Metaklett-Steel Velcro
This new material, made of steel and fashioned like Velcro can withstand lifting a laden truck. All it needs is a square meter of it to lift a 30 ton truck, and because it is made of steel, it is able to withstand up to 800 degrees Celsius. Its principal is just like Velcro, but made of steel strips that have the ability to stick to each other. Produced by a German firm of the same name, it comes in three forms to suit various requirements. It was designed primarily for building, aeronautics and automotive uses. But there is no telling as to the number of uses this material will be used for.
