I "welded" a broken electrode back on using battery as an energy source.
You destroy small a battery, take out a graphite core and using it and
some *thick* cables you create a short between electrodes. �Graphite starts
to glow white hot and you can melt lead and weld this way.

I played with carbon arcs using the carbon cores from dry cells and an
old car battery when I was a teenager. You can blind yourself by
looking at the arc.�

Movie projectors in theaters used to use carbon arc lighting before
they changed to xenon bulbs.

I watched my projectionist friend splicing two partly used copper-
covered carbon electodes together to make one usable electrode when he
ran out of new ones.
