Ever Wanted Bulletproof Clothing…

This item was filled under [ Tech ]

British research boffins have came up with a brand new substance that can make Bullet Proof clothing. Even the Britain’s ministry of defence has awarded £100,000 (no surprise there then) to the small company that has developed a special substance than hardens instantly on impact.

The substance is an Orange jelly also called D30 Jelly that has amazing shock-absorbing quality’s, when moved slowly, the molecules will slip past each other, but in a high-energy impact they will snag and lock together, becoming solid.It is hoped that the shock-absorbing substance will soon be fitted onto the inside of soldiers’ helmets reducing in half the kinetic energy of a bullet or piece of shrapnel and hopefully making them impenetrable.

The D30 jelly is now finding its place into many sporting goods such as ski gloves, shin guards, ballet shoe pointes and horse-riding equipment

The jelly can be even stitched into clothing or equipment that is supple until it stiffens into a protective barrier on impact. If the product is taken on by defence contractors it could be used to reduce the bulky and restrictive armour used by troops in on the frontline with jelly pads inserted into key protective area.
