    New type of bullet proof vest

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/science_a...t/10569761.stm

    Wonder if it could be combined with thermal effects to nulify extremes of temperature...

    Re: New type of bullet proof vest

    wasnt this shown in one of them expedition type things early this year or last year? I remember seeing some people showing this orangery substance as an armor, the guy hammered the hell out of it and he didnt feel a thing. Its bullet proof and shock proof it would seem, maybe the same as this stuff since it solidifies on impact?

    Eitherway, its good for better vests!.

    Hmm it seems like some sort of non-newtonian fluid

    The orange stuff is called d3o, it's been around in sports gear for a long time.
