The arrangement for generating a flow of current through carbon fibers comprises a power source, at least two electrical conductors (5), which are connected to the power source, and a multitude of carbon fibers (3) that are embedded in an electrically non-conductive material (6). According to the invention, the carbon fibers (3) are connected in an electrically conductive manner via their end faces (4) to the electrical conductors (5), these end faces (4) being larger than the cross-sectional faces of the respective carbon fibers (3). When generating a flow of current through carbon fibers (3), the problem arises of overcoming a transition resistance between the carbon fiber (3) and an electrically conductive material (8) with which the carbon fiber (3) is brought into contact. This problem is rectified by enlarging the interface (4) between the electrically conductive material (8) and carbon fibers (3). This is done by cutting the carbon fibers (3) diagonal to their longitudinal direction. |
