LIQUID ARMOR

[blackgriffinxx]

 Robin :holy super silly putty batman they stold your cape plans batman: i know robin i know

[AtrumMixer]

100% safe? Since when is war supposed to be safe? I'm really looking forward to see this new liquid armor. But really, the only thing new armor means is new weapons to pierce the armor.

[LucifersDisciple6]

But the question is how thin ?

[MrFtW2468]

Sweet C.A.B, fricken 3rd id pogs.

[Magnetohydrodynamics]

It is not the kinetic energy that makes the bullet dangerous. It is the massive pressure such a small surface exerts.

[ScientologySucksAss]

WHO ELSE IS TRYING TOO MAKE IT?!

You can get all the chemicals you need off Ebay. We all gatta work together on this! Im gonna mix the SheerThicking Liquid then use Ethanol too dilute it so it can soak into the Kevlar. The original Thickining agent is too thick too soak into the kevlar so you must dilute it with a chemical that has a high evaporation rate such as ethanol. I'm pretty sure a glass bowl with the Thickining agent with Ethanol will do and let the kevlar soak in it for a day or two

[mazda1024]

Imagine you've been shot by paint ball... or airsoft bullet...

[iLoveLampXx]

thats like getting shot by a paintball gun, but with ball bearings.

[Britoe97]

Do you know whats funny? We invent all this shit that can actually help the soldiers that are at war. But we don't use it. I wonder why...

[CyclonicTuna023]

But what if a soldier starts running or jumping? Can you imagine running from the enemy only to be shot because your trousers stiffened up?!

[MrGigglesch3]

I heard that in the future they'll elevate the armor off of their body by 3in thus making the bullet not being able to contact the body.

[SuperSam101011]

extreeeeeme paintballing like bruise

[okuside]

Hmmm, what would happen if they covered the whole person in this, and when the person starts running, the suit just stiffens up and the guy just falls on the ground?

hahah, that'd be really funny.

[TheStiglit]

Or you could just invest in chuck norris sperm

[JDogg22267]

@liopleurodon4000

@burgerthief

Your right i didnt even notice that... can you show me where to get a pellet gun that strong that makes the "pellet" compact when it hits your target.... and where to get the "pellets" that can with hold being shot at such high velocities?.... fucken dumb asses

[TCamGameplays]

METAL GEAR!!!

[KagaKiyomitsu]

@TCamGameplays get a life dude!

[lg123xyz]

Thats no bullet man comon

[roglet123]

get a tank........

[lagerbaer]

And this is why people who call for a cut in science funding are stupid morons.

[topbluffa1]

@lagerbaer

wrong this is why it should be.

because it just goes into the hands of murdering militarily who use it to create armor not to protect themselves but so they can kill people more efficiently without as high chance of getting killed.

[pinhead61187]

@topbluffa1 it's called war, dumbass. it doesn't matter if you like it or not, it happens. hey, BECAUSE of war you get to call soldiers murderers. but, you know what? you're more than welcome to move to a country that doesn't have wars and soldiers. like... ummm... oh yeah, they ALL fight in wars and have soldiers. in some countries, enlistment is MANDATORY. it isn't here.

[Bastiest]

Hmm... Memory alloy as a layer filled with STF could offer almost perfect protection.

[liopleurodon4000]

Their "bullet" was a pellet from a bb gun

[mrmoose33]

their "bullet" was a pellet for a bb gun...

[marineskickass1775]

fuck that the impact would probably pop ur nuts 

[beastlymachop]

butters was fighting

[Donatellangelo]

Restricted I bet. I'll have to find a way around that! >:)

[shotgunshells2]

@ zacke91 you can make the clothes and then treat it with the stuff.

I REALLY want to know, if this is such old news, why the hell it isn't on the front lines?

[zacke91]

how the heck you make clothes if needles cant get thru?

[yrusogoddamnstupid]

@zacke91 I think the key word here is "sudden impact" Unless you attack your clothes like you were fighting for your life with the needle, then you might have a problem. In more ways than one.

