Liquid Armor

[Vaioleto]

So basically it's a fancier water + starch.

[blueman912]

tough....like ceramic...

yet juicy.....LIKE A LIQUID!

[Zazziness]

Lies. That vial is filled with the semen of Chuck Norris.

[Shyguy419]

unless you get stabbed in the head

[DeathGhost809]

woooww, although the arrow left like a hole mark in the armor but it proves its amazing, i wonder this stands againest a 45 colt bullet

[Rockmahsocksoff]

What if someone slowly stabs you? that the knife would slide in?

[thecleaner084]

cornflour and water... do it, try it out, youtube it, old technology with new ingredients

[themesteryphantom]

potato flower and water ?

[mistbooster]

but doesnt that still let you push the damn shank through? i mean, instead of quick stabs, they now do 1-2 well placed pushes, through the damn expensive fancy uniform O_O

[Ltb0b]

how about starch with water :D

[BrandonBlaze904]

ok how did you make this..... faces away with my semen......

[DudeTheFamous]

with Kevlar gloves, idk about the syringe thing. I was talking to my training teacher and he recommended the Kevlar gloves. said he has never been poked by a needle in his time. retired 2 years ago

[JONT3pro]

but shouldnt it make a forse going onto the body? like if you have that "armour" an and get shot in the breast could that make like a fracture?

[cplai]

@JONT3pro This won't protect the wearer from bruises (i.e. internal bleeding) and broken bones etc. So internal injury is still a concern. But the impact will be distributed over a much larger area compared to the original point of entry, that may make a difference between life and death.

[CrimsonRGU]

@cplai if you get the soaked fabric and tighten it, wouldnt it stop bullets without making dents?

[caguko]

i hope he has his knees covered. 

[mrbr549]

This is quite an interesting innovation! But I'm sure it will be costly for taxpayers, and I doubt it deters criminals as much as they say, as the criminals will just use the shivs on a more exposed area of the body, like say, a guard's throat or head for instance.

[willowbillow1]

wow semen useful in more ways than you think

[XIOUH]

Is this the same formula that the British company is working on, BAE?

It seems the British have devised the concept and first working versions of 'Liquid Armour', but BAE never intended it to stop knifes, only bullets, which was proven to be more effective than pure Kevlar. I wonder if the Brits have shared the knowledge with the US, and the US has engineered a knife proof version to it.

See, thats why this alliance is good, both benefit from it heh

[cplai]

@XIOUH Don't know the answer to your questions. But BAE does not only work for the

British government. There is a huge division of BAE in Silicon Valley. So I don't think those US citizens working for BAE on US soil is developing projecst for British government. I am sure some BAE divisions in Britain will do secret military projects by their own Brits only teams.

[XIOUH]

@cplai Ah sorry, I didn't mean the US was working on it for the British ^_^ I just meant I'd read somewhere the British division of BAE developed some form of 'Liquid Armour'. I'd assumed the information had been shared with the US, but you've cleared that up :)

(I didn't know BAE was in both countries. My mistake)

[cplai]

@XIOUH If you go to maps dot google dot com and then search for "BAE Systems, San Jose, CA", you will see that they have multiple campuses in Silicon valley. Those employees are US citizens. It is smart to tap onto the talents in one of the most brainiac locations in the world. But I would think any secret weapons developed for 007 would be developed exclusively in BAE's homeland.

[5SmashFever]

Why use a ruler in a maximum/high security prison?

[mindsoulbody]

I like it when they start talking about new stuff for safety but then say, ''you MAY have the answer". That ''May" is a word that, in real world, can mean from months to years and also depend on budgets and other shit. LOL They MAY get it. We MAY have it. We MAY achieve it. Yeah, I MAY take a dump soon too. -_-

[gxbmb]

looks like sperm.... wonder how they made it LOL

[ChiangMoney]

will it blend?

[SHEIKHD7]

This has similar properties to corn starch and water! Why not use just that..? Would be cheaper =p

[cplai]

@SHEIKHD7 I bet the special formula is stronger than corn starch or it last may longer.

[SpeedWeakness]

3:08 Oh crap he had the wrong bottle! No glue in that one -_-

[8TheManWithNoName8]

50BMG === ULTIMATE TEST

[vd199]

now they know to stab slowly lol

[rzwehbe]

Thought of this when I was 6 years old believe it or not after science project involving that starch based non Newtonian fluid.

[hantos1]

its jizz

[Theotherone12321]

couldnt you make kevlar piercing rounds using the same principle?

