridiculously fast, atoms get embroiled in a turf war and fallen atoms end up providing the basis for the incredible coating. What does that mean? We have no idea; we were paraphrasing, our limited education only got us so far in high school. Fortunately, we know a spanking gorgeous iPhone when we see photos of it, and the iPhone Custom is the ideal example we have seen to date. No figures were thrown about, but the mods were stated to cost “a lot of $,” which pretty much means we cannot afford it. We still want. We really, really, really want. Oh, our want hurts so bad.
