Was mylar an invention of area 51

To try to answer the question " Was mylar an invention of area 51 " military research we have to do a little digging into the history of this foil like plastic.

The above picture shows aviation technology printed on a mylar balloon and was found on a site called frequentflyersclub.

The image below is a picture of a tattooed alien also printed on mylar and it was found on sunshinejoy.com.

Both are interesting and those sites will gladly sell you either of those items.

On a more serious note however the question of was mylar an invention of area 51 experiments with state of the art materials that needed to remain top secrets and for the eyes of the military only was looked into by a Canadian recently who suggested that the alien conspiracy which includes advanced materials found at the site and covered up by the military was nothing more that them trying to keep this new material a secret.

Why ?

Biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate or boPET was a great electrical insulator and an advantage in aircraft technology. It was also very much like foil in reflective quality but unlike foil it had the ability to restabilize itself after undergoing stresses.  boPET took on some trade names such has Mylar, Hostaphan, and Melinex.

This was happening in the 1950's when the companies DuPont and  Imperial Chemistry Industries invented boPET.

What was found at area 51 was likely nothing more than some scraps of Mylar or boPET. The need to keep this information top secret is self evident. Military secrets give a country an advantage and if this stuff was being used in the development of more advanced air ships then picking the pieces of this stuff " which looked like it could only be made by an advanced alien species " after a crash would have been a wise move for the military personel.

Was mylar an invention of area 51 ? From this information the answer seems to be no. boPET is a Dupont invention with the credit of such materials going to others also.

The American chemical company DuPont was not new to supplying contracts to the military. They were founded in 1802 and  ran a gunpowder mill for a long time. They became one of the biggest names in polymers and revolutionalized the materials used in industry by introducing products such as Mylar, M5 Fibers, Nomex, Teflon, some Freon derivatives, synthetic polymer paint pigments such as ChromaFlair and much more.

Does this mean all area 51 conspiracy theories are a hoax ?

Maybe and maybe not. The bigger question that effects humanity might be " What other secrets would the military hide from us and the enemy to keep their experiments classified as black ops ? "

My father invented plywood

Who wouldn't give a million dollars to say " My father invented plywood " ?

That's part of the foundation behind the inventor Alfred Bernhard Nobel.

Not to be outdone perhaps or just because he was a genius more likely the son of Immanuel and Andriette goes on to invent dynamite and receives an early epithet as "Le marchant de la mort" or "The merchant of Death" from a French newspaper that mistakenly wrote up an obituary about Alfred Nobel. His brother Ludwig had indeed died in 1888.

Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden on October 21, 1833 and died of complication from a stroke in Italy on December 10, 1896.

His father was also the owner of a torpedo factory which he operated out of Saint Petersburg in Russia.

As an academic he started out as a protege of Professor Nikolay Nikolaevich Zinin. He followed up by travelling to the US where he furthered is knowledge of chemistry while working for John Ericsson the Swedish-American inventor.

By 1847 Alfred Nobel had thrown his energy towards explosives. In this same year  Ascanio Sobrero discovered nytroglycerine. This substance along with some sawdust likely from the plywood factory led to the invention of dynamite by Alfred while in Krummel, Germany. He received a patent for dynamite in 1867.

This was only one of 355 different patents that he was awarded.

Long story short, Nobels inventions made him filthy rich. Part of his fortune was a company called Bofors, a major armaments factory located in Sweden. This company was founded some years earlier but the Boofors legacy within the iron industry spanned back to no less than 1646. Nobel owned Bofors for a few year from 1894 to his death in 1896.

Today Nobel's name is associated with high achievement and creative people are honoured with the Nobel prize. Sometimes the prize is controversially awarded such as was the case with the recent judgement of awarding serving US President Obama with the Nobel Peace Award.

The money left behind in trust by Alfred Nobel is the foundation of the Nobel Prize and it was a last will and testament of the inventor of dynamite.

My father invented plywood. Le Marchand de la Mort est mort. Everything is a bit controversial in it's own way. As another US president once said while caught up in controversy, "It depends on the meaning of what is, is."

Inventor William Kelly

Who is the inventor William Kelly ?

The pneumatic process of steelmaking was an invention brought forth by this American ironmaster Kelly and an associate named Bessemer
_______________

August 22, 1811 - February 11, 1888

_______________

In the industrial age this novelty steel was more affordable and was well accepted by builders of bridges, buildings, and other foundations. The years previous to the invention of air infusion into molten metal steelworkers worked mostly with cast iron.

Kelly was born in Pittsburgh. His father owned a foundry. Upon graduating from Metallurgy studies at Western U in Pennsylvania he opts to go into business with his brother and brother in law. They form McShane and Kelly in a warehouse which later burns down.

In 1846 the two brothers purchase a iron working factory in Eddyville and move to Eddyville, Kentucky in 1847. This new company in the iron industry is renamed Kelly & Company and this is where William Kelly begins experimenting with the process of air boiling steel. Henry Bessemer was working on a similar process and beat Kelly to a patent. Another contender for this inventive method of blasting iron into steel was approached by Robert Forester Mushet.

By some accounts Kelly reports that insider information might have brought his secret into the labs of Bessemer.

Regardless, Kelly did receive patent no. 17, 628 in 1857 for an innovative iron industry product which he described as

 " Blowing blast of air, either hot or cold, up or through a mass of liquid iron, the oxygen in the air, combining with the carbon in the iron, causing a greatly increased heat and boiling commotion in the fluid mass and decarbonizing and refining the ore."

This patent was a joint ownership with Bessemer.

Bessemer Steel got the best of the steel industry market but the faith of both parties was not so great.

In 1871 Kelly's patent was renewed by the US Patent Office while the rights of ownership of the two others was rejected.

Kelly sold the patent rights in later years due to financial instabilities. He relocated to Louisville, Kentucky, and went on to work as an ax manufacturer, with interest in real estate and banking.
