Transparent Armor

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

Absolutely incredible material science. Of course the military drives innovation as always. Maybe one day us civies can have access and find uses for materials such as these.

[@davidbrandenburg8029]

can oxynitride aluminum be used for larger telescope lens, to counteract lens sag in larger telescope refractor lens?.

[@roxasparks]

Yes

[@arcangle723]

Transparent titanium would be better

[@aHotdogThatComments]

imma go craft some

[@Resident_Kriegsman]

@@aHotdogThatComments Hows it coming bro I want to fight the Chinese fully nude only wearing transparent titanium

[@branden53298]

Don’t be picky lol

[@elguinolo7358]

That's the ticket laddie !

[@RynaxAlien]

What about phone screen protectors?

[@patrickwelles3046]

what about phone screens...

[@rogercollins2653]

So the answer to the question whats through the looking glass is bullet proof.

[@matthiascarroll1924]

I don’t think the bullet traveling ‘easily’ through sand is a good analogy 1:50

[@chrisgriffith9252]

Well it's been 5 years...
How is it going?

[@norwegiansmores811]

so. still no phone screens? ;)

This material was first invented by an American working at GE in the 1960s, no? Different name but same concept, like what is used in YAG lasers.

[@cannaroe1213]

Does that mean it's out of patent? I'm more likely to use Spinel if so.

[@amazingcolonelangus4535]

Try Titanium Oxide. It should be stronger than Aluminum Oxide right???

[@Turboy65]

I'm waiting for transparent personal armor to become a thing. Especially helmets with integral transparent face shields.

[@ElectricalExistence]

im considering making it at home. seems if yo ucan melt aluminum oxide and make a big enough piece of transparent sapphire its just as strong as this stuff. of course you gotta shape and polish it yourself.

[@andyschrack4466]

What about adding graphene to the mix?

[@gautamkrgupta6794]

Yeah good

[@memeboi6108]

just because adding graphene to something doesn’t make it strong

[@memeboi6108]

it could make it completely different

[@MaitlandJones]

Asking for a friend. Could that transparent armor take a battle axe??

[@sauroman1]

Phone screens?

[@kingdarkem]

Huh I thought this needed 15k psi to be made

[@canadiankewldude]

They create then distribute this with perfect NATO round repulsion.
First conflict, AK round flies right through it.
LOL

[@hayabusa4061]

And make helmet visors

[@Lamont24012]

Or make a Mr Freeze Dome style Helmet.

[@karlp8484]

Forget it, ALON just confined you guys to the dumpster.

[@cannaroe1213]

As they say in the video, its much better than ALON

[@Ajmes]

@@cannaroe1213 I re-watched it 3 times, I never heard them mention ALON once.
Also, this video mentions it being used for 7.62 rounds, but ALON can stop a 50cal rifle round
So I'm not sure what makes you say this is stronger.

[@cannaroe1213]

@@Ajmes ALON is just a material. Whether it can stop a 50cal or not depends on how much you use. I don't remember where in the video he talks about Aluminium Oxynitride, but i'm 100% sure he does. Maybe he just doesn't call it ALON.

[@PhysicsA1]

These English scientists must serve their Empire. Don't hand your ideas and skills to the American rebels....they would not do the same for us. How many leading American scientists are working for UK military labs/design institutes.

[@joelavoie221gmail]

I need hulk armor reflect sound capture transform

[@trollking202]

using science speak to disguise what is a simple concept laminates

[@gevaughnb.v5129]

Is this Alon are a copy with a new name "spinel" marketing terminology. Or is it the other way around

[@Victor-056]

Actually, ALON is Aluminium Oxynitride, short-form, 'ALON'. This is Magnesium Aluminate.

[@sashas3362]

How many animals died to make this?

[@denisefigueiredo1401]

Unfortunately not you
