The apparatus by Professor Kennedy enables diamond synthesis by adopting such a configuration. However, this device is based on the idea that the range exceeding the strength limit of the cylinder material is compensated and reinforced by external pressure, and the pressure cross-sectional area of the reaction chamber should be within the range allowed by the hydraulic press capability. In order to take as much as possible, it is designed to use the minimum necessary load to reinforce the cylinder. Therefore, the cylinder is subjected to repeated pressurizing operation under the condition where the pressure limit is barely reached. Therefore, unless the sufficient consideration is given to the cylinder, the cylinder can only be used 100 times or less, making it an economical synthesizer. Moreover, it was impossible to increase the size of the device.

In the present invention, by applying a stress equal to or higher than the stress corresponding to the Poisson effect generated by the pressure applied to the inside of the cylinder to the entire surfaces of both ends of the cylinder, the stress is equal to or lower than the compressive strength of the material, On the contrary, the stress due to the Poisson effect is generated on the inner wall of the cylinder, and the stress corresponding to the Poisson effect is also generated on the outer wall of the cylinder. In the present invention, the latter stress acts as a tightening margin of the pressure vessel with respect to the outer wall of the cylinder, and an effect equivalent to preloading the inner wall of the cylinder is obtained. Due to these two effects, in the device of the present invention, the upper limit value of the generated pressure is dramatically increased as compared with the conventional device, and is 55 kb.
Even in the method of use that generates the pressure necessary for synthesizing diamond to a certain degree, the relative pressure burden is small, so the life of the device is dramatically increased. In the present invention, for example, when carrying out a diamond synthesis reaction, 55 kb is added to the cylinder.

When a stress of 25 kb is applied to the cylinder of die steel, the Poisson's ratio of the die steel is 0.3, so a stress equivalent to 7.5 kb is generated on the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder and is generated on the outer surface. The stress is a tightening margin because the cylinder is restrained by the outer pressure vessel,
A preload of about 6.6 kb is applied to the inner wall of the cylinder. For this reason, this cylinder has 42 kb + 7.5
An inward stress of kb + 6.6 kb is applied, and the device eventually withstands a pressure of 56 kb, which makes it possible to synthesize diamond.

As for the damping effect of this sleeve, when the inner wall of the cylinder is 100 mm and the inner diameter of the sleeve is 75 mm, and when a pressure of 55 kb is applied to the reaction chamber, the pressure of the sleeve is damped according to the Lame equation due to its thickness. Since only about 35 kb of pressure is applied to the outer wall of the sleeve, that is, the inner wall of the cylinder,
