Has the material Starlite become classified?

A friend of mine who used to work for the govenrment said to me that the material starlite most-likley would be available to the public. Even if it where to be available to the public, one with the neccessary knowlege of the material would be very limited in what its uses would be before it would be open for public consumption.

oops i made a typo there i meant that the material starlite wouldn't be available to the public. Sorry about that mistake guys!!!!

I've seen a very canning similarity between aerogel and starlite plastic. The only difference is that their backrounds are completly different. What i mean is when, where and by whom they where invented.

hmm could be made it into fallout shelter..

I wonder how light Starlite is? The article about Firepaste was talking about it like it was a plastic, is Starlite the same way or can it at least be made into a plastic?

Just imagine all the stuff that could be made from Starlite I would like to experiment with an engine made from Starlite plastic

A revolutonary material able to withstand over 10,000 C but the government manages to tie it up with red tape.

It would be so nice to learn if this is for real and if the public may eventually get to use it. It could save our economy billions of dollars and save more lives than were lost on 9-11.

Wow this is an old thread, but a good one. I'm glad you pulled it back out

This reminds me of an article I recently saw about NASA and how they are testing heat resistant materials for the new CEV.

www.popularmechanics.com...


Supposedly they are testing materials that can withstand 18,000 degrees fahrenheit and they have a giant room sized arc jet torch that is hotter than the surface of the sun to do so

I would like to expeirment with some of the materials they are using for high temp coatings for high performance engine parts like the tops of pistons, inside of the head, valve faces etc... so you run it to the limit and beyond with minimized fear of melting something

I'm going to pull this one back in to the present because I remember seeing the demonstrations of this on UK TV as a child, and its potential is underused.

There is a suppressed technologies thread on the go at the moment and this - I believe - is one of them.

Suppressed technologies is here

Suppressed Technologies

may be i am becoming too cynical [ old age and all ]

but when the guys website has more info , and pictures relating to his dammed harness racing hobby , than the alledged " miracle product "

i too remember seeing it on the BBC " TOMMORROWS WORLD " program

but i also remember seeing a llt of other things that they claimed were going to be " the next big thing "

Oi kieran prenderville , where is my hover car ?????????????

it is very easy to take all claims made by inventors / promotors @ face value - and then blame the failure to deliver on som " evil goverment conspiracy "

when in fact , it is the inventor / and or the failures of the product that are to blame for its disaperance from view

dont believe me ? , well if you are in the UK did you see some of the " dragons den " entries ?? every one believed they were the nest " big thing " - but some were literally laughed off stage

its not always a conspiracy

I remember this from when it all happened. I remember thinking at the time that this guy was interested in early plastics and was experimenting with them. Then I thought what chemicals are common with the beauty industry and early plastics, err, formaldehyde used in Bakelite. Starlight... Bakelite... I wonder!

I know this is an old thread but I hope this post gets noticed.

I just found this site with some interesting information on STARLITE, history and updates, including one from January this year.

This has to be something that is being used secretly by governments or miltary, it has far too many valuable uses for it to be just forgotten about!

Anyhow I'm not a scientist or anything, just thought it was such an amazing invention that I had never heard of. I knew there would be interest on ATS of course

Has anyone done a Freedom of Information Act request from NASA or other Government agencies on Starlite? What would pop up? a mess of blackstriked memos and research papers? FBI files? There has to be something there.

FOI wouldn't apply to something this new. It would(if it exists) probably still be highly top secret and wouldn't be release because of national security reasons.

Strange that the website www.starlitetechnologies.com... gives a Hartlepool phone number at the bottom of the page, the thing is, the phone number belongs to.............................Elite Trampoline Club, Mill House Raby Road Hartlepool Cleveland, 01429273557

I wonder if and when this product surfaces. I remeber reading that Chobham armor had been in development for some time when it was announced in the late 1980s. A research paper on this material was recently declassified and published that indicated the research behind Chobham dated back to the early 1960s....thats 15-20 years?

Mind you by that standard Starlite should have surfaced by now, atleast with Chobham, there was the cold war to restrict any publiction on its secrets.
