N. J. Conte, 1795, England.
Mechanical pencils, like the regular kind of pencils, use graphite.
Mechanical pencils themselves do not need any energy in the forms of battery or electricity. However, mechanical pencils do need human energy to work. We need to add lead and push lead out; they do not do this on their own.
No, the lead in mechanical pencils is actually a mix of graphite and clay, not the toxic substance lead. Ingesting a small amount of graphite is not harmful, but it's still best to avoid consuming it.
Not necessarily. The choice of lead hardness in a mechanical pencil can vary depending on the manufacturer. Some people prefer softer leads like 2B or B for smoother writing, while others prefer HB for a balance of darkness and durability. If you prefer a particular lead hardness, you can purchase refills in that specific grade to ensure consistency.
lead pen because a lead pencil is a regular pencil.

because it tells you what kind of lead just like for mechanical pencils
A life time if you have lead.

No, it is a mixture of Graphite (a form of Carbon) and clay.
The first mechanical pencil was invented in Britain in the early 1820s, and patented by John Hawkins and Sampson Mordon in 1822.
Yes. All pencils use lead - not the element, but a graphite and clay mixture molded into a long narrow strip.
Graphite was originally used for pencils until a mixture of lead and clay was invented in 1795.
Lead pencils do not actually contain lead; they are made of graphite. Graphite is not toxic to humans, so there is no risk of lead poisoning from using pencils. However, ingesting graphite or pencil fragments can cause mechanical irritation in the digestive tract.
Hold the button that makes lead come out and gently push the lead back in at the same time,
