Clay is the standard backing medium for testing of ballistic armor for the ability to illustrate deformation and force. it looks like he is using the exact same stuff as the professional testing for NIJ rating of armor. Gun tubers do use it sometimes. Especially those who are actually dedicated to testing armor thoroughly, like B.U.F.F.MAN RANGE for example.
my guy, idk but you giving me the vibes of the maker of the heroes suit. The one guy that makes it possible for them to exist because the suits you make allow for such possibility. You truly make great works
I tried to do this a little over a year ago but I had so much trouble keeping that fiberglass weaving from falling apart! You've got this down to such a science, I really appreciate you making this awesome guide!
One thing to take note of from my years doing carbon composite parts for Formula sae is that your epoxy is very very important to the strength/fire resistance, etc. of your parts. Choosing the right epoxy with the right strength characteristics is just as important as the built/layering of your parts. This isn't as touched upon and is extremely important. Thats why some carbon fiber parts can deal with high heat and others can't. Also easy thing to remember is thag the longer an epoxy takes to set and cure usually the stronger it is. That why when u go to the store and looked at the 5min epoxy vs the 24hr epoxy, the psi ratings will be higher on the longer cure time epoxy.
@CrashMakerspace you did but not as much emphasis. I think sometimes when we know a lot about a subject we forget that other people may not know completely the details and background of where we are coming from. Most people have no clue about composite structures. I just wanted to emphasize the point further.
I’ve seen some confusion about why I shared this plate, which doesn’t compare to my SLS Lattice Decoupler Plate that stopped multiple magazines of high-caliber rifle rounds. I made this video for you, not for me, so YOU can build an affordable plate using common tools and materials that still looks great and offers protection :) For cutting-edge, non-DIY armor, check out my latest super armor ruclips.net/video/LmA3PBEyu3g/видео.html
Hey man cool stuff. Two little tips that you may or may not try but look up a aluminum bubble roller for fiberglass instead of the rolling pin. Second is when you get the itchy stuff on your arms, just get a cheap facial razor and shave your arms or wherever your itching . The razor will shave your hairs off , but it will pull fiberglass and carbon fiber strains out of your skin. Been dealing with fiberglass since 1990. Worked in the body shops and boat repair industries a while . A Guy named Dale Whiteman that wrote a book on working fiberglass taught me a few things back then. I've worked on a lot of Race cars too. I built and designed the hood on the Street outlaws car named the Shocker, so not a keyboard smartass . Your doing cool stuff man. 👍👍
This is some fantastic work. I'm consistently impressed with your analytical approach to soft and hard armor creation processes. Very exciting work you're doing, and can see pretty huge application for what you're doing. Over on my channel, we're developing real MJOLNIR and ODST armor (as close as is possible with modern technology), and the work you've done here could apply spectacularly well with the ODST Armor. Would you be available at some point to have a chat about some specifics, perhaps even collaborate on something?
Subbed to your channel! I’m always happy to chat with other makers. Have you seen my previous video on the armor I made for stopping the .300WM and large volumes of other rounds? That might give you some more ideas too!
0:40 I hope you'll also show how to do the other plate in the future. Nano whatever... sounds like a super cool technology and process. And damn, 2,4 lbs???
This is pretty cool. It's like a much more tuned and custom version of ZNA Productions armor way back when. I wonder if you could add motorcycle impact foam pads to make the impact more distributed.
Yes! I was just thinking of that guy but couldn't remember the name. I remember coming across his fiberglass (or kevlar?) diy armored plates, back when I was researching if it had already been tried.👍
Do what u did with the vest do it backwards Kevlar first to slow it down in thoses fibers and also to catch the fibers at the end so just add it to the front
I would recommend making separate chest and ab plates that fit over each other like scales for mobility, coated with something like Kevlar and truck bed liner to catch any spalling that might go up between the layers. It’s slightly less protection but you can actually move, kick, sit, roll… fight! Haha
I am so glad you chose red hood abd not bats cause I think redhood is soo awesome and not enough casual dc fans know about him it is a shame, by FAR my favorite DC character.
Peel Ply is a God sent, I just recently discovered it, while redoing the bottom of our speed boat.. It made such an unbelievable difference when it came down to sanding the hull in preparation for gelcoat..
