Amazing material - Soft Armour Part II

[Prometheus3052]

NTU material science masters students?? non-newtonian stuff is pretty fascinating

[095291010]

What is the cost of this? Is there anywhere to get some?

[nanargooberblat]

Of course asians made it!

[TheFucktardTV]

How is it made? It obbviously is a shear thickening compound with an elastic component. Please respond as I am currently designing some armor and this could be useful as a d3o substitute.

[nerfiscool11]

THIS IS GOING TO BE MASS PRODUCED THAT STUFF IS AWESOME

[tdrobar]

lots of would be super heoroes out there

[dsmdeegen]

Would love to see some tests against bigger rounds`

Thumbs me up so he makes some more tests!!!!!

[saravananuk2010]

Hi how do i buy this material?

[eclipse561]

so where can I get this stuff?

[Wakuiz]

Awesome. I read your news on straits times today. Good work guys. 

[jabbaboy]

You raised a good piont SeniorFronche.

A)But the point of the demo is not to compare with kevlar. Kevlar is an excellent material for ballistic protection. Our point is to show how much more added protection this material can provide when used together with Kevlar.

B)It is also well known that kevlar ballistic vest (which does not contain resin) is not very stab resistant.

Please see my other video for more demos. cheers. and thank you for your comment. More comments welcomed

[SeniorFronche]

ummm the comparison tests with the kevlar are bullshit because..

A) they werent using ballistic grade kevlar, because you wouldnt be able to see the weave.

B) there was no fucking resin! you need a resin matrix to add strength and rigidity, it wouldve passed the stab test easily

[jabbaboy]

check my videos for other properties of the material

[jsslayerx]

.. ok so, what gives.. you gonna give us a name or a price that it's available at (per cube, ie)..

[jabbaboy]

@jsslayerx

Hi! it is pretty cheap if you are interested :)

For you, I'd give a discount!

@jabbaboy

Hello Jabbaboy!

I was hoping that you could give me an idea of how much you charge for this material, I would love to get my hands on some. (And I don't think I'm the only one)

[bibabilouba]

hum interesting....

[santee86]

What's the name of this amazing material??

[jabbaboy]

@santee86

it is a shear thickening composite.

[lynn12100]

Totally cool! Is it based on shear thickening fluid behavior? What is the areal density (lb/ft2 or oz/yd2 or g/m2)?

[jabbaboy]

@lynn12100

hi! yes it is STF based. it is about 5kg / m2. the material is light weight and floats on water

[velanstiz]

Is zero blunt trauma a good thing? If you don't feel *something* when you get shot, won't you react too slow as well? Just curious...

[jabbaboy]

haha..good point. But I am sure when bullets are zooming past, you'd know.

[hand2handc]

you will feel something like a push, but more concentrated on one spot.

[normanlimcs]

One more tip, the Twaron used, I presume is CT709, should have coagulating stitching to maximise energy transfer during a ballistic impact. With that, you can really tell the difference. Also, if the areal density goes anywhere above 7kg per sq m, like most cheaper vests, soldiers are reluctant to put on any more weight. What is the weight of the material for 30% reduction of trauma for an area of 0.34 sq meters?

[jabbaboy]

Thanks for the advice Norman! Frankly, you are our inspiration! :)

We will work out the weight of the material for 30% reducation of trauma. Hopefully we can work together in the future!

[normanlimcs]

Does not look like discontinuous Non Newtonian behavior. Can be done with anistropic type of crystaline material in a carrier gel to get shear thickening properties. Would be interesting to see its areal density for backing material for Mag 44, DM11 and ICW level III plate. Well done boys.

[jabbaboy]

Hi Norman! Would that be silica nanoparticles in Polyethylene Glycol? Or are there other kinds of crystalline material in gel system? It'd be great if you can advice us. Thank you!!!

[cheongsoontiong]

The army and the police force should be very interested in this. Zero blunt trauma with a soft pad is great! It means that even when you are shot, you can respond quickly because you won't feel any pain! cool!

[jabbaboy]

Zero blunt trauma means that person wearing the pad with ballistic vest will feel almost nothing at all when hit by a bullet.

[horlesi]

How do you do that??? It's amazing!!!

[deonlai]

Wow! flexible, stab resistant and no blunt trauma!? imagine wearing a suit like that! superman!
