The Implosion Compressor is a GregTech 100% Lagfree Multiblock Machine that functions as an evolution of the standard IC2 Compressor. It is used to compress Gem Dusts (Ruby, Sapphire, Green Sapphire, Diamond Yellow Garnet, Red Garnet...) back into their Gem forms (at a ratio of 4 Dusts : 3 Gems). It is also used as the final step of Industrial Diamond creation (Coal Chunk -> I. Diamond), and in the creation of Iridium Alloy Plates. Every compression job also produces half of its Industrial T.N.T. cost in Dark Ashes as a byproduct.
The Implosion Compressor is unique in that while each operation it performs consumes only 1 second and a tiny amount of EU (600), every action also consumes a large quantity of Industrial TNT. So if you intend on making a lot of Industrial Diamonds or Iridium Alloy Plates, you should stockpile ITNT beforehand.
Whenever the Implosion Compressor processes a recipe, it also generates two explosion sound effects. This can be somewhat alarming to other people in the area, as they may suddenly think that their house is exploding.
Note that compressing 4 Diamond Dust returns 3 Industrial Diamonds (not merely regular Diamonds).
