How They Make Fabric Stop a Bullet

Описание: It is thinner than a t-shirt. But stack enough layers and it catches a bullet moving at nine hundred meters per second. Not steel. Not ceramic. Woven thread.

This is the full story — how a chemist accidentally created the strongest fiber ever made, how that fiber gets spun and woven into sheets thinner than cardboard, and how those sheets absorb the energy of a supersonic projectile without breaking apart. The science of why softness beats hardness when a bullet hits fabric at three times the speed of sound.

THE PROCESS reveals how everyday things are actually made. New videos every week.
