Last year, an inventor received a £40,000 accelerator grant this year to further develop technology designed to save lives of those inside vehicles hit by road mines.
Roger Sloman is using the funding to build on a three-part concept involving carbon fibre beams, a vehicle floor that pulls away from passengers’ feet and a set of inverse rockets.
In 2020 we went to meet him.

Imagine using the man for content but not linking to his crowd-funding and include URLs to this man in the description
That's a pretty crappy way of treating the guy. No reply or justification from Forces TV?
@@hotradremixlx he literally commented saying he crowdfunds
Pretty unfortunate
doesnt appear he needs or would want the attention. hes got darpa money
@@dominicklittle9828 - Why would he "crowdfund" if he has all the money he needs already (from Darpa for instance)?
"let's blow ourselves up in the other direction"
British barn engineering at it's finest
Ever used noise-cancelling headphones? Same thing.
You don't want to blow up, that's the problem, you want to blow down to counter the bomb effect. It's not complicated, it's just expensive.
Isn’t it very British, Churchill’s funnies continues.
i agree, the structure needed for the car to be "uncrushable" would require tons of metal. Otherwise, it will be like when you crush a can of beer between your leg and floor. If you use half of that metal to build an underplate, it will do the same if not better. If you have the control of those 10ms, why not make the car make a small jump reversing those rockets?! :))) add better suspension, eventually a parachute :)))
Reactive armour plate has been in use for decades.

@@fishsticks8198 Exactly haha. One day it will be 1 millisecond
@@uniquelybleak not exactly. there is a limit to physics and how far technology can push that. fighting against basically gorilla warfare units won't have this at their disposal. therefor these simple bombs will always have a point of where nothing happens
@@blooiefps9304 Agreed. Improvised explosives are cheap and kill quickly. More advanced weaponry may kill more quickly but will certainly not be nearly as cheap.

“It’s just physics”. What a man
The doors burst open on the explosion. Imagine a mans head in that explosion. Half the solution. The other half is force redirection.

.2 seconds after i aswered her question... cause it just is. Dont get me wrong, brilliant idea. Fragilr, but brilliant. Never been to war but i can understand a soldier trusting a big armoured v shape more then a bunch of gizmos. Specially in desert or tropics. But it is just physics, counter acting the force applied to the vehicle. Basic enginering 👌. Why didnt i come up with something like this!? Have to say was suprised about the rocket on the roof though. Sturdy vehicle.
OK one question how often can you use this anti mine system
Soldiers and flesh win battles, engineering and logistics win wars. Bless this man.

@@LaughLounge11 That surprises me. Do they wear headphones at all in these vehicles for comms purposes. maybe that would stop the pressure.
@@ianmontgomery7534 i doubt everyone wear headsets, headphones of some sort but i think they do have a headset inside the vehicle for the radio (for long distance calls i think, mainly for intel and support) and use a walkie talkie for everyone in a firefight. i'm explaing in a logical way and that's all i could think of.
Many of my friends would be alive today if this technology had existed 10 years ago.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed support and raised some useful discussion points as a result of this interview from Forces TV. We were happy to have provided the video and an overview of our ground vehicle protection solution which will hopefully soon start to save lives and reduce casualties both amongst the armed forces and civilians whom have to work in the many areas around the world which have been decimated by war in the past.
If you wish to be a part of this technology moving forward, then we have now launched a fund-raising campaign on Seedrs and there is more information and videos on our own ABBS channel.
Sir,
First, I must say I do believe your invention deserves a medal, as it will save lives of our military personnel. Secondly, for you to spend most of those retired days for the betterment of mankind deserves nothing less than an honor of the highest degree.
Thank you.

Almost like reactive armour,in a sense, using counteracting forces to null each out, I imagine the thumbs down are Al Qeada lurkers
Im not a terrorist for disliking and that makes no sense. More like thumbs down because I do not believe it works. the doors are blown open and the test dummies are not present in his demonstrations+ more.
Almost guaranteed those soldiers are dead, if not from the blast wave directed into the floor then through the occupants then the heatwave and other forces and I 100% promise the way that force is directed they are hurting. This is also based on the idea that there wouldnt be multiple IEDs they would be facing, and further, this may allow for any penetrating rounds (like rpgs) into the body of the vehicle to get captured more easily thus presenting more danger to the soldiers aboard.
The only thing I hate more than those trying to kill our soldiers in these scenarios- is snake oil salesman-inventors.
@@zacklastname2362 you have to understand its not promised to save their lives. What hes trying to do is stop the vehicle from being tipped over, or the bottom from caving. Thats what kills most often.
@@zacklastname2362 dont forget these are just initial prototypes. They will be much more development
@@zacklastname2362 I think the term snake oil salesman is completely unwarranted, it’s clear the man has devoted his professional life to this sort of thing, hardly a flyby nighter. You can disagree with his theory, don’t insult the man, he has clearly earned his Spurs.

