Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
Testing out some new resins for ballistic glass. This one didn't hold up as well as others I've used. I made a short showing the testing of this one. I can't wait to share some new videos soon. It's been far too long.

WHAT'S THIS? ANOTHER VIDEO UPLOAD? I'm editing down some footage that was recorded over the summer, with @gamecubekingdevon3 who came all the way from France to enjoy the 4th with my family. It'll be finished this weekend (just in time for New years). The video covers ballistic tests on various aluminum alloys and some steels. I'll be dropping a few shorts of our time together before the full video is released. Once this video is uploaded, it's back to my vehicle armor! I've been developing a modular armor system that I think everyone will enjoy. I've been talking with @3RBallistics to help with different ballistic glass designs for it. I'll also be writing that one up into a PDF for everyone. Thanks again for helping this channel get to 20000 subscribers. It means a lot to me, see you all very soon, take care.

New project video complete, check it out: https://youtu.be/0jk-ikImp4Y?si=RnAgy...
I'm happy with how this one turned out. Hopefully, everyone else will enjoy it as well. If you all could share this video, I would be forever grateful. We just hit 20000 subscribers. Thank you all for helping reach that milestone. I got another video coming out soon (sooner than 6 months this time), I'll see you all then, take care.

The PDF for my version of LIBA armor is finished: drive.google.com/file/d/12-zSAyDGzUO8hPjVHaJ6BV7zY…
You can read it before the video! I'm currently editing down the footage for a full-length video that will go hand and hand with this pdf. The project video will be finished by the end of the week. See you all very soon, take care.

I got some fantastic data on my homemade LIBA armor ( a version Utilizing ceramic balls tightly packed together with an elastomer resin.) This was exciting to test, going in I didn't know how well it would preform. We should be able to expand along this concept and build some unique new ceramic strike faces. I'll have the video and pdf up within a week or so, I'm compiling all the data now. See you all very soon, take care.

Hello everyone, it's been a while. I'm conducting ballistic testing on my liba armor tomorrow afternoon, so if all goes according to plan, I'll have a pdf and new video for you guys soon. I will also be uploading one that has new ballistic tests done on various aluminum plates and some steels. My dear friend Devon came all the way from France to shoot that one with me (well, that and to experience merica.) Anyway, see you all very soon, take care.

LIBA (light improved ballistic armor) utilizes cylinders (pallets) with domed "spherical" tops and bottoms. These are then aligned and tightly "packed" in a way to reduce void space between them, and the remaining space is filled with an elastomer. The result is a flexible ceramic strike face that is used in vehicles, buildings, and, in some cases, personal armor. (Along with composite or metal backing, of course.) The advantages are described to be significant over traditional ceramic armor (easily repaired, higher multi hit capacity, potential for greater flexibility in personal armor, better blast protection.) Now the idea of using ceramic balls and cylinders isn't entirely new, the "ultra-porcelain armor" in the t-64 turret is a prime example. It's also worth mentioning that there's around 2-3 patients on the topic of ceramic balls in armor in the US ( from what I've found so far, and it seems like most of those have expired one way or another.) I've also found a few research papers on the topic that's be extremely helpful and interesting. Long story short, I'm attempting to create my own unique version on the topic of ceramic balls in urethane resin. I'm also utilizing recycled HDPE for some to compare a more "ductile" resin vs a more "elastic" resin. This will be an extensive test. It's been a while since I've done so many test samples at once. I'm excited to see how these do. See you all very soon, take care!

How's everyone doing on this fine day? I'm busy in the garage setting up some new plates for testing. These prototype plates are ceramic/plastic hybrid plates, however first I'm dialing in the concept with glass marbles. I'm really excited to test these out! I might make a short soon detailing how the experiment is going. Make sure to check back soon for an update! Take care.

How's everyone doing on this fine Tuesday? So I finally got to test out some new plates, and they worked great! I think with some dialing in, we could have some lightweight, low-cost sapi plates. My favorite out of the bunch weighed 7 lbs 2 oz, making it one of the lightest plates I've made to handle rifle rounds. The video for these nylon laminated hdpe plates will be up by Sunday. See you all very soon, take care.

RETURN OF THE RECYCLED HDPE ♻️
I have two project videos going coming up on this channel very soon. One deals with utilizing hdpe as a laminate for composite armor, the other to create unique ceramic/plastic hybrid strike faces. For that, I've acquired alumina oxide ceramic balls (13mm in diameter) porcelain ceramic balls (6mm in diameter) glass marbles (5/8 in diameter) and steel shot (4.5 mm diameter). I'll probably drop a short or something soon outlining the full builds soon, so check back soon. Take care

Ever wanted a bullet-proof hoodie? Or maybe build your own fireproof gloves? How about impact resistant gear for cycling or freerunning custom made to fit you perfectly? Yeah, me too. So over the last few years I've learned just about everything there is to know about plastics, composite fabrics and molding/forming them. I'll show you varies ways to to make your own gear and gadgets right at home. So tech this out, right meow.