[kiwidukey]

shot in the balls lol

[wienyhutjr]

itll never work as it is now. how non-newtonian fluid is now, if its agitated in even the slightest bit, it stiffens up. anything more than just incredibly slow walking would cause it to stiffen.

[killingmesoftly1337]

non nuitonien fluid

[pelamelachilli]

well stopping a bullet from exploding into a million shards in your body is great but i have no problem seeing a knee cap shadered or a rib broken in the process.

[GaolisVideoLog]

Looks like the impact'll break bones nevertheless. At least in the current state.

[Djarcon]

ITS LIKE OOBLEK!

[yorkshirerepresenter]

so you get shot and then cant move to get away or fight back...they could just fro rocks at you till your all stood like statues lol

[Aresftfun]

But they probably wont do it because it costs more money, and most of the presidents are greedy. Dammit. Vote for 3rd parties.

[Sicj]

@Aresftfun Yes!.. Some1 with a BRAIN! I hope for success in your life!

[Aresftfun]

@Sicj Thank you. :)

[TheblankofDeath]

It'll shatter your ribs and spine though, and fracture your skull. Bone shrapnel isn't too great a thing to have in your organs.

[Laneholdenproduction]

I can envision full suits of this Kevlar ceramic liquid compound. That would be amazing. :D

[Alex123McCarthy]

like corn starch and water =D

[ghostrider433]

just use silly putty

[TaxEvasion]

tony stark's iron man suit would still be the best....

[laorjlse]

were shot in the groin.

[GREYFOXEXE]

i think he means like high impact agitation but i could be wrong but in any case if some one was to be shot wile having the liquid armor the shock wave could break bones

[captwasabi]

@GREYFOXEXE True but it's not the broken bones that kill. It's the penetration and damage to soft tissue and internal organs. I'll take a broken bone over a gsw any day of the week. If this is real and not cost-prohibitive it's very interesting.

[GREYFOXEXE]

@captwasabi i agree ill take that broken bone but lets also say that your in the field you dont know how long that it could take for you to get treated

[captwasabi]

@GREYFOXEXE Granted but you can live forever with a broken bone. you can't live forever if your blood is leaking out of you and that's the major difference here. I'll take a borken bone over a sucking chest wound any day. I can probably fashion myself a crutch. Can't really fashion myself a new lung.

[GREYFOXEXE]

@captwasabi touche captwasabi touche

[4515jonny]

well if you get shot with the liquid armor i bet it will bruse you in stade of going throwe becaus the shock wave like shown at part 1:00 caus a bent

[marineninga]

@4515jonny well yeah just Kevlar coated in shear thickening fluid isn't enough! you need some soft padding that will absorb the force. Still going to be some light bruising but better than having fragments of bullets in your torso.

[subiguy121]

WOW...Who can we buy the fluid from...Cheers

[wtfnj]

0:54

[banrysen]

what if you fall over or start running?, sudden agitation turns it into armor then we will have soldiers who look starched

[Hyshinara]

shot in the groin O_O

ouch!

[coldnhot369]

hmm looks interesting...i wonder what happens if you're running...

[tharealscrapz]

@coldnhot369 Or fall...

[rek636]

Bullet?

That is a airgun pellet. No where near the force of the "real thing" maybe 20 foot-pounds of energy.

[EmperorOfMars]

Thats still pretty neat

[sharall]

cool, its newtonian fluids.

[xzaxx]

i wanna see full body armour that covers the hole body with this liquid. than you are 100% safe

[foozbong]

Yeah, ouch, but freakin' cool!

[SHK96]

in the lab video he shoots the material with a pellet gun, not a real gun. a pellet gun is way weaker than a AK or M4 round with a fraction of the mass/velocity and therefore a fraction of the kinetic energy or penetration power.