As an ex soldier that had to live with this possibility at times this is a god send and would do more to make the diggers lives safer than any amount of armour or sniffer dogs when moving from place to place the SAS etc would love this little trick added to their vehicles especially even if it is only a one time escape it can be refitted each time and if it saved o9bne life or prevented one serious injury it would be worth its cost
Really, didn't the diggers murder defenceless villagers in Afghanistan?
@@otablott7779 They are in a war where the enemy is hiding among civilians, also if they shot just to murder innocents, why would they later save several Villagers who were wounded in the raid? I think it must have been a mistake caused by the chaos.

At first thought about rocket motors when he said the car would get thrown up in the air, but thought it was dumb, ineffective, single use, would not activate up in time, expensive, the floor would buckle instead, I was wrong
But what are you going to do about the shockwave hitting the personnel's ears
@@RENO_K In an ideal world, they'd be wearing hearing protection that could minimize the damage. If the vehicle doors and stuff could be sealed well enough, it might be possible to dampen the sound greatly also.
It's honestly just not practical to produce. The military has many inventions they have funded and not funded that didn't make it...it's not practical to produce this invention yet. The guy is onto something..but it needs to change a bit. Be a shame this guy goes his whole life pushing one thing that never flys.
@@RENO_K Considering the statement made about people drowning, that tells me people already survived the initial explosion.
This is not about eliminating a threat, it's about reducing it, and mitigating factors that can be.
Then again never be so arrogant as to believe that you invented something unique. Others probably got there first, just the time wasn't right or they were not successful in finding a market. But there's a reason so many Nobel science prizes are shared. Heck even Nylon is named as it is because it was invented in New York and London at the same time :)
Beung from the North of Ireland, which is a place intimately familiar with explosions, I thought the man was a raving lunatic when he said that a land rover could be made to withstand huge I.E.Ds without a fundamental overhaul of the entire design.
Blast physics are incredibly complex, however this fine man tries to say otherwise, and to come up with the materials and products which could save countless lives through such a magnificent applications of science is amongst the most noble of ventures.
God bless this man.

Stay. Away from our research
Stop starting war. that saves lives!!!
Having seen a *Land Rover* being thrown in the air after detonating an IED makes me nervous. It's enought to completely change my mindset on how dangerous IED's are.
I've seen footage of things many times larger than a Land Rover hurled into the air. There's footage of a 60 ton M1 Abrams being thrown 10-15 feet upwards by one. IEDs are nasty things, not just toe poppers, can put any amount of HE wherever you wish really.
@@Retrosicotte Oh my! an M1 Abrams? Asymetric warfare is really a nasty business.
There's a reason they were pulled out of afghan and the MOD tried to cover up just how useless the Land rovers were.
But would the crew survive?Not much point if not,Land Rovers are ten a penny,crew,not so
@@jarradk174 land rovers aren’t completely useless, like all military equipment they have an specific application or purpose.
Fighting asymmetrical warfare against insurgents who are a fan of boom boom rather bang bang is however correctly not one of those for a Land Rover WMIK.
The failure on the part of the government at the time was not to get Warrior AFVs in quickly enough once it became apparent the stand up fighting tactics had changed to IED campaigns.

