Hello! I didn't expect a different outcome. You used K-49 Kevlar which is high modulus Kevlar used for thechnical laminates (automotive and aerospace applications). There would be a significant difference if you would have used K-29 low modulus Kevlar which is meant to be used for ballistic Kevlar laminates!
Question for author - Folks normally try to shoot down drones with shotguns with small pellets... What do you believe is the lightest weight material to line the button of a drone with - To prevent the small pellets from penetrating the plastic body of the drone? I ask... because in my case... A single drone could have a 5-10K dollar camera on board. If the drone goes down, I can always get the coppers involved because it's illegal to shoot down a drone. And we can get a court order to go onto the land to retrieve the drone based on the GPS coordinates. But it's all mute if the 10K camera has holes in it. If they wack a propeller blade... That is a cheap fix. But the body and the camera are most important. Can you please post your thoughts/recommendations - The material, layers, resin used, and weight of the completed item? Size wise... We are talking about 12" length X 10" wide.
No idea! You would need to experiment with various weights and thicknesses of cloths and shoot them at varying distances to find the best way to bulletproof a drone...
12mm thick fiberglass laminate is rated to 3A but I doubt that it's lite weight at that thickness. It would probably be easier and cheaper to seek the land owners permission even if it isn't legally required.
I don't understand the reason for mentioning the weight of each patch's component sheets. Does it matter if it's 100 grams or 1kg? Is it more about the thickness of the patches? Or just the weight in terms of using it as body armor that must be carried - and making a comparison between weights and strengths?
The weight can matter greatly if you're making high performance pieces. You wouldn't want a 15kg nosecone on the front of a high speed kit car, for example. You'd care if it was 4kg or 15kg

Seems handy for puncture tests in general! I could imagine a sharp rock or dock having a go at the bow of my boat...

What if instead of epoxy resin, you melted down HDPE plastic or something and did that? It's very impact resistant
HDPE isn't going to be as tough as epoxy reinforced aramid

I though it was illegal to purchase kevlar if been looking everywhere
I believe it's illegal to supply kevlar cloth to certain countries, but there are no restrictions within the UK

Video also serves as a reminder to pay the bill lol
Where do you buy those material
