it s really unassuming. unassuming is part of the brilliance of the concussion made by air force cadet haley weir and her instructor ryan burke. this could one day save the lives of those in combat. the concept of going out there and stopping a bullet is something we have made in the chemistry lab. that should really spark the interest for me. 21-year-old weir got the idea and her chemistry class and went to her advisor. naturally, i m pretty skeptical. to convince him, she poured water into a bowl of corn starch and asked them to put his finger in the mixture with force. i jammed my finger in the goal and almost broke my finger. did not penetrate into the liquid. shear thickening fluid, a powerful cons of the unlikely pair took in using plastic fork and knives, and walmart neck si sir, and super simple yet supersecret ingredients, came up with a pace that combined with other antiballistic s does this.

and assistant professor ryan burke did it. while in a chemistry class she came up with an idea no not only stop a bullet but do so in a way more wider and dr. burke was skeptical. her idea is a concept called sheer thickening fluid. she poured water in corn starch. he almost broke a finger. an object will push in. at speed it s practically impossible. they combined the flewed with anti-ballistic materials. the ingredients are secret. mixed and spread on the front of this block stopped a 9 millimeter bullet. same goes for a 44 magnum. it stops it from penetrating. more research is being done right now at the air force civil engineer center in florida with a co-inventor who they work with. weir s ultimate goal is to lighten the load.