The only problem is that once a system like this rolls out, the enemy will find a way to defeat it, such as a small charge that will activate the rockets, followed by the main charge once the rockets have already gone off.
Yes or just stop using normal charges and start using shaped charges that blasts a hole in the belly plate and kills the passengers inside.
Perhaps it should be top-secret. Once the concept is known to the potential enemy it is possible to defeat it.
@@witkocaster stops being top secret once they see a car survive the explosion anyways. There will always be someone observing what is happening

As someone who has seen the effects of an IED, if this is implemented and saves lives, then this man truly deserves all the accolades and at least a knighthood! Also make sure it's patented and make some brass out of it.
The Rhodesian army dealt with IEDs by developing a vehicle they called, I believe, a Rhino. It had a V-shaped bottom high off the ground, and the interior had a lining of conveyor belting, loosely secured to catch shrapnel flying around inside the vehicle.
Never underestimate the power of the Shed. Just watched another British inventor who has invented an engine that runs on air for fuel !
Where did you see the video
You may want to learn about thermodynamics, system efficiency and potential energy. There's a lot of hoax vids out there about perpetual motion machines and what not. Once you're armed with the knowledge of physics you'd be able to spot them immediately.

Keong Yip.
My Brain hurts literally, that was a very old concept that was tested back in 1960’s that discovered that explosives without a physical projectile can’t do well against curved surfaces cuz of the force dispersement cuz the lower curve with be mostly the thickest part so it doesn’t collapse in and the force would push to the sides were it will also push the force from the another two sides out, changing the direction from up/90 to 50 or 45 out wards of the car or even a boat but the can’t handle it cuz boats can’t be heavy so it can float and the water will act as a flat surface if anything explodes under it, back to land vehicles, and why did the US didn’t use this idea if it was affective? Cuz there apc’s are not designed to have the curve under plate for it, so they need to change a lot of things just to add that/waste money from the MBT programs, so it was canceled, but after years NOW they rediscovered it and it only took 50+ years!
IED: I kill by going boom upwards
Some British guy: Ok so I made something that’ll go boom but downwards
IED:
shaped charge from anti-tank hand grenade flying over vehicle: Oh hai - where's your god now? When you want it dead there's ALWAYS some way to kill it. We humans are sneaky like that.
"It's just pure physics" :D well done sir i couldn't have said it better myself.

Great video love to hear more from this bloke
Why does it take some gentleman like this ( no disrespect) to invent this. Haven't we got experts working 24/7 on how we keep are men and women as safe as possible
sometimes its difficult to think of outside of the box solutions when you have budget and management constraints. A huge amount of military development comes from private companies and single individuals rather then government/MOD groups. Also you could say this gentleman is the expert since he's leading in this segment, and the gov just buy/invest in his product.
Inspiration isn't something money can buy
@@Alucard-gt1zf honestly your completely correct I find it disappointing whose job it was to defeat these IED devices didn't come up with something like this. It almost looks like explosive reactive armour but for under the vehicle. Our men and women are our most precious resource and our armed forces aren't huge, every one of our personnel should know we've given them tools to do the job.
@@Saint_Vincent1735 You're not wrong, but the efforts to protect our soldiers has been strong, its just the approach chosen has just been different from this solution. The development of entirely new vehicles has been funded and has been effective in protecting its occupants. V-shaped hulls, blast seats and high ground clearance have been proven to work in combat. No one has been ignoring or downplaying the threat of IED's, hence the transition from unarmoured land rovers to specially designed armoured vehicles in recent years
@Adam Noble i wouldn't think budget is the main problem considering the USA has a military budget of 600 Billion dollars a year 7 million doesn't sound too bad. I know we're talking about the UK but I believe if this was as good as its made out to be they would of had designs already made and prototyped.
Give him a medal
that is just awesome! We gotta get this tech ready and deployed asap
“It’s just, pure, physics.” 👌🏼
nope its fake. how is there 10ms for reaction? Math does not add up. Those are supersonic. So there will be more like 3s or less.

