    00:05:46 Joerg, to make the test fully reliable and correct you should not FOLD the metal sheet ONLY cut it in smaller sheets and place on each other because folded sheet leaves space between layers and works as SPRINGS that absorb energy from the bolt thus the test is not quite reliable.

      And one plate with 4 mm reacts completely different, than 4 layers with each 1 mm sheet. Because the broadhead can cut and deform 1mm, but never could cut and deform a 4 mm sheet.

      @@andersahlstroem6415 the idea of several layers in tanks is that the incoming projectile could turn between the layers, making it ineffective and shapecharges have a limited deph of penetration that can be used up with air as well as with steel.
      the mechanical stopping force of layers directly adjacent to each other is lower than the combined thickness in one plate.
      if you wear a layer of aluminium at a distance from your body that might be a (theoretically) good idea if you have the thickness that stops the arrow after 100mm it would be better to have the plate 100mm away from your body.

    I'm not sure how viable it would be to test, but creating a spaced armor plate might be interesting vs solid plates. You were already starting to create spaced armor plates by folding it, but in theory, having a small air gap between the plates could potentially give the arrow tip a chance to deform before penetrating every layer, redirecting some energy and potentially decreasing the bolts penetration value. As always, I always love your videos. :)

      Stab testing uses a narrow ice pick like testing medium. Skinny blades will.needle through woven kevlar layers. Dyneema sheets have been used to make stab resistant inserts... much like the other commonly used ballistic material. Fused dyneema/spectrashield sheets, act like a cutting board.

    • @christianb.1028
      @christianb.1028 Рік тому

      I believe deformation is not the main factor, but the friction between arrow and plate while passing through the first layer until hitting the second layer is significant. I'm willing to bet there would be no to minimal penetration of the second plate if it is more than 10 cm away.

    For piercing type attacks, hardness is key. Blade type weapons rely on the integrity of the tip/edge and the overall thinness of the blade, i.e. sharpness + surface area. Especially with regards to broadheads, they are not designed to penetrate hard surfaces, so they prioritize sharpness and thinness, at the cost of hardness and durability. If the tip impacts a sufficiently hard surface it will deform before it can pierce, and the blade edges will also be severely damaged, making most of the penetration effect being due to pure kinetic force punching through, rather than cutting through.
    Therefor a combination of a relatively thin sheet of hard steel combined with the normal aramid fiber vest, could produce significantly superior results vs just the sheet of metal alone.

    7 mm in single sheets behave different to a solid 7mm plate of aluminium.
    Try to test that, you'll be surprised of the difference it makes. The main thing a hard body armor relies on is rigidity and hardness. So for example 7 pieces of 1 mm aluminium sheet rather bend under pressure than a solid 7 mm piece. And if you would take either the 7, 1 mm pieces or the 7 mm plate and work harden them, you will get different results again.
    Also to stop a broadhead or any arrow for that matter, I'd rather use cut resitant fabric like UHMWPE or polycarbonate which is also lighter than steel or aluminium.
    Because as you know for example with polycarbonate, it want's to close around the arrow shaft and creates friction. Metal for that matter, especially in thin sheets like you tested simply will bend away and make space for the shaft to pass further through.
    To just stab proof a kevlar west, just resort to some chainmail.
    If it's professionaly made and costs don't matter, Titanium (grade 5) is the best choice.
    3 mm thick chain links are more than enough.
    If costs matter, a high quality spring steel will protect you just as good.

    Also z.B. Blech-Kevlar-Blech-Kevlar-Blech. Das ganze einfach mit Kontaktkleber verbinden. Ich denke durch die Gewebelagen würde der Pfeil stärker abgebremst, und das Blech könnte nicht so einfach nach hinten "verschwinden".

      I use Truglo Titanium X mechanical broadheads for tactical purposes. I cut off the “push tab” so they just go straight in without opening. But the cutting width is still a bit wider than the broadhead arrows from gogun, and they fly straighter because much of the mass is out ahead of the blades.

    For complex material science reasons, multiple thin plates are less efficient than a thicker plate of equivalent thickness at stopping projectiles. So a 4 or 5mm aluminium plate might do the job of 4x1mm + 2x1.5mm. Similarly, I don't think any crossbow bolt will go through a 3mm mild steel plate. Finally, as others have pointed out, properly hardened and tempered carbon steel plates are an order of magnitude stronger than mild steel, to the extent that a 1.5-2mm plate of AR400 or similar would probably make you proof against anything crossbow-related.

    Comment about the video first.
    A) How would those bolts deal with a 30-layer gambeson, which were meant to be "arrow proof", because that might be another option to counter stab/puncture threats.
    So multiple layers of Kevlar and what not. (Maybe some inner layers of Nomex, which is stab resistant IIRC.)
    Because that shouldn't up the weight of those vests by the amounts that those armour plates would.
    B) Only semi-related to the video, but I'm curious nonetheless.
    Could something like the Adder or Siege (or even that Siege Adder you're working on) be made from wood, metal or bone and be limited to say late Medieval/early Renaissance tech levels?
    We know that the Chinese Repeaters never took off due to lack of power and range, something the modern concept interpretations don't suffer from.
    And Leonardo Da Vinci's rapid fire crossbow doesn't seem to have gotten a fair shake either, despite there being a, think it was, 3 to 1 reload difference with the standard winched versions of the time at similar draw weights.
    So kinda wondering if something like the crossbows I mentioned could've even have been made and if their performances would've still outperformed the local versions.
    Makes for an interesting What-if question, as well as how much of a butterfly effect that would've had on the tech development at the time (slowdown on handheld firearms development?).

      Kommt auf die Rüstung und das Jahrhundert an. Und vor allem war eine „Ritterrüstung“ durch die Form dafür ausgelegt, daß sie Pfeile, Bolzen und sogar Kugeln aus Handbüchsen aufhalten kann.

      Maximal 3mm an der Brustplatte, Arme unter 1mm. Allerdings ist ein flaches Blech einfacher zu durchschlagen als eine gekrümmte Rüstung
      ua-cam.com/video/ds-Ev5msyzo/v-deo.html Wohl der beste öffentliche Test zu dem Thema Pfeile gegen Ritterrüstung des 15.Jahrhunderts.
      Langbögen hatten kaum eine Chance Brustplatten zu durchschlagen, Von z.b 11kg schweren Wallarmbrüsten, welche wohl nur zur Verteidigung bei Belagerung genutzt wurden, waren Armbrüst nicht stärker wegen der geringen Zuglänge.

    If a steel plate would be hardened, and tempered, I think it would work better than the aluminum, and still be thinner than just normal steel.

    Who exactly was the "they" that said you were teaching terrorists how to penetrate stab-proof vests and why did they not receive your information well?
    Those "they" seem pretty suspect to me for being so concerned about the proliferation of basic knowledge.
    Why do "they" want the masses to remain ignorant and uneducated about the stab resistance of objects?
    "They" scared of getting stabbed?
    What's wrong with basic educational information?

    Titan ist sehr stabil, leicht und Bleche in der Größe bekommt man selbst auf Ebay. Sind natürlich deutlich teurer als Stahl oder Alu. 3cm Papier würde den Bolzen auch stoppen.(Telefonbuch zB). Ich habe für die Heimverteidigung einen 2mm dicken Stahlschild (Nachbau aus dem 12. Jahrhundert). Damit ist man schon recht sicher, wenn man in der rechten Hand dann noch eine Waffe trägt.
