      Is this the Diamond project as an experiment, or is this my personal project if I win the money? Or another project? If I do not answer your question please say.

      Diamond as a project is 10 years old already. It has an anticipated life of 25 years in its original form. But what Diamond is trying to achieve and the new areas we are expanding into and the technology upgrades we are doing, I would anticipate Diamond will be here much longer.

      My personal project if I win the money I would imagine it will take 4 moths to do and create all the instructions to reproduce the demo of Diamond using lego and raspberry pi’s.

      Hi there

      I think Dave’s answered the Diamond question. If I won I think my game might take a couple of months to get the first version of the rules making sense.

      Hi there!

      If you refer to the project I carry out at work:
      My colleagues and I are building a new kind of high energy laser and plan to finish it in a few months’ time.

      If instead you refer to my personal project if I win the money:
      It will take probably a couple of months to gather all the components making up the experimental kit. During the subsequent months, I will visit some schools to show it to students and allow students to make experiments with it.

      Cheers 🙂

      2 years for me – hopefully! It’s part of a research degree which you can do by taking time away from your normal job.
