Starlite, A material that could withstand 75 Hiroshimas
 

Interesting read:
Two decades ago amateur scientist Maurice Ward invented a material that could resist the force of 75 Hiroshimas. So why haven't we all heard about it?

what a shame


bogged down by corporations that just want to steal it for themselves

like the intermittent wiper blade

or the latest one seen (some HS kid made a stabilization device for autos that would prevent flipping etc he doesn't have patents and he's already let GM etc take a look @ it and they all say "we're interested because we've been planning something like this for awhile)


quite a shame this old guy could have been a billionaire



what's weird is... google results are barren...

and the guys website is gone



sounds like these guys got in the way

because u know the US wouldnt want their enemies to be able to get a hold of it (they'd coat their bunkers in it and laugh)

Captain America's shield is made out of this shit!

hmm seems like he tried to sell his plastic coating during the BP Spill

ward is dead now, so does anyone know the formula?

reverse engineer anyone?

That stuff doesn't look very thick if it's just that little square. Are they going to actually build things out of this eventually?

Are people going to get hoods and trunk lids made out of this shit?

...or are ricers going to buy stickers to make theirs into "starlite look"?

where did you read that?

and the article says his family knows how to make and samples have been stolen

The problem is not government or big companies it's the inventor. you see it on Dragons Den all the time. He would rather have a large piece of a small pie (or no pie in this case) rather than a small piece of a large pie.

Sounds like this dude needs to rethink his business strategy

if its really capable of what they say, this stuff is just magic
think about all the benefits that everyone can use

Just think about what NASA could do with this stuff, It could be the future of space travel.

:blush:

I've got a carburetor you can put on any car and get 100 MPG guaranteed. I can't market it because the oil companies are getting in the way, but if you want I'll send you the plans and you can build it yourself.

^ SIGN ME UP!

^ lets see this!!!

It probably would have saved the lives of everyone onboard the Columbia.

Yep no questions asked it would of and for use for the military as well. Like and better then a Kevlar vest.

Does it look like this,

^ Just make sure you don't go over 88mph.

yeah except this guys stuff was actually tested by Nasa and ICI and the military etc

been 20 years since he created it...and yet he hasn't make a single penny on it :/
defence contractors and corporations must've asked for ridiculous deals, or the guy is extremely stubborn...

That's the FIRST thing I'd be doing!!! :fullofwin::fullofwin::fullofwin:

20 years and he still hasn't sold the idea? just sell it for 10 million and call it a day :)

he's a very greedy guy. he's looking at more than billions of dollars.

It's the material of the future; it's an impossible material. It's easily worth more than a billion dollars.
