The Development Of Liquid Bulletproof Clothing In Britain Is Like The Bullet Proof Effect Of Terminator.

Forget the traditional Kevlar's bulletproof vest, the new bulletproof vest will provide unprecedented protection. The traditional Kevlar's bulletproof vest is very bulky and is very hot when wearing it. At present, a newly developed bulletproof vest is made of liquid material. It will harden when the bullet hits the liquid vest and provide unprecedented protection so that the soldier can move freely and not be restricted by the heavy bulletproof vest.

This is very similar to the liquid metal robot with super bulletproof ability in the science fiction film "Terminator 2: the end of the world".

The Kevlar's bulletproof vest can cover many areas of the human body, but because of the weight of the bulletproof vest, it greatly reduces the mobility, flexibility and speed of the soldier.

In addition, as in Iraq, Afghanistan and other battlefields, soldiers often endure high temperatures close to 49 degrees Celsius, while wearing heavy armor suits also increases body fatigue.

At present, the global defense aerospace safety company, British BAE systems, has recently developed a liquid super gel material bulletproof vest, which means that this bulletproof vest will provide lighter and more flexible body defense measures to soldiers in the future.

This liquid gel can be placed between the Kevlar layer. Its resistance to bullets is about five times that of steel, but it is half the weight of ordinary bulletproof clothing and thinner than that of it.

Liquid bulletproof clothing uses Shear Thickening Liquid, which contains special particles that can be suspended freely. When the liquid is attacked by a bullet, these special particles will collide and form resistance to this disturbance.

When the disturbance force is large enough, the particles will actually "lock" together.

Therefore, when the bullet hits the bulletproof vest at a certain speed, the liquid armor will absorb the collision energy and become very strong in a short time.

Stewart penny, head of BAE systems design and materials business development department, explains that it can be imagined that when external forces slowly hit the shear thickening liquid device, it will feel very small.

At the same time, a faster external force will increase the resistance.

This special liquid material can also be combined with the traditional Kevlar's bulletproof vest. When combined with liquid materials, Kevlar's bulletproof vest has strong flexibility, which is 45% thinner than that of the existing bulletproof vest.

At the same time, liquid gel can also restrict the loosening of the yarn of Kevlar's bulletproof vest and disperse the collision energy.

When a bullet hits

Traditionally, the bulletproof vest is usually bent inward, although it can prevent death, but it often causes serious injuries and pain.

The liquid bulletproof clothing can avoid pain, bruise, internal organs damage and rib fracture by dispersing the impact force of the bullet.

The test video released by BAE Technology Center showed that the 9 mm pistol fired the bullet to the 10 layer Kevlar's bulletproof vest combined with liquid material, and then fired 31 layers of Kevlar's bulletproof vest without adding liquid material.

The impact force of liquid bulletproof clothing will spread to a wider area after being hit by bullets, which means that the bullet's attack force is not concentrated in a small area, so that the probability of injury or death of soldiers is greatly reduced.

Adopt standard

The average body armor is about 25 pounds. BAE systems believe that the weight of liquid bulletproof clothing is only half that of the former, which means reducing soldiers' battlefield load and giving full play to their fighting capacity.

The next step will be the design of liquid bulletproof vest, which can resist the attack of AK47 and other more powerful weapons. In addition to its military applications, liquid bulletproof vests can also be applied to police officers and ambulance workers.

Advanced bulletproof vests can reduce the danger of soldiers and fast attack troops and provide a certain degree of flexibility.