[squat224]

@Theotherone12321 they are, well most. levels 2 and 3 are just kevlar, these offer little to no resistance to say a rifle bullet (even subsonic) due to the pointy-ness but round bullets (most all pistol rounds) are stopped. thats why the military/swat use ceramic and steel plates.

[monsterhunter310]

Yes like cornstarch it is a non-Newtonian liquid

[ElHasZardo]

like cornstarch

[04barnetta]

it make stop the weapon from passing through, but it could still cause blunt force or with enough force could pierce the skin. even though anything is better than taking a shank

[AZURA888]

What's does there my semen!.

[MrJoshuabaty]

Gingervention yes it can

[DemoraX]

if only i'd had this stuff lacing my pants back in my adventuring days!

[MrKylemu1000]

were fighting people with arrows?

[ineedaname0608]

so they should make sharp bullets and totally void most body amour out there right?

[dumdum212]

It looks like cum.

[evil001987]

What amazes me is that the inmates always manages to get weapons inside...

[BENITEZ1231000]

sprem



[TronCatKTA]

@BENITEZ1231000 yep, sprem all the way

[Gingervention]

can it with stand a razor blade slash?

[tarziq]

would this be also applicable w/ ballistics too?

[sk8starr2000]

Cool

[spartan1010101]

so how about a serrated blade?

[RiverVaJJ]

That would still hurt like hell.

[CoryM1000]

@RiverVaJJ Hurting is better than dead. Dead doesn't wear off quite the same way as pain does.

[PykohYT]

:notbad:

[daestathsh]

Kinda just looks like a vial of jizz, really.

[Gingervention]

@daestathsh are you born in 1955?

its cum to you oldtimers

really? jizz

get a life disco lover

[daestathsh]

@Gingervention Fuk u youngin', get off mah lawn or I'll grab da ol' double-barrel!

The disco times were the best!

[madmandan5]

this stuff is like chainmail armor, if you get hit by something sharp it wont pierce your skin but it might break or crack a bone

[TouchMaMunky]

ok so stab slowly?

[shazeebmw]

hey look semen lmao

[goldrobo14]

That would still hurt like hell.

[LOL64431]

it's also bulletproof right?

[TheArcher1276]

Remember the beginning shield practice in the movie "Dune", when Gurney Haleck tells Paul "the slow blade penetrates the shield"? Way ahead of it's time.... :)

[NorthWolfs]

So, your the one who shot the arrow in my knee...

[11kungfu11]

wholly fuck that kevlar is useless lol. plate it on ceramic scales?

[MrBong420swed]

of* 

[MrBong420swed]

its like the chuck Norris version or corn starch and water ...

[johnmabbott]

I made a form of this 25 years ago, using corn starch, the problem was then holding it in suspension, and bonding it to a material!

kevlar was not available in the 1980, when i had the idea after watching a childrens british tv program, (how do they do that) they tried to punch things through corn starch soloution.

Bonding it to materials is the difficult part.

[thesickandwounded]

sooo, Y U NO APPLY?!

[KalebOverby]

That super strong glue ..is my semen

[TheJazz2002]

it's kinda like mithril..

[devinwalker47]

i have a kevlar vest i have stabbed and thrown spears at it and it stops them easy

[alixz777]

wlw can u cast this stuff

[Marcownz747]

I just want to comment on the bow section. They say "steel tipped hunting arrow". That's a field tip... NOT for hunting. That's for shooting at targets for practice, so you don't have to ruin your hunting tips. Hunting tips have razor blades on them and come to a point... field tips are single-points that you'd have a difficult time killing almost anything with.

[AtrumMixer]

So its fake? How disappointing.

[Phuild]

Its just semen.

[menio69]

@Phuild "Its just Chuck Norris semen."

Fixed

[sora831992]

custard does the same thing xD

[Team6OWG]

So this + dragon skin = Best body armour ever?

[madman2u]

This is truly amazing, how many lives we can save. Liked the part where it can be used for gloves to avoid getting hurt by needles or similar, would be great if you works as a garbageman, as a police or even at a hospital. I might have to learn more about this now :)

[forramelagalleta]

The best thing is that is not a single use like the armour plates.

[poptarts0000]

corn starch + water = this stuff

[Ident1ty08]

that is NOT glue!

[Benjaminacevedo0724]

when chuck noris dies his skin will be my amour because his skin can stop missles

[AtrumMixer]

It looks promising, and I'm confident it will protect me from taking an arrow to the knee.

But will it protect me from Chuck Norris? I am namely planning to join the forces of Evil.

[meekbull]

@AtrumMixer No, He would penetrate this liquid armor with his finger.

[j0hnxjxrambo]

They got that idea from the movie "Blankman" lol.......

[46723565105]

can it still stop a bullet?

