@AresExodus Yeah i get that, but he did mistakenly say it would conduct better.

[AresExodus]

@reed00112 Yep, but he's trying to make it glow brighter. More current through a thinner lead means more heat and light generated.

I bet people who disliked it are stupid and on welfare, who have nothing else to do but dislike science and mark dislike on everything. I'll never do this, but it's interesting!

[reed00112]

Thinner graphite wont conduct better much the opposite.
