d3o™ is rate-sensitive meaning that when moved slowly,
the molecules flow freely making it soft and flexible. At high
speeds howeverlike in an impactthe molecules lock
together making the material an excellent shock absorber.
The whole process is repeatable, occurs instantly and
returns to its original state as soon as the impact is over.

What is it? is it toxic? when you buy the jacket is it liquid?
We get a lot of questions on our blog and by email so I'm answering them as best I can here. The stuff is pretty cool, its being sold to the US army now and its inside all the Armadillo jackets we now distribute that you can find at http://www.mrp-speed.com

This stuff is amazing! Soft and malleable when touched gently, but instantly hardens when struck with force. Perfect combination for motorcycle jacket armor. The d3o armor is featured in Armadillos Jacket line. http://www.armadilloscooterwear.com or http://www.mrp-speed.com

d3o™ Intelligent Shock Absorption™ is a patented, shock absorbing material, engineered with Intelligent Molecules. d3o™ is rate-sensitive meaning that when moved slowly, the molecules flow freely making it soft and flexible. At high speeds howeverlike in an impactthe molecules lock together making the material an excellent shock absorber. The whole process is repeatable, occurs instantly and returns to its original state as soon as the impact is over.

d3o™ is also extremely low profile and integrates seamlessly into garments, so neither style or function has to be compromised. These qualities make it perfect for any application where you need total freedom of movement and excellent shock absorption.

  • this remind me of portal 2

  • Not cornstartch or corn

  • so its like corn starch

  • @deathnote667 More like Corn Syrup

  • What about some specs?...

    Like if a 1x1 sq inch 1 pound hammer hits it at X ft/sec how thick would it have to be to stop it from... maybe breaking a glass that breaks at X force (thats beneath the D30)? and of course some comparations with playdoh and the like...

  • @badillin Who knows, Ive hit people with the jackets on and it does work

  • where can i get one

  • that is so cool o.o

  • 1 gram of Polyethylene glycol to every 3 grams of Silicon the silicon must be in a extremely powdered form mix (no heat is necessary and you will have yourself D30 which is a non-newtonian fluid. you welcome :D

  • This looks like it'll slow down the troops. I mean they have to bend left right, up down all the time with their torso and if this material doesn't bend fast enough with their body movements it'll add unnecessary resistance.. Unlike Kevlar that is free moving at any speed..

  • where did u get it??

  • hahahaha at 1:22 the guys is fingering

  • so would this work against a bullet?

  • Just sell the putty.

  • Non newtonian fluid. For an example you can make at home, mix corn starch and water, and watch the amazing. I'm guessing it's a similar principle.

  • Bullet proof?
