welcome to TTI today we are listing five
lost inventions that could have changed
the world every science lover should see
this video number five
starlight invented in the 1980s by an
amateur chemist named Maurice Ward
starlight is a material that could
supposedly withstand a nuclear blast
this plastic is made up of 21 organic
polymers and copolymers as well as small
quantities of ceramic compounds in
demonstrations eggs protected with a
star light coating remained raw in the
12 thousand degrees Celsius flame of a
blowtorch well it hasn't broken up at
all and you can see on the front here
it's glowing red hot but just watch this
if I turn the flame off and remember
that it was producing 1,200 degrees
Celsius and I take that charred bit and
I put it flat in the palm of my hand it
only just feels warm and if I didn't
crack it open
what's more the egg hasn't even begun to
start cooking in other tests the
materials applied 10,000 degree laser
blast that's three times the sublimation
point of a diamond among its impressive
attributes it was remarkably lightweight
did not release toxic fumes and could be
formulated as a liquid paste or molded
solid although Starlight through the
interests of governments and
multinational corporations Ward failed
to commercialize the invention and the
mysterious formula vanished when he died
in 2011 so my friend do you know what's
in the formula just kidding number form
ogle carburetor in the late 1970s auto
mechanic Tom ogle unveiled a device that
allegedly increased auto fuel efficiency
to over 42 kilometers per liter it was
known as the black box
his upgrade required a reinforced gas
tank and heating coils as pulling vapor
from the liquid fuel rendered it
ice-cold ovale demonstrated his
prototype to reporters by driving three
22 kilometers on just 7.5 liters of gas
oil companies reportedly approached ogle
with million-dollar offers to never
build another machine but ogle refused
to sell okhla had dreams to design and
sell his own cars but he was shot by an
unidentified assailant in 1981 before
suspiciously dying of an accidental
overdose later that same year an
incredibly sad situation for he and his
family
number three chronovisor
Pellegrino air nephew was a Roman
Catholic Benedictine priest
known for being the most famous Exorcist
in Venice Italy in the 1950s Annette she
claimed to have invented a time viewer
called the chronovisor that allowed one
to view events from the past era Nettie
had a degree in quantum physics and was
allegedly assisted by scientists such as
Enrico Fermi and Verner von Braun the
chronovisor was described as a cabinet
with a series of mysterious controls
that could decode past electromagnetic
radiation using the machine air net he
said he had observed and photographed
Christ's crucifixion an assertion he
later recanted in confession yet
just prior to ernet he said a fellow
priest claimed he learned the Vatican
had recorded a functional chronovisor
destroyed and that air Nettie's
confession was falsely coerced to
forever hide the technology away from
ungodly hands number two
Tesla's death ray the teleforce was a
charged particle beam weapon developed
by Nikola Tesla in the 1930s based on
the Van de Graaff generator Tesla
claimed that his death ray could bring
down a fleet of 10,000 enemy airplanes
at a distance of 322 kilometers he
reportedly carried out successful scales
tests of the weapon but it's true mode
of action remains unknown some speculate
it may have been a laser or a proto
railgun negotiations for the technology
were conducted with several world powers
but Tesla refused to provide blueprints
wary of his super weapons power to end
all war
in the wrong hands Tesla kept a
schematic all in his mind the Soviet
Union was rumored to have tested a stage
of the device but the full design
disappeared after Tesla's death in 1943
number one flute digital coding system
in the late 1990s Dutch inventor Ramayan
Bernard flute claimed to have developed
a revolutionary form of data compression
the solut digital coding system was said
to have been able to compress an entire
multi-gigabyte movie down to the size of
8 kilobyte flutes invention allegedly
allowed him to play 16 movies
simultaneously from just a 64 kilobyte
chip without the computer reading from
the hard drive
upon demonstrating the idea to philips
executives in 1999 flute was told he was
about to be the richest man on earth
however two days before the source code
was going to be handed over flute was
found dead in his garden of a heart
attack his decoding algorithm was never
recovered and it was revealed that
someone had also tampered with the
demonstration chip so guys which one do
you think is the most significant loss
to the world do you know of any other
great lost inventions not mentioned in
this video let us know in the comments
thanks for watching peace
Oh
