Starlite - the super heat resistant material (and how to make it)

For this video I make a super material known as starlite and test it's heat resistant ability against my own hand.

Really nice job! Great shots. Added this to my video response playlist also.

[@scoopscience]

Hey! Thank you! I appreciate you freely giving away your recipe too!

[@dldudley61]

Is there any material that diffuses thermal heat instead of absorb it

[@TheGoat62607]

These videos are so good, you should have way more subs!

[@scoopscience]

I really need to get back into making videos too for the channel. It's almost been a year since my last upload

[@rugershooter5268]

Now you have to buy a new Yahtzee set

[@miken7629]

Add borax, used in high temp borosilicate glass and ceramics

[@garcitosmarilyn1774]

Hahaa nice quick exchange of dice , such a fake starlight 😂😂😂

[@glenolivera3610]

Very cool

[@jameshuffman4403]

Very nice verbage. You said, "Stuff's pretty {COOL}"! Nice VID..

[@new_contents_all_day]

Exactly how much temperature it can withstand ? I am looking for a material with High heat resistant upto 5000 degree Celsius.. There are none

[@scoopscience]

It possibly could withstand temperatures up to that high. It just may not last as long. I don't have a way to make something that hot currently so testing it is not possible for me. But in the video I used a really small blow torch but I have since gotten a much bigger one and it can withstand a lot of hot flame for a while.

[@new_contents_all_day]

@@scoopscience there is one chemical which can create that mush temperature for a split second .. but it's very dengerous and explosive .. Its name is nitroglycerin .. very easy to make but very dangerous .. I am trying to find a way to make this chemical burn slowly and gradually increase temperature instead of exploding

[@scoopscience]

Good luck with that chemical. It can blow your hand off if you're not careful

[@new_contents_all_day]

@@scoopscience I know , but I have no other alternative to create that much temperature

[@ueehurstonsecurity8887]

would thermite help? that's like the only thing I know of that gets weirdly hot. I do have a suspicion though that maybe lasers get hotter than chemicals burning. I just wonder if a laser has a way of being magnified to levels of heat that Radiant heat cant do. like when you use a magnifying glass with the sun. If I held a magnifying glass next to a fire burning would that have any real effect on the temp even if it was EXTREMELY minuet. I kinda wonder what the limit would be for magnifying direct heat from a laser would be, Seems to be like potentially limitless if you had a big enough magnifying lens or enough of them stacked.

[@jpbonhomme5051]

FYI The hottest part of the flame coming from your torch is immediately in front of the smaller, inner cone

[@youtuber9605]

will it resist heat after getting dry can we use it to contain heat inside something like adhesive

[@scoopscience]

Not sure about the second part to that but it will still resist heat after its dry

[@ueehurstonsecurity8887]

like using it as a powder and the adhesive as a base to carry it in? so when it drys you have like a heat resistant/water tight seal? edit: if so thats a cool idea

[@MaitlandJones]

How does it taste?

[@scoopscience]

I didn't taste it. I'm assuming not that great though

[@MaitlandJones]

@@scoopscience And you call yourself a scientist?! Come now! Live up to your channel name, taste the forbidden play doh!! In all seriousness, it's made entirely out of food products, I'm kinda curious if it would resist being in the oven for 20 minutes, and if what came out of the oven would be passable food. If it tastes like crap or not prolly depends on your proportion of sugar to bicarbonate soda. Note how when put to the blow torch is starts to rise...you know...like bread.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@jamivirtanen474]

2:07 you could say those fules are quite dicey...

[@jcsmans718]

Are you planning on releasing the satellite image from the last video?

[@scoopscience]

Absolutely, when the image is released to the public I will be making another video of it and explaining a few extra things about it

[@jcsmans718]

Scoop Science ok sweet! I was just wanting to know.

[@vevolander]

Thanks for the video. Is it possible to use this material for single use barbecue insulator? I mean to hold the charcoal

[@scoopscience]

Technically you could I guess.

[@stevenchiverton48]

and you didnt use that schoolers glue in it

[@EnginoIsRunning]

you said the same thing two years ago

[@mehedihassan1737]

any metal

[@antonibrahim8317]

How much can this material last till not expired?

[@scoopscience]

As long as any usual dough. I'm not too sure how you could stop it from going moldy

[@unclesam5286]

Thanks.

[@stevenchiverton48]

you forgot to use the pva glue used in starlite elmers wood glue is used etc etc

[@scoopscience]

That's for a slightly different recipe, I was making a cheaper version.

[@philburr4075]

Did you see your self in the picture took from space yet?

[@scoopscience]

Not yet, there will be an update video when they release the photo. That should hopefully be in a week or two

[@DBeck-kz5hx]

Is heat resistance the same as low thermal conductivity?

[@controversialopinion5722]

Yes.

[@reaganharder1480]

@@controversialopinion5722 No. At least, not in a general sense. Styrofoam has a pretty low thermal conductivity but not a very high heat resistance. depending on your definitions, steel has a pretty high heat resistance, and also a high thermal conductivity.