That over pressure with no where to go is gonna turn your insides to jelly
Looks good but I bet its denied on cost. If the army was that worried about the lives of its soldiers it would look after them better when they leave. Probably someone will sit in an office and work out its cheaper to train 4 lads for 12 months and a regular land rover than one of these modified vehicles. Its all money unfortunately.
I take it the 22 people who didn't like this are not...erm, well how should I put this, not fans of the British Army?
Probably
isn´t this called "reactive armor" and is around since the 80`s
nope, reactive armour explodes into the incoming warheads. this is a counter force for IEDs/mines under the vehicle
Yeah, as the other comment mentioned, reactive armor is armor which detonates when a projectile impacts it. Generally, only the part of the armor in direct contact with the projectile detonates, and that detonation serves to break up and bleed energy off of the projectile. This is very different for a number of reasons. It isn't armor at all; it's an electronically actuated system that applies force to the vehicle, whereas reactive armor is just a compound with no electrical system. Also, reactive armor works almost exclusively against projectiles, while this appears to work only against blasts.
That being said, I'm extremely skeptical about this idea. It involves effectively doubling the force of the explosion, and unless there's a LOT more to the "carbon fiber reinforced belly plate" it's absolutely silly to think that carbon fiber can even begin to approach the blast resistance of a higher, bowed hull that has the benifit of not being forced down INTO the explosion.
"I used the explosion to destroy the explosion."
Lets fix this lazyness. Roger's company is ABBS. His funding support is on crowdcube. As of today it is still open (13days). I cannot provide urls as youtube takes my comments down.
So now the Taliban and co know exactly how to counteract this move....Great job 👏
Love seeing the new ideas. Just don't know how appropriate it is to tell all your secrets to the enemy.
5:40 imagine accidentally fitting this too a radiator in your house
"Plumbers HATE Him! Watch how he defies conventional radiators with this one simple trick!"
to, not too
That conjures up a pretty hilarious image!
This guy definitely deserves ATTENTION.
He seems old , hope his invention don't go to waste.
Ok, I understand everything put in place, but I still don't think this will work, because the displacement of the air in the cabin. Think of it as putting earplugs in, then "thunder clapping" your ears. Doing this could blow your eardrums and burst your capillaries. Shoot you dont have to thunder clap to do that, shooting a 556 rifle has done it in the past. With that said. Imagine what a 6kg explosive can do to the human body thats in the cabin.
TLDR: yes the vehicle is safe, but will it really prevent internal bleeding?
These seem great for standard landmines, but comparing it to the American use of a wedge on the MRAPs is apples to oranges. Those are designed to protect heavy vehicles from shaped charges (penetrators), whereas this guys system is for designed to protect light vehicles from the concussive force of (standard?) land mines.
Not knocking his design, it's brilliant, just wondering why the Brits can't stop themselves from trying to compare everything they do to the American military.

Vehicle damage is not an issue...If a mine explodes...Do you know the situation of a soldier inside the vehicle ?
His bones starts breaking and ear drum bangs out and what not ?
It's easy to these kind of child play inventions...
put some energetic charges underneath, believe it or not, rockets/charges can cause a huge reduction of pressure when the inertia of the specifically directed gasses evacuates the area
Modern day Barnes Wallace inventing in his shed. Well done Sir!
Ah yes, the "Wheezers and Dodgers" with the great panjandrum and Bangalore torpedo and much else.
Met Barnes Wallace once at an Effingham school event. Somehow surprised at how normal a person he was.
The soldiers surviving these attacks have been going home and finding years later that they have internal bleeding from the shockwave
Or inflammation of the brain causing depression and PTSD or their body no longer produces testosterone because of the shockwaves that hit their nuts.
With all due respect imo it is a choice for soldiers to go home in bodybags or small boxes containing their body parts or coming home alive albeit with the possibility later that some of their body function will be affected....imo the later will win over the former for the simple reason that death is certain the other one can have remedy....
@@donntabale2054 whether we admit it or not dieing on a battlefield is viewed by a fighters friends & families as a heros death you will forever be remembered as young and tough, but there is something psychological about seeing someone or being the one whose body/mind fails them leaving them shells of them former selves is not how I'd want to be remembered
@@kiwihunter3476 i agree with u 100% because we seldom see heroes walking with us, it is always those who died in the battlefield for whatever cause ur country may have that are automatically granted that privilege of being called hero, but coming home alive does not diminished the stature of a soldier just because he/she came home walking and not in a coffin, eventually when that soldier dies sooner or later he will also be accorded that 21 gun salute in honor for his service and join the ranks of his fellow soldiers who died in battle as heroes....
Brit: Well, we developed a new tech to protect our vehicles.
Taliban: Send that here we will give you proof that your another new tech miserably fail and you wasted billions of tax dollars.
Really nice.
But I got two questions though..
1. What would be the sensing device to detect the detonation; and to do so early enough?
2. What would be the effect on the vehicle and on the occupants if the rockets were to fire falsely when there was actually no IED detonation?
How is it possible for this man to have to launch a crowd funder to find money for this? Seems like the military and the government would jump with joy to see this in place?
This man might have found a way to save thousands of life’s in the future
