I just got knocked off my feet with this new metal they have developed.

It rememded me of the metal that was described from the alleged UFO crash at Roswell, how it literally reforms its shape. The atomic structure has an "uneven" matrix.

It's 2-3x stonger than titanium. They dropped ball bearings in a tube with different materials, and it bounced like a superball compared to steel and other materials.

It's elastic, yet 3 times stronger than steel. Somehow, by cooling it very quickly, they eliminate the crystaline atomic structure, and it's some sort of liquid steel with memory.

The guy bent a wire, put it in dry ice, and it straightened out.

Then he showed a slightly different alloy, and he bent it easily, then put it in hot water, and it straightened out.

How would you like a car (with a dented fender) that if you poured hot water on, the metal would go back to it's original shape?!

I'll try to find a link. It's Buck Rogers stuff.

Sounds like they found a way to impose memory metals into something more extravagent. Sounds really cool.

You said it has an uneven atomic structure? Sounds interesting if you find the link I would like to read about it. See if our technology implementation guru's have heard about it and any possible uses.

It was on the history channel as "Metals" Went all the way from the discovery of Bronze to Aluminum and this weird metal. I love the History channel.

this might be it, hell, I'm know a little, but not what these crackpots are talking about.

This might, or might not be what it is. It's over my head, but they are talking about the crystaline nature of metals. It was some crazy stuff.

They showed Steel, Titanium and this supermetal and bounced a ball bearing on all three. The ball bearing was still bouncing after 30 seconds like a superball. It was amazing. (dropped from only one foot in my estimate). Totally blew my mind.

It was just on the History Channel I believe. Neat neat stuff.

They were talking about memory metals prior to this stuff. The ball bearing bounced the length of the tube several times before it gradually lost height.

It must have some incredible elastic features then, even our most elastic materials can't do that.

An elastic metal with memory would be a tremendous breakthru. It could lead to cheap supersonic aircraft and many other things. Sky's the limit.

Today they took a plane to outerspace.

Amazing times.

If you get the History Channel they usually repeat. This episode was about metals obviously but very interesting nonetheless.

The wire Mock was talking about was also cool. The guy demonstrating wrapped the wire approx. 1/8" thick around his finger a couple of times to form a coil. As soon as he dipped one coil into the warm water it uncoiled. Next coil same thing.
