And don't make your heat shield out of water-saturated materials! Vacuum + water + time = no more water. Without evaporative cooling, the carbohydrates [flour] will simply burn rather than foam. No carbon foam, no insulation. Water-gel is what Laurie used to set his head on fire; he didn't feel any heat until the stuff was drying out. Again, how does one prevent the heat-shield from losing moisture? How would you know it was sound at re-entry time? If it goes into space, and your life depends on it, it better be stable in any environment.

I'm very impressed Lauri/Annie,I thought for sure the thermite would have burned completely through,I was even more impressed when you touched the container bare handed without any issues with it at all.

Starlite's composition is a closely guarded secret, but it is said to contain a variety of organic polymers and co-polymers with both organic and inorganic additives, including borates and small quantities of ceramics and other special barrier ingredients - up to 21 in all. Perhaps uniquely for a material claimed to be thermal and blast-proof, it is claimed to be not entirely inorganic but up to 90 percent organic.[7] Nicola McDermott, Ward's youngest daughter, stated that Starlite is 'natural' and edible, and that it has been fed to dogs and horses without ill effects.[8] In 2018, KZreadr NightHawkinLight demonstrated how to produce a material with characteristics very similar to Starlite by mixing corn starch, baking soda and PVA glue, and mentioned that flour and other types of glue could be used as alternative ingredients.[9]

I considered the startlite failed because the bottom registered 200 degrees at the end of the minute which means it is not a heat insulator anymore. Impressive none the less.

I like that you gave credit to the channel, Night Hawk, that this originated from. I tried the 9 parts Corn Starch to 1 Baking Soda, but in one batch I added some laundry additive "Borax." I also used condensed milk instead of White Glue and it seemed more durable.

I watched the original Starlite documentary back in the 80s and the guy would never sell the recipe. This is the first time I've seen an attempt to make it again. This could have saved lives for the passed 30 years! If it was only corn starch, baking soda and glue, how the hell is it not in every home as an insulator? I'm really happy I found your channel. Have you tried coating an egg and blasting it with a flame to show that it is still raw inside? The documentary had a laser that burned itself out trying to make startlite even a little bit hot.

It looks pretty rubbery, how much glue did you use and how long did you leave it to dry out? I think you could get even better results either with less glue or with more time to dry out.

If you had the outside of the graphite crucible coated with starlite, do you think it would stay cool enough to pick up with your bare hands with the molten metal inside?

What if you compress just cornflower in the press into a disk, would that show similar heat protection?

“tempa-tu-wera” I love accents

The starlight seems to be a better insulator than the crucible, but the crucible (I could be wrong) appears to be more resiliant, like it does break up with the heat. So what if you had a lamination if crucible material as the first barrier and then starlight material as the second. Would it compare to the tiles on the space shuttle?

Starlite's more like an ablative heatshield, where the graphite crucible is more of a thermal balancer.

Pretty sure that Starlite was very loosely based on the ablative Apollo reentry capsule heat shield. The timing lines up, Maurice invented it in the early 1970s. Starlite is an ablative, whereas the Shuttle tiles don't ablate. But starlite isn't as good as even the Apollo heat shield in one key regard- that shield was shelf-stable, whereas Starlite seems to physically degrade after a few weeks.
