FYI here are photos taken previously of an insulator, and one that appears to be damaged.

Remember that ‘secret’ insulator formulation? Starlite: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/5158972/Starlite-the-nuclear-blast-defying-plastic-that-could-change-the-world.html

Might be worth seeing if Maurice Ward has finally broken down and filed a patent!

It’s a thermal insulator, no word on electrical properties.

I had never heard of the stuff, but the AWE test video shows that there is a lot of outgassing under thermal stress with this stuff. Not what we want.
