Sounds like a pile of...carbon to me. :)
When they first built the first nuclear reactor they called it an atomic pile. One of the physicists was impressed, thinking "pile" was "volt" in some language or other (I can't remember the details anymore). Instead it was called a "pile" because it was constructed out of a pile of carbon bricks. :)