[joness105639]

Woah, its almost like that molecular bonded shell armor that was on KITT in knight rider

[ApolloZephyre]

thatll still hurt like a bitch.

[qcages]

@ApolloZephyre better than dead...

[blaine1942]

@ApolloZephyre hell that would still kill you from blunt trama it doesnt matter if its in you leg or arm.

[nayr411]

@ApolloZephyre Better than dying...

[JAK3FARR3LL]

@ApolloZephyre now there is a developed prototype armor being researched about in sydney, aus which stops the bullet with the same weight and properties but no deformation ......

[0rmick]

@ApolloZephyre Would you rather a bruise or a hole in your thigh?

[bigslickak90]

@ApolloZephyre i used that and man let me tell you that stuff has saved my ass many times i was hit in the upper thie and yes it left one hell of a mark but i was told that it would have hit a main artory and i probably would have bled out so i owe my life to the makers of this stuff =D

[Grizzlybaer]

@ApolloZephyre atleast you wont fucking die

[iliketha]

alot of people are saying that the bullet whilst not penetrating would still cause massive trauma, breaking bones. This is true but maybe if this armour was used in combination with a trauma-reducing/spreading armour then you would get an effective system

[Justbeatit999]

So if this is so great, what happend to it?

[meperson94]

if you pause at 0:56 it's a pellet, not a bullet.

[FourTwentyGanja]

wow.

[cr4zyw3ld3r]

troy hurtubise's idea of using special foam/gel under plates or in this case under STF treated kevlar would work, b/c then the impact force would absorbed/distributed by the gel

[ShotokanTanto]

That's what the plates do; distribute the force over a wide area. Thin cloth-like armor would not be much protection at all. But could be used as a buffer under the plate to ruduce residual trauma. It's a good idea for research, but not ready to be used.

And if we had a few more people join for a simple 3 year term we could get a lot more recovery time after deploying. It's really bad for the soldiers working now cause kids don't have the nuts to stand up.

[padanus2]

it's an AC diabolo......

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

who cares about the ballistic affect yeah its gunna hurt like a bitch but you have the safety in mind that you dont have a hole in your chest thats 3 inches deep :D

[RKM4entertainment]

yes, but you can always die for internal bleeding... like the knight's, they didn't die for the direct hit of the sword, but the steel didn't assorb the energy and the knight took a hit, wich may cause to break a bone or similar. For me it's a little bit unuseful if not applied in combination with other materials, because it can stop a bullet but it cant assorb enough energy ; )

[TheAENinja]

They would still wear thew chest armor, this would just help stop wounds to the limbs.

[Gwanja1819]

yeah they said it would be applied to the body armour not just by itself

[ExVash]

Exactly. It'll still crack your ribs/fracture a bone/possibly injure an organ, but at least you won't have a piece of lead tearing holes into your body causing massive bleeding.

[meperson94]

no holes, yes but a collapsed sternum will still kill you.

[ezpn]

Well observed.

[dani3lru1z]

the liquid is kind of like oobleck but way better

[Argo108]

then fucking do a test, shoot someone wearing this liquid shit. Until then its talk shit.

[GrayVizard]

I remember when this wa on the news in there area yea you may suffer internal damage but at least you can keep fighting and get to the doctor under your own power

[v10m]

or you could just not join the army...

[charleswilliams09]

your a dumbass

[NolanWhite]

LMAO!!

[gijsoerlemans1992]

@v10m then for who are they gonna make this stuff? :)

[MrChrisMcmahon]

@v10m somebody has to.

[Burntshmallow]

@v10m My point exactly.

[Ronnie51026]

it is either ferrofluid (a liquid that stills while near a magnetic field) or a special non newtonian fluid. great idea.

[TheAnonymouse]

Heh! I actually came up with this idea when I first saw non-Newtonian liquid. Flexible, and strong!

