Thats the guy Tech...there are many story's on the net...I saw a sample of this super strong lightweight plastic like material apparently made from corn syrup, diet coke, and some other grocery store items.

Very impressive...has a much longer impact resistance life before weakening.

I believe he called it Hurtsey.

Hi Tracker
your first link as an error message
I watched the video, I remember seeing this when it was new, way back in the 70s
tomorrow's world was great television. BBC took it off air sometime in the early 80s
I remember something about the guy not trusting anyone when it came to a deal
it's a shame the BBC are not bring back the series

thanks for the memory
