The London Telegraph reports the British military has signed a contract with a company to provide a new gel which is supposed to be flexible until it is hit with force and then it will stop bullets.
The gel, called d3O locks instantly into a solidified form when it is hit at high impact.
"When moved slowly, the molecules will slip past each other, but in a high-energy impact they will snag and lock together, becoming solid," said Richard Palmer, who invented the gel. "In doing so they absorb energy."
It's already being used in sports equipment, as is shown in this video which is Japanese (??). I don't speak Japanese, but the pictures speak pretty loudly all by themselves.
Internet Photojournalist John W. Myers is a North Carolina native farm boy, U.S. Navy Vietnam War veteran, Sunday School teacher, avid Bible student, long-time member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy even before Hillary noticed it, NRA-certified pistol instructor, lifetime member of "Sharpshooters 'R' Us" and he loves grits.
The Lord Jesus Christ saved me at age 29 on Feb. 28, 1977, which launched what continues as a lifetime study of the Bible. Within a year or two I began teaching Sunday School and still do. In recent years, I started writing a Bible Question & Answer series, some of which are online. If you have a Bible question, check my Bible Q&A archive first and if I haven’t answered your question, send me an email and I will research it and respond.
