Carbon nanotubes and body armors
I'll dedicate this thread to textile engineers!
The FutureWeapons showcased 'DragonSkin' - the body armour that survives almost everything!
Watch this youtube clip -

I had read somewhere that the use of carbon nanotubes [What is it anyway? 😒 ] makes this possible.
Can anyone throw more light on this?
[PS: I'm now trying for Mr. Murray Neal, CEO of Dragon Skin! for Small Talk 😉 ]

raj87verma88Quite Interesting. A scale armor made of silicon carbide ceramic plates. In the tests conducted by "Future Weapons" the vest was able to hold against armor piercing rounds from AK-47, M16(5.56 Caliber)...etc and an explosion from a M67 hand grenade.
But the US Army says that the Dragon Skin had failed their tests and is not up to the standard of the Interceptor. But the Pinnacle CEO Mr. Murray Neal claims that dragon skin passed all tests. Quite controversial. -

Yeap, apparently the Army banned it even before testing it themselves. What kind of testing did they do? Maybe its a political reason, since even the creator of the Interceptor vouches for the Dragon Skin.raj87verma88But the US Army says that the Dragon Skin had failed their tests and is not up to the standard of the Interceptor.
