Do you think his armour could help better protect soldiers from bombs?

The bags are very bulky.A demo of them inside are real vehicle may not hold as much strength.Interesting to see if they can be developed small enough to be useful in the field without turning the vehicle into a bubble car.

firstly the armour he used firstly was designed for anti bear stuff and secodnly when does a bear carry a flame thrower?
anyway he solved it with that fire proof material.
the pads would be effective on a new design i mean nothing short of an tank would stop it.
imagine many pannels of them all around the tank, so what its bulky it will keep you safe.
also the anti bear suit i think he was just testing out some ideas of armour hell if you needed to see a bear close up and wanted to surivie use that.
anyway why would you wear a block??
he was just showing that this could be made operational this is only the test stage.
i mean people laughed at the tank but it was practical and worked (some of the time) then caught on.

If you need to see a bear up close get a vet to drug it first.Wrestling one not much point in that.So therefore suit total waste of time.Unless you can think of anyother purpose getting hit very hard serves
My point on the fire issue was the guy doesn`t think to well because you wouldn`t set fire to a suit unless you thought it was safe,if he thought that was safe then he does have a few screws loose
As for the tank they have already sorted the problem with much more advanced technology plus the other problem is once you develop a new defeance somebody will always develop a countermeasure or a weapon to beat that form of defence so nothing is every 100%
He wasn`t testing operationally only that the material cannot be penertrated.Do you really think this guy on his budget has beaten the Americans,British with there defeance research bugets this was probably developed years ago and shelved due to inpracticalities.To cover a vehicle in those thick blockes would ridicules and impossible
really my head is in my but? hmm alot of questions spring to mind but the most obvios one would be why?
what use is it drugged if you want to see how they hunt/live etc ? " oh wow its ....its still breatheing wow this has great scientific importance"
so nature study people have no purpose for it and should continue to run a high risk of being eaten?
he didnt know if it was, he was testing it.
also yeah but its the fact it works most of the time that counts.
firstly the many civilain ideas have worked in the military. the military isnt ahead and has thought of everything first.
also did the military think up the engine? did they think up the plane? did they think up the ship?all answers no
if the military has thought of everything then how can they create new things.
and the fact he was pointing out that those small blocks do protect against damage and are smaller and lighter than the same amount of armour and probably cheaper too.
as Cryptosapien said it would be used to line vehicles not put on the outside.
also we're talking about how this would be used Cryptosapien , not to make us look smart.
the military bring in civie companies all the time to make thier equipment.
one man can make a diffrence.

We no everything we need to no about bears.Tyr watch those nature programs by people who invented remote cameras and high power lenses.Do you think a bear will act natural around a guy looking like the Michelin Man
If he didn`t now it wasn`t fire proof surely he could have set fire to it without wearing it firstIf you test a bullet proof vest that your not sure is bullet proof you shoot at it first without wearing it Same with fire NO
When it comes to developing Military equipment they tend to be the first.And l never stated they have developed everything.He has only developed an idea that is in use today in a more practical use but with less protection sure but it is because of practicalities that cause restrictions not lack of ideas.If you gave every soilder that bear suit with the pads attached no soilder would every get killed but you would be able to fight in it or move for that matter.
They may be lighter but they are a least 15-20 thicker than Kevlar plates.Even in the body work of a vehicle they will dramatically increase the vehicles size.