[datzfast]

what would happen if you separate the layers while bonded to styrofoam. wouldn't that protect against the ballistic effect? i am thinking of how space capsule are protected from micrometeorites

[martian712]

well good for showing off thoughts for armour, but that doesnt move, the idea is to cover the area, but leave it flexible. the only problem is after the danger it is still rigid

[IvektFromMoldova]

Haha. Careful when you hug a soldier next.

"SOFTER! HUG SOFT--can't. move. arms."

[dirtypornflick]

current sapi inserts are made pressed specrta fibre behind  a alumina or silica carbide which is necessary to stop armor piercing bullets

[bboyKlappa]

hmm maybe it might withstand pistol and other several weapons, but i htink dragonarmor is much more better even though it cost 600 more then interceptor body armor

[DaedricLavaWhiskey]

they debunked it its not so.... bullet proof as one might think.

[pshret]

That's absolutely right Askanio. I've done alot of armor research as of late, and from what I see of this, the cloth may stop penetrating wound to the area applied, but as you can see in the ballistics test shown here, it does little to actually absorb the force of impact.

But this technology, coupled with other types of armor, may do wonders to save life and limb.

[ManintheArmor]

Interesting armor... but I doubt it'll work.

Armor can't just take a bullet. It must endure further shots, reduce blunt trauma, and withstand the elements. It must operate in water, oil, hot, cold, flame, extreme temperature changes, as well as stop minor threats. At the same time, it must be light enough to allow someone to run (maybe) 15mph for at least 10 secs, as well as be cost effective (less than 2000$).

No armor meets all these standards, but ya gotta start somewhere. =/

[madpaintbalerx]

The point of this armor is to be used with regular body armor. It will likely be used to protect the arms and legs while regular kevlar and ceramic plate armor protects the torso.

[smasher2256]

Mythbusters tried this. Except they used non-newtonian fluid :S

[datzfast]

has anyone fired a bullet into magnetic fluid to see what happens?

[charleswilliams09]

the bullet expolodes

[cas343]

I am not sure if this would do anything about blunt trauma. That is the main concern.

[pteppig]

what do you prefer - blunt trauma or a sucking hole, losing blood and possibly shock ?

[cas343]

Neither hopefully.

[annihilationnegitive]

the first thing to over come would be stopping the bullet, second would be reducing the blunt trauma. a bruise or broken bone is better than a hole...once inside the body a bullet can unleash unknown amounts of damage that make a broken bone seem like a sunny day on the beach.

[RoarDaemon]

True, especially if its a boatail.

[metalicalol]

So true mate, so true :)

[adrenalinejunkie436]

nice for paintball atleast

[lllunatix]

you enemy can sneak behind you and slice you with a knife very slowly to get thru it :)

[deltaalpha21074]

yes the gell armor works sometimes but too all those my age around 35 years old remember MR.Squishy the rubber monsters sold around 1970s? yeah hit that sucker with your fist hard as a rock but about as Heavy as LEAD..won't work.

[roperboy1]

yeah but shoot it with a m16, ak47, .308. ect. i bet the bullets will pass rite throu

[seriouskunk]

the whole point is that they dont... thats the whole video in a nut shell

[cr4zyj4ck]

The bullet in the lab test is from a pellet gun...

[rolthox]

Yeah it is. Wtf.

[Foagik]

It's most likely that gel that resists stabbing ( Used in the new Anti-Stab Bullet Proof Vests ) .

[Jkouw]

you mean dragon skin?

[adrastea99]

>:(

[EnhancedNightmare]

They could imcorporate it with just plain uniforms because its so light and flexible. In such case there still would be trusty incerceptor + this liquid armor on sleeves and usualy unprotected parts. It might help against being stabbed or reduce the damage from fire arms (though I doubt that small layer would protect you from assault rifle fire).

[riseld4]

Nothing is perfect. The disadvantage to this armor is when your enemies start developing similar things and im not talking about countries like afghanistan. Im talking more about countries like russia

[DemonicWingAngel]

I don't know, it doesn't sound that stable to me. They may want to make like, a stronger substance before even using it.

