Liquid Body Armor
Just a concept and prototype.
Testing and results are still pending
Non- Newtonian fluid (Shear thickening fluids) are those fluids that act as a solid when under shear stress and as a fluid in normal conditions. Example- a fluid which will automatically become a solid and stops the hand from getting into it, if punched on it but will stay liquid and allow the hand to steer into it if done slowly and gently.
Based on this Idea, a shirt was made with pockets that can hold rubber tubes filled with a Shear Thickening fluid. The inner rubber tube in Bikes were used and total 9 tubes were used to protect the front of a male torso. Testing and results are yet to come.
