Age restriction eh? Sorry man. This is over the edge, but videos of people jumping in front of cars and trains is ok... it’s apparent, our moment of enlightenment as a society has reached is pinnacle.

@@nerdpintrue

I'm confused about why its age restricted. I dont see any reasons personaly for it to be.

Admiral Fat Muscles weeell if you think about it... children playing with fire is never a good idea, and honestly none of us were ever stopped by the "don't try this at home", were we?

The thing is, there are ads that are worse then this. The vaping ads for example, while they have a good meaning behind them show images that (At least to me) are gross and would rather not be forced to sit through. Yet something educational like how to make something that can save a life (perhaps starlight could be used inside of the attire that fire fighters use to help protect themselves from the fires) gets age restricted.

Indeed, this stuff is amazing!

Agreed

Yes.

Indeed

For the delight of transnational corporations. This guy may not be making any money with this invention, but for sure KZfaq is getting a lot from it.

Wrong, the internet was designed for the government for government use, most notably ARPANET. Then, later, college's around the country. Largely for government and government funded research, largely on tech to communicate on the "internetwork" between "supercomputers".

Just to clarify, its cool that this information was shared but the internet was not designed for free sharing of information to the general public.

@@mattyconchatty govt still uses it today, specifically for spying and for tracking individuals. The internet was both a blessing and a curse all in one.

@@constitutionalrepublican1611 Yep. It was designed by the government for the government, of course they are going to spy. On another note, Benjamin Franklin said, a man who trades his freedom for security deserves neither (paraphrased).

not to mention this guy probably got more from ad revenue the inventor did

He wasn't 'paranoid', there were legit people after him and he died over it.

@@kevinmadcock8999 I'm sure! Can't go against the so called elites and their power structure.

lol no all replications filed when it was used to make a crucible for an induction furnace.

the "ferro snake" he spoke about . we have been making those since the early 90s in my friend group . we take at a ratio of 50/50 salt petre and sugar , shake it up in a jar because friction and either toss it into a fire for green and purple flames or light it with a cigarette in a pile . it`s a fun safe camp fire thing for us .

Do you suppose this stuff could be put on a window to reduce heat from sunrays? Thanks

Jonathan Tw I would assume that since it will stop a torch from burning this guys hand then I’m positive that it will do more than what you’re asking of it but it would definitely block you from seeing through the window so why have it at all? Lol

@@jonathantw6024 Doubt it would work as efficiently as you'd want considering the mechanism for this recipe's action is the carbonization of the material. Simple everyday sun rays won't be hot enough to activate it and it won't be any better at insulating than regular putty or Play-Doh.

Sorry my ignorance? Do you just submerge your gloves? Were they cloth or plastic ones? my uncle works with welding I would love to make Starlite gloves for him.

@@sparriot almost all welders use leather gloves he said acetone makes the mixture sticky so maybe coat the gloves the problem is keeping flexible Maybe cover fiberglass mesh with the compound or if he's a tig welder make a tig finger out of it for him I'm not sure how well it stands up to repeated heat cycles but I'm definitely going to start using it to protect anything heat sensitive I'm welding around

that's a hell of a way to avoid heartburn

@Twofigo the wiki article also states that there 21 ingredients however that sounds unlikely

@Twofigo baking soda is 1 ingredient.

I was going to say tortilla actually!

Firefighter dies from Hypothermia during fire.

It is not how it works but the idea is funny :D

Yeah guys could you heat it up past 10000 degrees I am catching a cold here lol

Yes!

Not even ads, thanks to KZfaq's stupid age-restriction.

@Andy Pandy How do know that those are the ingredients?

@johnny 71c are you serious?

Starlites formula has been Sold and is Not Hidden away a companys uses IT

Possibly because it uses "basic" ingredients, it could not be patented so Maurice Ward became too overprotective of the ingredients.

@@kaosinc Yeah, he said he wanted 51% ownership of the material (whatever that means). So it sounds like it couldn't be patented, probably because he isn't forming a new compound.

