Am watching the Olympic trials and swimming jumping into the pool headfirst, albeit leading with their arms, can't be good when repeated, can it? Aren't they repeated low-impact collisions? Imagine Reason ( talk) 01:08, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
It is apparently a fact that:
And from another source:
And from this:
What is actually happening? Carbon is not exactly a metal and doesn't react with oxygen or much else at this temperature (hence the use in electrodes for electrolysis (e.g., salt water to chlorine and hydrogen, aluminium smelting, and even salt containing hydrogen fluoride (OK, possibly hyperbolic, but still not much should be happening chemically at room temperature with carbon, in any of its forms))).
What is the nobler "metal" in this case (nobler than aluminium)? The resin? And the carbon fibers acting like an electrolyte (perhaps together with salt water)?
What is actually going on, in detail?
