where do u buy d30?

[the26thhour]

they need to incorporate this into ALL men's underwear

[howitzerm777]

no newtonian polimer?

[CAPTAINENERGYZ]

i swear its just thinking putty bt the changed the name and colour

What the millitary wants fron D3o is weight savings. Replacing the existing padding in the under layers of body armour with equilalent shock absorbtion for a third of the weight.

Being thinner, flexable, fireproof and stable from -40DegC to 120DegC are just a bonus.

Other more minor Military applications considered so far are lighter kneepads. Lightweight flexable protection in elbows and knees of fatigues to reduce minor injuries.

Weight is a great problem for the modern combat soldier.

it seems it kinda work like the non newtonia fluid in a gummy way

Oh, My bad, you didn't say quantum molecule, you said 'rearrange molecules at a quantum level'...

But still...

I can't help but feel that 'quantum' doesn't belong there. Quantum being the smallest possible unit, realize... We know the molecular level pretty well, Sub-molecular... Kinda, Quantum level... Nuh-uh.

There are hardly even theories about it.

String theory would mean the manipulation at the quantum level would mean manipulating strings.

Somehow, I don't think so.

[chainmaillekid]

Franky, I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about, What is a quantum molecule?

C'mon, give me an example of a quantum molecule.

[chainmaillekid]

Its not 'Thousands of hits' its 'under a thousand hits'

My name, Chainmaillekid has about 20,000 hits.

An obscure scientific term, that won't even show up on spell check like... somatosensory has nearly a million hits.

'Intelligent molecules' is a term used almost exclusively by D3o.

And I don't see what controlling molecules by computer has to do with either D3o or intelligent molecules.

[JAFrk]

how does a term like "intelligent molecule" be coined by a company thats only several years old and have "thousands of hits" second, Scientists are currently working on a project using molecules at a quantum level that with using a computer to input commands, can rearrange molecules creating shapes and solids, sort of like a 3D printer but can be rearranged instantaneously with a super computer hence called "intelligent molecules" although it is,and CAN be manipulated by a computer

[chainmaillekid]

I never said hitting the molded compout would result in it fracturing, I refer ONLY to the goo as seen in the video.

In fact, I highly doubt the final product would shatter at all, I honesly have no idea what they add to it.

As for stopping bullets...

I think D3o got the grant because from the military because they wanted bullet proofing, and other military applications explored by palmer, not because thats what D3o currently is cabable of.
