Carbon rods (very easy) The reason for mixing carbon dust with epoxy or resin is to add more strength and basically to make it as hard as rock ( ironic that steel is also a mixture of carbon and iron ) You will need: Some bees wax. graphite powder. Two parts epoxy resin. A template of the rod you want to make. Apply some mold releasing agent to the rod that you will be using as your template. Now, melt some of the wax and pour it into a cylinder that is longer than the actual rod that you will be needing. Dip the rod in the wax and allow to cure. Take the rod out. ( This might be difficult depending on the type of releasing agent and the applications) Now the tricky part. You have to mix a 10% ratio graphite to epoxy solution. Use the template rod and force the mixture into the mold, making sure to compact the solution with the downward momentum. Allow the mixture to cure, depending on the hardner that you are using. When the solution is cured just break the wax apart and cut the rod to the desired length.

Why are carbon rods used to conduct electricity?
carbon rods are good at conducting electricity because of the electrons in its outer shell. the electrons move easily. graphite and carbon rods are the only conducters which are not metal
How do carbon atoms C get into the atmosphere?
Mainly by oxidation (carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide). There is also dust.
What is the use of boron?
Boron is used to make control rods.
Enriched fuel pellets are used to make what?
fuel rods
What compounds can carbon make?
All organic compounds contain carbon. Carbon can make everything from carbon dioxide to chlorophyll.
I inhaled carbon fiber dust from a fishing rod when i was cutting the tip off of it is this once off exposure to carbon fiber dust from fishing rods dangerous long term for my health?
No u will be just fine however long term exposure to carbon fiber dust is really bad. I work in a factory where one machine cuts carbon fiber all day and ik its dangerous but if it was that bad we wouldn't do it.
Why the water gets heated when current is passed through carbon rods in it?
The carbon rods have electrical resistance. Thisi causes them to heat when current is passed through them. The water gets heated by the carbon rods.

Where can I find cheapest carbon fiber rods for rc foam planes?
You can get the cheapest carbon fiber rods for RC foam planes at rcfoam.com.
Why are carbon rods used in some batteries?
electrodes
Is it okay to eating carbon dust?
Carbon dust should not be consumed directly. It is a known, identified, and registered carcinogen. The dust if accumulated enough will create nausea and vomiting.
How do carbon atoms C get into the atmosphere?
Mainly by oxidation (carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide). There is also dust.
Can carbon steel rods be bent?
It depends on the precise material and the dimensions of the rod
What are some uses for carbon rods from batteries other than batteries and arc lamps?
Unfortunately modern batteries do not have carbon rods. To prevent punch through leaks from the zinc can, the carbon has been moved to a coating on the inside of a steel can and the zinc has become a finned metal rod in the center.
How many rods make up Mile?
Need length of rods in question to answer.
What is the hardest substane in the world?
Diamond (Crystalline Carbon) or Possibly a Known as 'Carbon whiskers' or 'Carbon Nano-rods' But that could have limited use's because of possible biological hazards.
Are women made from dust?
No, they're made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen... and puppies and pixie dust. Obviously.
