Liquid Armor

         

                                                           Liquid Armor


               In the video "Liquid Armor" made by the Science television channel, it explains the insanity of turning a liquid into a solid then back into a liquid, all in a split second. This armor was/is being made for mainly prison guards, prison guards have a high likeliness to get shanked (stabbed) with anything and everything. The vest’s they were wearing before could withstand bullets, but not a knife. The threads in the vest would move due to such a sharp point. Although now the vest is a liquid and when anything punctures it, it turns hard before it can get all the way through. I think that this new armor will help a lot with the injuries that happen at prisons. Not only will it help at prisons but it can be used anywhere, including the army. The idea of a liquid armor is a very impressive idea, not only will this save lives but it is also showing how fast into the future we are moving. Although with this new armor there is a minor flaw, if you were to where this armor and get stabbed you would still feel the hit, it just wouldn’t puncture into your skin. I think this is a great idea and will soon be more known, and easy to buy.  Although you can’t buy the vest yet you can make it, all it takes is two ingredients that are open to the public and you have yourself liquid armor.

Question: Do you think that the rate of speed future is moving is a good or bad thing?