[zeromaster212]

@46723565105 that's the kevlar's job

[rexboy6]

1 word: glue

[Grawr93XD]

newtonian fluid!

[cplai]

@Grawr93XD it is non-newtonian fluid.

[Domspun]

@cplai like cornstarch in water!

[tbfateless]

now use a broad head arrow.

[skullking7890]

so what happens if you stab them slowly

[PhiloThinker]

batman?

[letsgetverydrunk]

they always used a sturdy wood basis, i would like to see it if it was on ballistics gelatin. what would be the effect on the gelatin in that arrow test?

[nuthouseproductz]

Now shoot it!

[RandomPsychic]

LMAO so semen inside of kevlar can stop arrows...

[PERTORAMA]

@RandomPsychic i guess seaman can

[1309badboy]

INSTEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT TAXING US THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT NOW and spending our cash on stupid crap they need to help out the dam community and this can help ALOT especially OVERSEAS

[ownedbystealth]

Is

[ownedbystealth]

@CJL1290 thats what the kevlar us for

[kentarros]

they need to use this in cars, highway barriers etc to help save even more lifes.

[dafunapple]

It's like ketchup... but it can stop a knife

[CANEPA13]

those shanks aren't on display for everyone to see, right? We don't want to give anyone ideas!

[CJL1290]

The Liquid Armor hardens when something strikes it really fast, but if you take a knife & apply pressure really slowly, will it eventually penetrate?

[vtec18c]

is there a chance i can get on of these?

[BliizardLiizard]

That "super strong goo" is really horse semen.

[TheOnlyMunchkinSoup]

Am i the only one who thinks it looks like cum?

[scifregizmoguy]

7:30 the scientist looks like he's found his new best friend

[peicewetan]

why the hell didnt they shoot it with a bullet

[UKCrackfox]

SHIT is that Booker T ?

[runisunke]

BF3 quick melee

[delavega92]

so we have to stab the guard slowly?

[SPACEDMADNESS42]

@delavega92 lmao

[imnvincible]

SEMEN IS BULLETPROOF!

[utube2603]

Reminds me of Dairy Queen Blizzard treats 4:50

[FireBrand975]

Not that this is a real world test but I want to see him use a broad-head arrow instead! Also what if you use a dagger and push slowly rather than a fast stab?

[MetallicaMan16]

@FireBrand975

if you let someone slowly put a dagger into you youre retarded

[DantheAuthor]

so what would happen if they shot an arrow at kevlar body armor - instead of one thin sheet? THEN do the same thing with several layers of kevlar with STF! :D

ps. make an "updated" version so the abreviation is STFU!!

[BreakingBenFan666]

3:03 This super strong gue is called: cum.

[Itzkurlydamayne]

it looks like cum

[punteroism]

You could make beast armor if you take Pinnacles Dragon skin armor, which seems relatively impervious to small arms fire, and then you treat the cover fabric with liquid armor you would be stab proof. Infact you wouldnt get personal injury when considering that the impact distribution of dragon skin would stop the pressure that would cause inter injury, when in combination with liquid armors ability to keep fabric togethor.

[ZEDRICK359]

man I love this new Tech.. I wonder if they place in front the type of cloth that breaks bullet apart and distribute the force of impact wider, that way you wouldn't get serious internal injury.. (Just my Idea)

[thebouboule101]

THAT WOULD HURT LIKE SHIT!!!! you would have internal bleeding and shit a huge ass bruise.. but yeah at least it would not pierce ur stomach or what ever...

[prboy931]

How can i make or buy this? I am batman...

[cplai]

@prboy931 Bruce Wayne knows how to make his own armors!

[brom39]

@prboy931

[jamaicanidentity]

@prboy931 corn starch mixed with water is a shear thickening fluid

[Anthrawn]

so why is military grade body armor not good enough for cops? They need to be free to react in emergencies? Since when did cops get into combat that is more intense than military personnel, or get in more dire emergencies? If its good enough for Military it should be good enough for cops. I think they cant handle carrying the extra weight. too many donuts :O

[koffeekage]

this would be great for shrapnel.

[Termi87ITA]

Can this fluid create at home? lol... peg it's not a problem, but SiO2 nanoparticles i think it is

[jessesnowden]

just like corn starch and water. well.....not really.

[str8out]

Unless the guards wear this to the point of looking like ninjas. This is completely useless for this purpose. Once the attacker knows about this, he'll just aim for the head and neck. That's no rocket science.

[Termi87ITA]

@str8out The probability of fatal injury will decrease drastically if u have to protect only neck and head...

