ello everyone,

I'm trying to find a hands-on description of how to carbonize e.g. bamboo so that it becomes a highly conductive material. Sort of like what Edison did to carbonize the bamboo that he used for the filaments in his lamps, possibly assisted by new knowledge.

I've searched the internet on several occasions but don't seem to find anything that describes how it's done in practice. Also, I don't have expensive equipment available so a simple process is desired.

Any input on this is appreciated  

Best regards,

Jesper

Hi again,

Nobody knows how a carbonization process is carried out?

Just a link to a webpage would be appreciated

Likely sealed in a metal can with a few holes punctured, and heated in a fire until gas evolution ceases as evidenced by there no longer being a flaming hole in the can.

Hi 408,

& thanks for your suggestion. I probably need to make it a more controlled process so that I can regulate the resistivity of the end-result. Would you happen to know how this is carried out?

Greetings,

Jesper
