Hmm I had a friend who was actually a customer of mine first... They did the fireproofing at The world trade center towers [elevator core] and newer building 7 [which sadly also went Poof in 9/11] and other buildings in NE USA ,he called me one day all excited for me to come and see this new invention for fireproofing heavy iron [or anything I suppose .?]He had me hold a sample [with my hand] while he heated it with a torch...didn't get hot...played around for quite some time making his point [and trying to burn me 
never got burned and he tried very hard...I will call him and ask what became of it ?it was supper thin and white in color..seemed Miraculous at the time .
I have often wondered what became of that tech..

do you have an Open source application ?
FE related ?
thxChet

I have often pondered if such a super thin heat shield could be of some FE benefit [application]My question seems appropriate ...since

we are after all in an FE  open source  Forum ?
do you have an application for an experiment ?
I will call my friend regardless...to be clear I am not attempting to be difficult ,just curious.
Thx Chet

In this video I attempt to recreate a lost supermaterial called Starlite. This material could supposedly resist temperatures up to 10,000 degrees Celsius, having undergone testing by NASA and the Atomic Weapons Establishment in the UK. I believe in this video I have come close in function to the original formula for Starlite, but there is still some work to be done.