[str8out]

@Termi87ITA How more fatal than being stabbed in the neck or the head for that matter? You need to know how the prison environment works, you obviously don't know. Inmates have waaay to much time in their hands to come up with ways of defeating the system. If they want to surprise a guard by the time he reacts, he'll have 3 inches of that shank in his neck.

[Jiinxed4you]

Looks like jizz....

[bonevale1994]

...should be available in Grand Theft Auto 5.

[dontwhine1]

well if u get stab it well still hurt like shit

[KILLERThreeSixNine]

armour in a bottle? looks like horse jizz to me.

[WildBuck007]

This + Dragon Skin = Have a bad day. But live to the next ;D

[hhdivil]

"how did you make this?"

*giggle*

[CupOfRainbows]

Push that rod in there real slowly... that what she said.

[championonwheels]

Looks like they are going to have to slow down their bullets to kill us now.

[thynaruto]

can someone tell me the name of the material to make it? I mean the liquid and the solid powder. I cant hear what the guy said. Plz tell me ...thx

[WirlWind494]

@thynaruto Silica powder and Polyethelene Glycol

[yohanbab]

so its doesn't absorb the shock, just stop it from going in,. just like a punch to the face . so you are still receiving damage.

[WildBuck007]

How'd you make this?

Well. You see. We ended up hiring Chuck Norris and we gave him a bunch of naked ladies and.....

XD

[sn0m0ns]

why are they using practice tips on the arrow?

[smokingbandit67]

they are using a dull ended 'spike'. hardly a spike.

[antisound1]

isnt silica in fine powder form cancerous?

[EndureFocusEngageDie]

03:03 my cum

[Flicktd123]

what it really is is chuck norris's cum.

[ninjasixsixsix]

I would test a broadhead instead of field tip on the arrow to conclude the test

[iluvsaphira9]

So why not just stab a person wearing this stuff a little more slowly? It's non-newtonic; All you have to do is push the blade with a little less force to begin with.

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

@iluvsaphira9 yeah that would work but i don't think someone who's gonna stab someone is going to be that cool headed.

[GTMustangRider]

This, "Liquid Armor", is composed of polyethylene glycol and silica(glass) particles. The only drawback is, polyethylene glycol is water soluble so, if you sweat excessively or if it rains while you're wearing this, "Liquid Armor treated material", it weakens substantially. Also, if you wash the treated material is loses its strength. The regular ballistics armor material has to be repeatedly treated with the, "liquid armor". Unless the engineers create a hydrophobic version of liquid armor.

[gwgn02]

@GTMustangRider No actually any clothing would use a barrier material to prevent any contact from both body, and exterior moisture. Any field clothing could have replaceable barrier material that is washable, while the kevlar/sheer thickening barrier layer would remain un-adulterated by washing.

[johnnied1991]

so only fast things get stopped by it???? Technology has finally caught up with Dune...

"The slow blade penetrates the shield...."

[stabnshoot]

@johnnied1991 didn't you see the part at 5:16? clearly even slow things do not penetrate it.

[ChrisTheBruteSniper]

"possesion of a ruler"

oh no what will we do? i

[titodelibero]

It's God's Sperm!!! O.O

[Gozaburo1]

so i guess enemies of people wearing this armour need to stab slowwwly

[ravviking]

its stab-proof, but is it cutting-proof?

[dharmanova]

!Ridiculous! This is not a hunting arrow tip - this is a training tip meant only for penetrating cork targets.

I am into archery for many years, so I know what i am talking about. This tip will not kill a bear. To kill serious game you need a far narrower single point or razor slant tip. Perhaps this wonder material can stop a real hunting tip but this "experiment" did nothing to demonstrate that.

I still doubt that it would stop say a crossbow dart with a real hunting tip.

[halfassedfart]

@dharmanova I got the impression that they were referring to the bow's power with that statement.

[dharmanova]

@halfassedfart They may well have been. But my point is this: In the 2nd part of experiment empiricism is flying out the window. If one is to demonstrate how this material protects its owner in a real-life situation, one should actually use razor-sharp hunting tips with far greater penetration capability meant for killing large prey (or a human) . I assume the material is not to be utilized as personal protection against a stray arrow in an archery range :-))

[NoiselessJoe]

I know what to get when i go to the city...

[totokickbutt]

OK there is A PROBLEM i magine ureself with a shirt of that on u n u get stabed

but the tissue is not tight at all its loose so even if it wont cut it will empale you....

[cplai]

@totokickbutt It probably will give your a bruise or internal injury, but you get a better chance of survival.

[toob247]

@totokickbutt at least now when you do the number one thing when your attacked , which is put your arm up you wont get slashed defending yourself. +1 good guys
