kaini Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 http://techfragments.com/news/438/Science/...Body_Armor.html IBM has filed a patent (US 7484451) for Bionic Body Armor, that could essentially allow us to dodge bullets like Neo in The Matrix. The armor would scan areas for incoming projectiles and when one is detected the system would deliver a shock to the muscles causing a swift reflexive action away from the projectile. Here's what the patent describes the body armor as: fucking idm as fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triachus Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 cool, but is it resistant against BEARS? troy hurtubise's bear-resistant suit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Hurtubise One day after enrolling in a college program (November 1987), Hurtubise experienced an epiphany while watching RoboCop in his college dorm, one which led to the Ursus series of protective suits. He decided to build a research suit that would be strong enough to survive a close encounter without harming the occupant. Such a robo-bear suit would allow him to search for bears, and answer important questions such as: would pepper spray work in the field? What is bear behaviour in the den like? What are the signs of agitation, such as jaw popping, the dance on the front feet, slobbering, roaring? It is possible to study these signs at a distance, but Hurtubise wanted to see them from the bear's perspective. no wait, the bullet-dodging bionic one is actually indeed much more idm (and useful) but will it look just as cool as the anti-bear one? it will be hard to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
