Do you have plans to try car glass and reinforce them with resin and lexan? like take 3 layers of side windows (they are temperature hardened unlike front glass) and fix them with resin and add acryl or lexan. or glue together 2 double layer side glasses from volvo 😀
@@3RBallistics do you know what type of film is laid between glass pieces in bulletproof glass? I watched yesterday video of making it and it was some matte film between layers and then put it in autoclave and it becomes clear.
@@ukuskota4106 most factories use PVB (polyvinyl butyral) when using an autoclave. However, there are new interlayer resin’s that can use a catalyst to adhere layers of glass together without the need of an autoclave.
i like watching your channel. i dont think i could do any better but i have questions. isnt that small piece stronger than a window sized piece will be? if you make a 1.5 foot square glass i dont think it can stop a 308, maybe not even a 762x39. will you make a larger target to test that?
I don't speak English well, so I want you to understand that I used a translator. In this video, the performance of the bulletproof glass you made looks very good. I was surprised that the 3rd bulletproof glass blocked the 7.62x51 bullet. I have a question I want to ask you. Do you use uv resin for high viscosity when using uv resin? Do you use uv resin the center? Do you use uv resin for low viscosity?
@@3RBallisticsjust a suggestion. I think adding a layer of plexiglass as the first or second layer would definitely improve the integrity of it once it’s hit, by keeping the shards and powdered glass in place. This would benefit in situations where it would need to resist multiple hits.
If you take your current 6" panels but stack them in an array to make a 12" panel can you shoot one while still seeing through one which was adjacent to the original shot panel. Like a vest, I could see how several smaller panel could be beneficial.
@@3RBallistics I've heard pressure while curing is also valuable. So perhaps vacuum to get rid of air followed by pressure to make the stuff more dense while it cures.
Hi I've got new idea. Many use concrete tiles in DIY armor. But they are to soft. I spent a lot of time to find what is hardness of granite in Brinell and did't find anything precise. But it definitely harder than concrete tiles. What if use granite or better gabbro or basalt tiles but wrap each tile in fiberglass tightly and cover it with epoxy?
@@3RBallistics I forgot to say about ultra high strength concrete. Megaslab on youtube did testing of it some weeks ago and its interesting. What if to use tiles made of it with backing of UHWPE
@@3RBallistics dang bro honestly I’ve always wanted to learn how to make some myself please let me know if you ever plan on selling this as a product I’d love to put some as car windows
Actually, the hardest glass is made of aluminum oxide. However, ALON (the commercial name) is so expensive it’s definitely not a homemade project I’ll be doing.
loving your work man.
hell ya

Yes, I am planning on modifying the side glass. I already have the samples made.

Yes, I use UV resin in the center and use the lowest viscosity available with good mechanical properties.
Thank you for letting me know!

I like that idea. I might try a build incorporating this idea.
@@3RBallistics also I suggest assembling under a vacuum. Can't get entrapped air if it's under a vacuum. HVAC vacuum pumps are around $200-ish.
@@jaredharvey1511 I’ll definitely give that a try. I have an inexpensive vacuum setup but haven’t used it with glass yet.

11:27 did i saw some Al2O3 or ceramic spheres with 0.2 inch dinameter in polyurethane?
Yes, that’s 8mm Al2O3 spheres in shore A polyurethane
@@3RBallistics another upcoming video on those I'm guessing?
@@kungfugirevik657 those were tests I did in conjunction with @techthisoutmeow. I’m sure if he was ok with it I may upload those videos at some point

I do have an experiment using this idea coming up if I can find all the right materials.

Best to use thin sections of firebrick. The higher alumina content the better.
Is this purchasable by any chance like would there be a way for me to send you the size of my windows and you make some or how would that work
Also how much would it cost as an off the top estimation
@@ElGueroM21 I really only do the testing. I haven’t made any for purchase.

Pure Silicon dioxide glass would be the best, but I don't know where to buy one in sheets😅

@@3RBallistics yes, and it's hard to find in relatively big plates
i commented before the end.
Another idea is to make diy gorilla glass ( aka chemicaly hardened glass) 🥂
Very true. I’ve seen this glass but cost keeps me from really using it. I may use a layer if needed to stop the .50 BMG
@@3RBallistics afaik you can put usual glass in kali nitrate water and chemical reaction of swaping ions will start.
