Super ThinLiquidBulletproof Vest

In the science fiction film "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", a future robot body is made of liquid metal.

However, liquid bulletproof clothing is not a technology in science fiction, but a treasure that can be applied to modern soldiers.


According to British media,

BAE Systems

Recently, a new type of liquid bulletproof vest has been developed.

This revolutionary invention uses a liquid called "shear thickening fluid", which hardens when it is struck by a bullet and acts as a barrier to bullets.

The new liquid armor suits provide unprecedented protection for soldiers, while ensuring that they can move freely and flexibly, and are no longer restricted by bulky traditional bulletproof vests.


The bulletproof vest with ceramic plates and Kevlar materials can cover most areas of the soldier's body, thus playing a bullet proof effect. But in the long run, this bulletproof vest also has some limitations, that is, the bulky characteristics affect the mobility, flexibility and speed of the user.

"Shear thickening fluid" can be sprayed between two layers of Kevlar to make super strong and ultra thin bulletproof vest.

Originally, Kevlar material could reach 5 times the strength of steel, so it was also considered the standard bulletproof clothing material.

Now, this new type.

Super ultrathin bulletproof vest

It is much thinner than the ordinary bulletproof vest and only half the weight of ordinary bulletproof vest.


Stuart penny, head of BAE systems design and materials research and development, explains, "Imagine: when you slowly churn the" shear thickener "in the container, you will initially feel a slight resistance.

The faster you stir, the greater the resistance. "

This special liquid can also be used in combination with the traditional Kevlar's bulletproof vest.

The Kevlar's bulletproof vest can provide excellent degree of freedom of movement, and the thickness is only about 45% of the thickness of the existing bulletproof vest.

In addition, "shear thickening fluid" can also restrict the loosening of yarn in Kevlar and enlarge the area of attracting energy.


Use

Standard ceramic plate bulletproof vest

It weighs about 25 pounds (about 11.3 kilograms).

Next, BAE systems will continue to improve and perfect this liquid bulletproof vest and upgrade its bulletproof ability to withstand more powerful weapons such as AK47.

In addition to military use, this new bulletproof vest can also be applied to the emergency response of police and ambulance personnel.
