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.
