I watch your show where you bomb proofed a building. It also protected the bed of a truck. It seems to me that you could spray the liner on the floor, firewall, and in the doors of the Humvees. The bed of the truck didn't even look like it had a tear in it. Maybe it did but it still held up.
See if it could make the vehicle bullet and bomb resistant. The doors on the Humvee are fiberglass. The floors are aluminum. It also has a skid pan under the passenger's front and back. It is aluminum on the civilian version but may be steel on the military version. Also spray it on the under carrage and on the skid pans.
Anything you can think of to resist RPG's expecialy. Could save the lives of American Hero's, our military.
And maybe even carbon fiber moulded over the fiber glass doors before spraying the liner.
Sprayed on the outside of the vehicle too, could be colored to camoflouge.
they are obviously not all that smart or at are not very good any any for of execution, but this EP at least had some potential.
The structure here should have been built like a building would have been... support, wood beams, dry wall...etc.
the windows should have been bullet proof or have wire mess through them.
the shutter idea was too simple. there are far better techniques that could have been used, but i suppose that should have been left up to real engineers.
I understand that they took an approach of taking on any excisting building. but they should have taken an approach of, built to withstand, and found that limit.
what would that army do?
there are applications, and sure, some stupid rich people might like to try this on their mansions while its being built too, while not making it look like it is bomb proof.
I would like a see a follow up EP, but with the mythbusters crew taking this test out on a car, with someone inside.
I appears that Smash Lab has opened up in a number of foreign markets. Let's hope they can pull it together! Frankly, if they don't after the response they received, they deserve the trash bin.
Personally, I'm not in to Mythbusters but it is darn good TV! Hopefully, just as Smash Lab should be working on their presentation and production - Mythbusters will be working on their themes and science content, and getting away from the whole pseudo-myth, movie special-effects genre.
'Will confess to having taken a couple of jabs at Mythbusters, but many of the myth-freakies (independently of the Mythbusters themselves) who were posting here were being brutally mean and nasty, and it was sort of compelling to get the message across that this wasn't a risk-free game.
