Really cool, great work as always! Out of curiosity did you test it with any small calibre firearms? Eventually adding the some sloped/pointy/angles to let the bullet (or axe of sort) partially dodge and swing by

But the heat from the bullet lets it slip through enough. Compression slows down more so that the heat doesn't melt the plastic it's piercing

When “breaking bad” meet “shooter”; jokes aside, that was most interesting, thanks for sharing it

That was some great work. Your pdf is truly well done and exhaustive, a fine job, bravo. if I may ask, did you ever tested polycarbonate sheets?

Commercial roll of shrink wrap, wrapped around various other materials? Stainless steel plate or screen. Fiberglass/shrink wrap/ceramic layers.

Has anyone seen phenolic laminate used for this?

I'm excited for the recent identification of pGEL (Talin proteins arranged to form an aerogel.) Some research papers found that pGEL can absorb multiple, supersonic projectiles without the back face deformation or structural damage that ceramic/steel/HDPE armors suffer. Whats *really* cool is that the pGEL converts kinetic energy from impacts to thermal energy. The Talin pGEL actually converts a lethal kinetic force to heat energy. How neat is that? 😊

You're at the bleeding edge, mate. If you're interested in ballistic-gels look up Talin protein. The University of Kent has found that gels comprised of Talin (a human endogenous protein) can disperse the energy of high-velocity projectiles The University of

12 part series?! You really milking this thing huh smdh

What if this was casted/poured over an ar500 plate?

Woven hdpe/uhmwetc…woven🤙🏻

Your bullet proof glass experiments show that the bullet won't get you, the glass flying into your eyes will 😂.

If you were using these for a helmet, why bother with gluing them?

Check this out ruff! LOL Hey man, what are the approximate costs for the materials? Or was it mentioned in the video?

What about hdpe cutting boards? Could they be heated up and moulded like real plates?

I would like to see this up against some common rounds... 9mm / 00 buck / 5.56 etc. It would certainly grab some more attention.

Love improvising... Keep up the good work mister. I am in the middle of building a ballistic shield for a friend of mine that wants it for his 'battle' vehicle. I am using a full size IPSC regulation AR 500 gong. It's good so far! Here is what he's getting. Ambidextrous magnetic grip Left and right-side long gun shield rest 3x mini-Wi-Fi cameras and 1x ballistic glass (might not add the glass) Fully padded and rubberized of course!

Why not just use a HDPE kitchen cutting board? Well, actually, just came across this video where somebody sort of did something like that, and it didn't work very well: czcams.com/video/ios2jb9wtTs/video.html The lack of annealing may have been a factor, but he also talks about how real HDPE armor usually uses multiple thin sheets rather than solid precast boards. So, I think you may have actually already annealed the HDPE by melting and slowly cooling the recycled milk jug HDPE.

milk jugs are either PP or LDPE not HDPE and definitely not UHMWPE... the materials used makes a BIG f'ng difference

You should try completely wrapping the plate in fiberglass

Have you used vacuum bagging to reduce weight ? Super easy to do. Check out Easy Composites Ltd LTD CZcams channel. Lots of great tutorials on composite layup and molding. I see you have a large sheet of uhmwpe but if you want supplies that are a more common or main stream items try the thin uhmwpe cutting boards available at many restaurant supply stores that are in every city. ( probably most Home Depots as well but HD is always expensive)

to be clear this is unreinforced PC?

For the radiator you can use dual electric fans and a scoop on the hood, with inner shroud. The electric fans can pull air in with its own shroud

Vsauce of balistics

I know it would be heavy, but have you considered adhering the plates with polyurea instead of resin? Those polyurea coatings are damn near bulletproof on their own and will definitely hold the plates in place while also preventing spalling.

Wood backing polycarbonate plates it´s not good for an adequate test...

Bro, i watched ur videos many times, really love what u are doing. I always wandered if spaced armor works as body protection. Thats a good idea for you i guess - try using porcelain plate then 20-30layers of laminated nylon then again porcelain and again 30 more layers of nylon. It works great on vehicles. I would really love to watch if you try this out. Wish you all the best from Israel!

Don’t worry about the weight you could always drive it in tow/haul

Please make more videos

Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾 a new Baby! Sleepless nights and diapers. My favorites.

3:40 cylinders with domed tops??? So theyre bullet shaped??? Ironic.

Great video. Very thorough testing. 👍 Try porcelain tetrahedron media. Another test would be alternating layers of kevlar, carbon fiber and or fiberglass.

Waiting on this car to be finished cant wait. Where is it at?

😊❤ RADIATOR DOES NOT HAVE TO MOVE, AIR CAN FLOW DOWNWARDS

forbidden cookie

Can I buy a shield from you?

In the factory we BEND lexan polycarbonate in press brake machines to get 90 degree corners. Lexan is also the profuct used for making bullet resistant security windows.

Thanks for posting this - always wondered about this subject in regards to home windows.

Would porcelain perform better than the ceramic

Hey Meow, are you that guy that shared fiberglass armor on the Myanmar subreddit a few years ago then got flames by 1 guy triggered about americans not knowing the specific intricacies of life in countries half a planet away? Djde fuck that guy bro you were literally on there saving lives for free and that guy literally went apeshit over you not knowing specific random-ass shit about Myanmar. You should've hit him with the "If you don't know which specific American truck-stop has the best hotdogs then kindly recognize your hypocrisy"

I have a Nissan Altima that I want to bullet proof out just for fun since I’m getting a new car

Try a thin layer of plastic just fiber glass another layer of plastic fiberglass then third layer of plastic then wrap it in fiberglass and resin. That at the same thickness may stop all the rounds.

You know there are chem trails right? Plenty of info on it out in the media now. Plus we used it on the viet cong in nam to flood the tunnels.

Congratulations on your family and achievements!

I love you so much

Dude how you doing i pray you and family are safe love your content

There’s very few people I could be friends with in a literal term and you I believe are one of them I also hunt and fish I am also a guy like you that builds his own stuff my family’s dream is to buy land and start a small farm chickens ducks small animals so my son can help raise them and they don’t pose an over bearing challenge for my family if I die and leave them behind my goal is to make sure I leave my family with land with our own grid as well as a constant source of food I want to help with your Jeep build seeing as how I am also modifying my family Jeep we go out into the woods a lot wheeling scouting hunting and fishing we prefer the untouched areas of life

It is amazin how a half hour video fails to show a 15 second time lapse with the construction basis. This applies to all of your videos, you do great but pls show interesting things on screen not just talkin, this feels like a blog

Are you adding a gun port for return fire because if your windows are 3 inches thick they obviously are not going down and you also can’t shoot thru your door for obvious reasons

Congrats on the baby! Here’s to many more