Because ward was a stingy bastard

I believe that's why Starlite WAS kept such a secret - the inventor didn't want people to realize how basic of an idea it was. I've seen many material inventions just like this one on youtube for a few years now.

He did actually crack cold fusion

If a hairdresser can invent it, anyone can

@@bigsmall246 Einstein was a patent office file clerk. Don't equate occupation with intellect.

@@n.a.nameless5435 yea but Einstein progressed into a full-blown eminent scientist. Ward never progressed beyond being an amateur chemist and a failed businessman. (He failed to create a business to sell his product)

Science!

@@dsantiago1000 ah... thank you for the explanation.

Dmitri666 that doesn’t answer my question but you’re welcome

Eyyyyy good one hahaha

That would be a interesting video I think Starlite is held in too high of a place for what it is but the mystery around it is what i like

@@joshf8583 I also like the mystery around it. I'm going to go search for that documentary

Second.

That was simply amazing

Exactly my thoughts

Von Degurechaff Putting himself first than the good of humanity*

@@TwilightAdvance So he was a capitalist. A real American hero. Ayn Rand would be proud.

pufthemajicdragon 🙄 keep puffing the magic dragon.

@@pufthemajicdragon Capitalism would have been selling it. Also, the idea that capitalism is somehow about putting yourself before all others is fucking stupid. 'Capitalism' is the Marxist term for a free market economy. 'Capitalism' is not putting yourself before all others or money before everything else. 'Capitalism' is simply about freedom. 'Capitalism' gives people the *right* to be selfish, but taking away people's right to be selfish is taking away their right to keep their stuff, which in turn is called 'theft'.

Agreed!

Change of heart. I care not for money. Vermiculite and crushed granite crystals. Unfortunately the glue is water soluble so it will not work. Under high compresion and heat maybe. Such as roof slabs for areas know to exceed 100 on Earth. Nothing lasts for ever but in a hot environment 50 years is good.

I must agree with the beauty of your merciful absence of music! That choice in making KZfaq videos, especially tutorials is highly underrated.

If I hear another ukulele!!

@@sage7309 Proven? I thought we had no idea what the original was made of?

Yes I second this!

Mark Rober if you watching, make this happen!!

NEEDS TO HAPPEN

If you check the early re entry nasa vehicles you can see the honey comb is carbonated ,and they use carbon blocks on the Columbia vehicles ,the idea was to heat the carbon graphite plates and layer by layer peals offfor heat shielding

Maybe Veritasium too

You know? This certain "someone" actually didnt reveal the material because the US government and other people wanted to make heat resistant weapons out of this stuff. Maurice Ward actually invented this Material to do good, he wanted to make the Space shuttle from Nasa be lighter and much more resistant. His intentions were good, not evil. Dont judge him just because he didnt reveal the Material. He didnt do that because he wanted to save people from dying by heat resistant Bombs or Soldiers fighting right after a nuclear bomb hit. Maurice Ward actually shared his recipe with his son. His son in the only person on earth who knows how to make Starlite Benny Banger, you should be shamed of yourself.

@@lasdiLP no you

Steffen Tysnes underange kid detected

@@lasdiLP "Maurice Ward actually shared his recipe with his son" One problem there, he doesn't have a son.

@@lasdiLP He didn't have a son, he had four daughters dumbass. None of them have shown any proof that they know how to make the substance, before or after his death. He just said that his family knows.

wow you have a good memory...

I was thinking just this. It explains perfectly why he was so protective of the formula.

Its formula is still unknown, video is about similar stuff but not the same. I will believe it is same if he hits it with 10,000 degree laser.

@@commandroid9336 Lasers don't have a temperature, they are just light. The temperature at the spot where a laser is hitting something depends on the properties of the material: how much of the light it absorbs and how well it re-radiates the heat or conducts it away. It's the same reason an asphalt road in sunlight is much hotter than a concrete sidewalk.

fuck his formula, you will not get it as 100%. all things close to it are good enough for research, also its public now

@@hyperhektor7733 yeah maybe someone will see this video and continue improving upon it

I did that this week lol

look up aerogel and aeroloy. super cool materials based on this same principal.

