Hum I guess that the easiest way is to use an electrolytic cell, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolytic_cell and put graphite (the black thing inside your pencile) to both electrodes... Put an acid solution water and ammoniac will be fine...

I am trying right now... The water is getting less limpid and gasses (I guess O2 and H2) are coming out. I am using a 9 Volts battery.



Tell me more about this! I'm no chemistry major but I'm wondering how it went?


I get graphite oxide in an solution (read + water), I put the solution in a normal cd, I wait so it get dry then I put it in a ligthscribe burner.

And I am stucked, the burner don't want to burn my cd, obviously.

I need something to force it to write...
