Liquid Stone?

The way science is moving forward who knows what they could have in 10 or 20 years from now?

'LIQUID STONE' IS A BRIGHT IDEA

It used to be only Superman who could see through concrete walls, but an exhibit at the National Building Museum shows mere mortals can do it, too.

Sorry JB, I tried viewing that link but the page could not be found. Maybe I'll try later. Yes, it is very interesting what modern science and technology has been able to provide for us these days. Just take a look at the cool forum we have to read and post too every day

Sorry, it should work now. From the above linked article:

"The translucent blocks are made by mixing glass fibers into the combination of crushed stone, cement and water, varying a process that has been used for centuries to produce a versatile building material. The process was devised by Hungarian architect Aron Losonczi in 2001."

Wow, that was an interesting article! I especially liked the points about the new hybrid concrete formulas being stronger and more flexible. Imagine how using this as a building material could help folks living in earth quake prove areas!

I would love to have that, as the article said, a sidewalk or even a patio that could be lit from below. An outdoor dance floor. Swimming pools. I love Modern Technology

Liquid Stone?

That is so cool! I agree with FarSeer, you could make a stunning dance floor with that stuff. Wow, just wow, I hope it catches on. I would love to see some of the sculptures that artists would make with it.

I think the best thing I took away from this is the possibility of not having to endure another summer of road construction! Out were I live, off a main interstate, they replace the highway every three years. If they were to use some of these new hybrid concretes, they would be able to avoid it because they could make concrete roads that won't crack and sink! Not only would this save tax dollars, it would make drivers much happier. I think I saw one of the new types of concrete that also absorb emissions and put out oxygen. Concrete that cleans the air? Wow!

I've worked in construction and I think this is awesome, unfortunately it is probably extremely expensive to purchase. If not, then where can I buy it?
