Aerolites

Silicon is present in the sun and stars and is a principal component of a class of meteorites known as aerolites. It is also a component of tektites, a natural glass of uncertain origin.

Those who have imagined that it was formed in the air principle of hard bodies such as aerolites, have been mistaken, if they have regarded them as terrestrial bodies. It is a substance which belongs to the gross element of Water a fat, viscous humour, enclosed in the clouds as in a furnace, where it condensed and mixed with the sulphurous exhalations, which are warm and very inflammable. The air, which is too much compressed by this condensation, is rarefied by heat, and produces the same effect as gunpowder in a bomb the vessel breaks, the fire diffused in the air, freed from its bonds by this movement, produces that light and noise, which often startle the most intrepid. 

Meteorites consisting mainly of metallic iron alloyed with nickel are termed siderites. Siderolites differ from the above in contaimng stony matter as well as native metal. Aerolites consist essentially of stony matter. 

Small Black Sterile Stones, similar in form and colour to Black Aerolites. When melted with White Lead Stones, that which remains becomes hard, and is marked with spots. 

Silicon has been detected in the sun and stars. It also occurs in certain types of meteorites known as aerolites or stony meteorites. Meteorites are rock-like chunks that fall to Earth s surface from outside Earth s atmosphere.

Silicon is present in the sun and stars, and is a principal component of a class of meteorites known as aerolites. It is also a component of tektites, a natural glass of uncertain origin. Silicon makes up 25.7% of the earth s crust, by weight, and is the second most-abundant element, exceeded only by oxygen. Silicon is not found free... 

Tellurium is a sort of scattered rare element on the Earth. Its concentration is very low in the Earth s crust, only 1.0 ng/g. However, it is in extremely high abundance in Co-rich crusts, marine polymetallic nodules, deep-sea sediments, and aerolites. The extreme enrichment of tellurium in deep-sea sediments, like helium isotope anomalies, probably results from the input of interplanetary dust particles (IDPs). Similarly, the extreme enrichment of tellurium in marine polymetallic nodules and Co-rich crusts is possibly related to IDPs.

The most significant revolution in bonding wooden aircraft structures occurred with the introduction of adhesives based on U/F resins. Although the basic resin had been patented in 1920, it was not until 1937 that adhesives based on this chemistry were produced by BASF in Germany and Aero Research Limited at Duxford in the UK (Aerolite range). Such was their impact that they were in significant commercial production before the outbreak of the Second World War.
