The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

And then they will bottle the diamond vapor and sell it to the toffs?

I think you'll find that Riddled Solar Plexus industries are a leetle ahead of you there Mr. Thunder ITIYRN.
2 points for the Moorcock reference.
bottle the diamond vapor
My understanding of the diagram is that the vaporised diamond is bounced off mirrors, focussed into a coherent beam, and transmitted in the direction of the sun. Presumably in an attempt to extinguish it.
I saw a contraption like that one as a steam power-generation system; steam would be generated by the sun's rays and drive a turbine. Mind you I seem to remember that the target blew up real good at least once.
At the Second Coming it'd be a good anti-Jesus device.
Also Mr Poindexter in the photo with the scale model diamond melter looks very uncomfortable. Something up the ass? enquiring minds etc.
If it sucks up all the sun's rays as promised we can certainly sleep better.
And if we could eliminate that smelly atmosphere crap there'd be no sound & we could all sleep better. Or at least sleep in.
Cal Tech should get on that A.S.A.P.
...good thing they included that counterweight