My lord just listening to you speak is impressive. Definitely a very bright young man. I cant even begin to ponder what interesting new projects your future will provide us all. Best wishes good sir🏆
Question: would increasing the amount of varying angles of weave directions increase strength. For example instead of 90 & 45 , do 60, 30, 15 and so on. 8:10
I can't wait until nano graphine is more widely available, you'll be able to make 1/4 inch body armor that weighs next to nothing..I'm sure you'll continue to impress us..Thank you you've given me hope for our younger generations..🙏
Impressive! I used to modify my nightwing suit with carbon fibre (it was made of leather at the beginning), then I am recently working on an Arkham knight armor with hybrid fibre including kevlar, carbon fibre and glass fibre. Nice video showing how thich should I make the armor! (There are no guns here in Hong Kong So I cant do any testings)
This is a simple build for the average maker to follow. My armor posted last month beats level IV plates as it took multiple .300 WM along with magazine of .556 steel core / .308 and even X2 12 Ga 1oz slugs after taking other rounds
I feel like backing this with a VERY thin formed sheet of metal (even mild steel at .5mm would help significantly lower the bubbling and air pocket forming feom the fmj.
🙌 I wonder if the dragon skin bpv vest system would would work with fiberglass. Just overlapping hexagons from one vest glued to another. They used ceramic plates but remember even Chinese paper armor was layered.

I hope that anyone who decided to make this has at least some level of common sense lol. Can't really blame him for their ignorance if they're doing something they haven't the slightest clue about. And near the end he did say "making this for cosplay is one thing, but shooting is another". So by all accounts, he's safe.
@@dkcrow3640 Not blaming him, simply mean I just wouldn't want someone else getting hurt on my conscience ya know? We all should look out for each other, period
You should put a not newton's fluid behind the armor to prevent the transmission of the impact. It should be inside a bag made with a sort of fabric that does't break when hitted. It will cost, but it will be a good experiment 😉
I was fascinated by your bulletproof hero style body armor project, the truth is that I am enthusiastic about technological armor, I am manufacturing complete body armor to protect the entire body, it will be made in UHMWPE and AR500 steel, the AR500 is only used on the front. of the helmet and forearm and neck, the heavy air 500 cannot be entirely made of air500, I am using PE in NIJ 3A and NIJ 4 in chest and back head!
You could get a lot more flexibility if you were to make it two or even three segmented pieces rivited together so they can flex (think platemail segmenting). If you overlap them then the gaps would be negligible and you would be able to crunch your middle a bit. Getting in and out of cover without being able to bend your core is hard.
I wanna preface with how awesome this is, but I was thinking that, with the angle of the chest area, you might want to introduce something to avoid spawling damage to your neck. A slight lip/ throat guard might look cool or maybe just some kind of tough rubber coating like many ceramic plates have.
Also if u want u after u made a 3d model that fits ur chest u can 3d print a positive mold that fills in the space where your chest would be so you don't need a concrete bag. Also when u use the vacuum bag it can keep the shape of the mold and not possibly deflect when under high vacuum pressures.
Would love to see these plate tested against .44 magnum bullets with the added metal lattice. You may actual be able to get a super thin level IIIa plate that way
Have you tried it against something like an underwood penetrator round? Also what nano materials do you incorporate (ceramic)? And can that have any chance of stopping rifle rounds or do you need tiles instead of nano ceramic powder?
could you try this with a more rounded form rather than sculpted to the chest? it might be more effective due to it being able to deflect things more easily
It would be significantly heavier, end far more expensive. But you could make ceramic plate with ultra high molecular wait polyethylene backing. Put that over a multi-layered Kevlar vest.
I wonder if heat relaxing the glass fibers would be better or worse. Probably worse tbh Glass does some really weird stuff. Wish we could make tiny Prince Rupert's drop balls as a filler. Would be functionally indestructible against bullets. Too bad i don't know how to do that! Great video, watched it all the way through
Wow - this is really cool. I feel like this is the exterior shell of a large suit of power armor with the metal molecular structure underneath it. The big question is, of course, all that ballistic force is transferred into a pressure wave into the body. How could it be dispersed without breaking a person's body? And that is the million dollar question

look up clock angle for fiberglass you will increase the strength of the glass layer by clicking the weave at different angles.