We need Nerd Rage and Nile Red to look into this.

It's has already been perfected... it's called my wife's lumpy pan-cake.. tsk-tsk

​@e causey < Graphene is actually a super good heat conductor, so that would be opposite of this insulating material.

I’m definitely testing this if I ever need to do a science fair project

That would be fun. However, I would trust this channel with my life.

and that's the issue

@@tank2543 : Not about trust, I'm just curious to see more of its properties that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

I'm off to make some and use the thermal camera. It should be fascinating to watch the black body action

Hmmmm! Add in some gypsum powder... and an industrial high temperature glue... and might work! :-D

I wonder how household paints would affect the performance, acrylic paint is one thing but what about oil based paints?

@@AflacMan13 Add gypsum powder to liquid glass and you've got everything you need.

Drywall is already very fire resistant, and there are ways to make it moreso that are already out there.

You didn't think that hair dresser was a chemist, did you??

@@ab_ab_c Hair dressers actually have quite a bit of chem. The stuff used in dying and bleaching hair for once requires some know how. At least in the old days. My mother used to teach chemistry at a school for hair dressers about 20 years ago. I bet the original creator also went through this.

@@brukernavnfettsjit I also want to point out, the most common hair bleach was the back bone of British missiles torpedoes and even the main component in our space rocket, (I believe we even had some experimental aircraft that ran on hair bleach?)

What mystery - you mean the fraud?

You missed the point that was explained. This has some similarities to starlight, but there are many differences. What are the twenty-one ingredients in the original starlight? What were their proportions?

Jon Lyons there are many very ground breaking things that are super simple

@@greenthizzle4 And most that are have been stolen shortly after release

Chris Williams no, the major groundbreaking things yeah.. But I'm talking about simple things, like transistors

Chris Williams or even the lightbulb.. things that we take for granted everyday and seem very simple but changed things

That would take watching the video amd reading the description.

Ironic

Interested

RexArthur Ramos let us know I was thinking it would work well as insulation in a kiln. From what I’ve seen most diy kilns seem to break down in time from the heat.

Simsimaspineshank S That’s why it would be a good material for melting metal in small crucibles. You don’t want a material that will absorb heat but a material that will reflect as much heat back onto the metal. If you use a material that absorbs heat, it would then steal energy that could have gone into the metal which results in longer firing time = wasting more gas. Normally I use a specific kind of brick for jewelry work to create a square “oven” but that application still isn’t optimal.

Cecil McKeithan I haven’t used it enough times on casting to give you enough data. For my application it does help. I do wonder if you might need to pre-fire the starlight to get the carbon to come out first since I dont know how hot your kiln gets but If you’re heating a kiln up to cone10 you shouldn’t need to pre-fire it. As for the durability? I also don’t know either haha, but the materials to make it are so cheap and easy to make that it warrants a try.

May have to make some and see if it would make a good mortar with the fire brick

Let us know if you try it. I was thinking the same thing

Given that part of the mechanism of starlite is a thermal expansion, making it rigid may nullify its insulative properties.

octet33 But Starlite was able to be a paste or a ceramic, according to the inventor. I get that this probably isn’t the exact formula for Starlite, but considering the similarities, it must be possible somehow.

@@matthewpattonv5326 Not ceramic... Resin.. like polyester fiberglass resin, or even plastic mixed with baking soda. I'll run some thru my precious plastic extrusion machine and try it

@@preciousplasticph I think any kind of plastic would trap the carbon and be counter productive. You should consider a carbon based binder. Maybe some kind of glycerin.

@@preciousplasticph woot, interested in the results!

Same, also i heard the original had 7 different ingredients. Although i could be misremembering . This was super cool btw. Edit: Its said to have been 21 different Polymers and Copolymers.

While direct testing is quickly viable based on cheapness of material, It could be worth examining the chemical reaction and figuring out the byproducts and how to optimize for them.

maybe some "exotic" stuff like coconut shells :D
