I Made Ballistic Glass that Fires Back (+World's First Bulletproof Play Button)

[@CrashMakerspace]

For those curious what the knuckle shot looked like after my hands warmed up, my X has a tiny behind-the-scenes at the end of the Short Post on this topic. Just a little bit of running, but got flagged for * sensitivecontent * x.com/crashmakerspace

[@TuckerDale89]

Autonomous glass: You shoot at it and it shoots back

[@drcorvus5327]

You should put the glass on a Altyn helmet

[@michakasprzak6869]

In pursuit of making a bulletproof glass, bro made a material that returns fire...

RIGHT?? Im surprised more people aren’t talking about this. He was also hit in his hand by the ricochet and took it like an absolute champ 😳

[@CrashMakerspace]

I appreciate you man! It’s a ton of time for sure but I’m grateful for the following that has started 😊

[@chadbracken]

Nah bro, that outro was ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[@mayomayo4399]

This is absolutely awesome dude! Keep up the great work!

[@CrashMakerspace]

Thanks man! Will be keeping on 💯

[@k7l3rworkman97]

Dang, hit in the knuckle by ricochet and was barely phased 😳 You’re a Boss. Hope your alright

[@CrashMakerspace]

Basically just a cut is all!

[@soulin11]

This material needs a cool name! after brainstorming together with a friend(and asking chatgpt) we have narrowed the list down 1. "Ballistic Deflective Optical Shield (BDOS)" because it emphasizes the material's ability to deflect ballistic objects while being optically clear and reminds me of DDOS. 2. "Transparent Impact Reflection Polymer (TIRP)" because it describes the material's transparency and ability to reflect impacts (such as bullets), it´s a polymer and i like the Tirpitz. 3. "Kinetic Impact Reflection Layer (KIRL)" because it´s a straightforward name for a material that reflects kinetic energy impacts, with the "layer" suggesting it's a thin, protective sheet.

[@johnbenson3024]

Seems like a good faceplate visor option, still stops the smaller rounds and that would be far enough away from you that the back deformation shouldn’t hurt you

[@AverageTea.]

Congrats bro. Also, thats creative ear protection. Next stop 1MIL

[@CrashMakerspace]

1M subs would be insane!

[@jacefisher1087]

Dude, love this!! Keep making stuff like this! Also, you should totally try Rhode Wireless PRO mics. I'm not sponsored by them or anything, but I think it could really add to your video to give it a crisper sound. Plus, it's Bluetooth, which could help outdoors when you're doing your projects. Either way, love the content, and keep pursuing your goals, man!!!

[@CrashMakerspace]

Haha, I’ll have to check that option out for the audio. Thanks for following along with the projects!

[@movmakerNeo]

good for you keeping that "rough" outro, was hilarious!

[@CrashMakerspace]

haha, I'm happy that you & others have been enjoying that!

[@MJTVideos]

Having acrylic first is also better because instead of plasticly deforming, it shatters which transfers energy without pushing out the back, allowing the pc to better deform and catch the shattered materials. Perhaps a glass layer before would be even better since it shatters easier

[@ChillyCows]

What you're doing is impressive keep it up bud!!

[@URBOIPHONE]

It's so sad seeing the playbuttons so small, you deserve the normal sized one

[@the.other.ian.]

Pretty rude to call a man's play button small, my dude.

[@besh7408]

In the future I’d recommend a firing rig, if that round came back a little bit higher and hit something more squishy it could have done a lot of damage

[@PCBWay]

That's SOMETHING!👍

You really should get some kind of cover. You could also shoot from further away if possible to minimize risk.

