DQ News: FireIce: Like Water On Steriods

Peter Cordani, a serial inventor, discovered the FireIce gel in 2006, when he was experimenting with protective coatings to defend homes from hurricanes. CNN Money has more:

Peter Cordani is trying to set his hand on fire. The 2,000-degree blowtorch he’s holding clearly works — it just incinerated a piece of wood — but when he touches the flame to his palm, which is coated in a clear gel, nothing happens. He doesn’t even wince.
