<p>A method for producing very dense bodies of material from particulate materials. A particulate material is placed within an electrically conductive container (108'). A solenoid or coil (36') encompasses the electrically conductive container, and large magnitude of electrical current is caused to flow through the solenoid or coil. As the electrical current flows through the solenoid or coil, large magnitudes of magnetic pressures are created upon the electrically conductive container, and the electrically conductive container is compressed, and the transverse dimension thereof is reduced. Thus, the particulate material within the electrically conductive container is very firmly compacted, and a rigid body of material is provided.</p> |