After seeing your reply ("spinal battery V2 "video) i watched your bullet proof steel armor panels video and they amazed me with the results --- So here’s how the Crashmakerspace steel armor panels will be integrated into the suit detailed for each section: --- 1. Upper Body (Chest, Back, Shoulders) Material: Crashmakerspace steel armor panels reinforced with a carbide-lattice core for shock absorption. Coverage: Chest and Back: Full steel panel coverage over vital organs, layered beneath the Dyneema and ceramic composite outer shell. Shoulders: Curved steel panels designed for maximum ballistic protection while maintaining a range of motion. Flexibility Solution: Segmented steel plates with overlapping edges allow some flexibility while maintaining coverage. --- 2. Lower Body (Abdomen, Hips, Thighs) Material: Steel panels integrated with titanium alloy reinforcements for lightweight durability. Coverage: Abdomen and Hips: Plates are shaped to follow the body’s contours, ensuring protection without restricting bending or twisting. Thighs: Steel panels are articulated to provide maximum protection while allowing walking, running, and kneeling movements. --- 3. Arms (Upper and Forearm) Material: Thinner steel panels to reduce weight while maintaining multi-hit resistance. Coverage: Upper Arms: Plate coverage from shoulder to elbow, shaped to maintain natural arm movement. Forearms: Steel panels designed to handle impacts from close-range threats, such as slashes or blunt force. --- 4. Legs (Knees, Shins) Material: Hardened steel panels with energy-dispersing layers. Coverage: Knees: Steel knee caps integrated with energy-absorbing gel for shock mitigation. Shins: Full-length steel panels with reinforced edges to protect against ballistic threats and blunt impacts. --- 5. Joints (Shoulders, Elbows, Knees) Design Consideration: Joints are left free of rigid steel panels to ensure full mobility. Instead, Dyneema with graphene-infused composite layers will provide flexibility and lightweight protection. Energy-absorbing gel padding is added to protect against blunt force trauma. --- 6. Helmet Material: Multi-layer steel frame for head and facial protection. Design: Modular steel plates cover critical areas, integrated with titanium for weight reduction. Steel-reinforced visor frame supports the polycarbonate reinforced with graphene or acrylic layers visor, ensuring impact resistance. --- Layer Integration Outer Layer: polycarbonate reinforced with graphene or acrylic layers + ceramic composite shell. Middle Layer: Crashmakerspace’s steel armor panels. Inner Layer: Dyneema for lightweight flexibility and comfort. Backface Coating: Titanium alloy with self-healing polyurethane for added durability. --- If you introduce a support system to transfer the majority of the suit's weight to the torso rig, it can significantly improve usability by redistributing the load and reducing strain on the arms and legs. Here's how that would impact the suit's weight distribution and usability: --- Support System Concept 1. Torso Rig Design: A reinforced exoskeleton frame that supports the upper body, designed with lightweight but strong materials like titanium alloy or graphene composites. The rig anchors the suit's weight, acting as a central support to offload stress from the arms and legs. 2. Weight Transfer Mechanism: Suspension Straps: Adjustable, load-bearing straps distribute weight evenly across the shoulders and hips. Dynamic Joint Linkages: Articulated linkages at the hips and shoulders allow smooth movement without compromising flexibility. Energy-Absorbing Padding: Built-in gel layers reduce shock and improve comfort. 3. Battery-Assisted Actuation (Optional): Lightweight actuators in the torso rig can assist in movement, particularly for heavy lifting or combat scenarios. --- Weight Redistribution Benefits The torso rig would carry 60-70% of the total weight, reducing the burden on other parts of the body. The effective perceived weight of the suit on the user would drop to: Arms and Legs: 5-10 kg. Torso (via Rig): 12-20 kg, depending on the design and materials. --- Revised Perceived Weight With the support system, the user would feel a total effective weight of 17-20 kg, even though the suit's actual weight remains 20-30 kg. This approach retains the suit's protection and mobility while significantly improving wearability in combat or extended missions. Key Advantages Superior ballistic resistance due to Crashmakerspace’s proven steel panels. Retains flexibility in joints for mobility in combat scenarios. Enhanced durability for repeated impacts from heavy calibers (e.g., .300 Winchester Magnum). --- While the suit could likely stop an extreme level of strength at close range (50 BMG ,338 Lapua Magnum) round from penetrating, preventing the blunt force trauma would require additional advanced padding or shock-absorbing materials. It’s a balance of making the suit capable of stopping high-caliber rounds while still maintaining lightweight and flexible characteristics. --- Let me know if that design is good or 🫤

[@johnbenson3024]

I think that weight is going to surprise you with how much it’ll inhibit movement. No boots precludes a weight managing exoskeleton, and no plan for limb assist motors. The limb assist is much more optional but if you can manage to run a support to the torso rig to carry most of the weight you’ll find a lot more success with it

[@nbnation2725]

Do you think the outside temperature could've changed the way the panel took the shot? Do you have plans to test the material at various temperatures?

I think if it was left out there long it would have made it more brittle (it was 7 degrees that morning)

Pretty Awesome!! (On multiple levels) 😂You get a KZbin reward plaque & find a way to shoot it, as a celebration 😂 that's hilarious! 👍💪 🤔 on another level... Im wondering if Butyl tape would of been a more productive means then using the rubber layer to block vibrational frequencies between the metal & glass. It would of been more of a sticky pain in the ass, but 🤷‍♂️ maybe something worth look into regarding those properties - to figure out if it would be of benefit &/or worth it.