[lnknprkfn213]

haha thatd be good, but DAMN thatd still hurt like hell

[mrsmith427]

kinda like masterchief in halo...he has some kinda gel in his armor to absorb impact or whatever lol kinda wierd i know

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

i want this.

[snapedubitch]

It's so cool! Russians have got the same thing

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

prove it!

[phdecora]

so does it work or not? how much does it cost?

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

oh it works alright. i guess u got to be high ranking in the gov to buy this shit.

[phdecora]

how do you know

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

go on email the site and ask to buy this then. :)

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

lame

[slasher667]

or, make it yourself.

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

HOW?????? Man if I did this, who would test it out? Hey you offered! :) lol

[slasher667]

yourself...or a small child...and yea, cornstarch and water to get the general idea, some type of acetate and silica for that white liquidy stuff.

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

man u said cornstarch and water lollllllllll yeah dude.

[slasher667]

basically yea, its a good example of the principle

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

they use something else. i'd love to buy that stuff.

[nibbler125]

goddammit butters you dont shoot people in the dick!!

[Jordyjg]

thank you good sir

[abdulrahman1992]

i know a way where you will never be shot at?? no war maybe??

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

Why not just get a suite from Wayne Int. From BATMAN! :) All you fucken need. :)

[counterkilla92893]

but with this ul break a bone

[TheRealOneEye]

and you won't with just a Kevlar vest?

[FlippinHolmesBros]

Any one else notice that test was done with an air rifle pellet lol

[hollowinichigo]

now just combine this with the dragon skin armor and the trojan armor and you have got one sick piece of body armor

[ihateforigners]

Whats trojan armour?

[GUDT]

some redneck made some hella resistence rubber(not sure what to call it) and that stuff can resist fire arms, IED's and other fun stuff!

[ihateforigners]

lol

[Tehetti17]

no his other armor protected from bears, but troys now protects form grenades partially, bullets, and knives for close combat

[0384161]

sounds like the future to me

[Samcor8871]

Then it is only a matter of time before liguid armor piercing rounds are "developed".

[yummycars]

who shoots a guy in the dick. cmon now.

[Z8nate]

If one gets shot in the leg would this special material stiffen up so one could not move inside it? Or is the liquid fluid except during impact? Also, unless one is wearing an armor plated cup, a shot to the groin will still make someone a castrati.

[slasher667]

when the force dissipates it loosens back up.

[KamikazeSOF2]

Armor is not simply rated on how it stops bullets but also how much deformation is caused by the impact. Even a 9mm shot in the something that thin would probably kill the person wearing it, even without it penetrating. A shot to the chest and would break your ribs/sternum and possible rupture your heart. Good concept, just not it.

[daiceyl]

Not at all. The beauty of this is that it spread the impact over a large area and dissapates the kinetic effect, along with the factor of different thicknesses of the liquid over different parts of the body.

[GritYT]

yea, but this special kevlar could possibly be added to a ski mask... then you will NEVER get the golden guns in Call of Duty 4! lol

[AliBoomia]

aim for the head ?

[00iCrazy00]

Most of the scenes were on Cool Stuff: How do they do it(I think it is that show)

on the science channel

[deadreckoning185]

So say you trip or need to dive for cover or something. Would the impact be enough to cause the material to stiffen then? If so, now you're really boned...

[SAPromaster]

Non Newtonian Liquid FTW!!!

[zachy12341]

it may stop a bullet, but that impact will hurt like hell!

[Harregarre]

Honestly, do you think the impact will not hurt if you're wearing no armor at all? I don't know about you but I'd prefer to be hit while wearing armor. :P

[monobrowlord]

well yeah...but think about it, what hurts more, a bullet impact but no penetration into the skin or the bullet tearing through all your muscle and flesh, this isn't supposed to replace armor, just protect the areas that armor can't

[pacman5415]

ARMOR U CAN MAKE AT HOME

[narutofan2112]

It's Ooblek!
