Scuba Steve posted an interesting thread on a new alloy http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/138896-Never-quot-write-off-quot-backyard-tinkerers-eh?p=1130085260#post1130085260 so I thought I'd join in.
20 years ago a British inventor discovered a new plastic which could resist nuclear bombardment. Why have we never heard of it? Well, no patent because he's worried it will be ripped off. Secondly he insists on 51% ownership which industrial companies are uncomfortable with.
Is it a hoax? Don't know. The only reason I give credence to the report is because its in The Telegraph. Interesting if almost science fiction:
