Also known as bulk metallic glass. A lot of micro kinematic structures are made from it.

If I coat myself in this, & someone punches me, do they punch themselves?

So, vibranium?

If you're going to repost like a fag, at least have the decency to pick something old.

but i not see dis

Now use this on the bumpers of the cars!

JohmBambo
now cover the ball bearing with same material!

Tim! Highly recommend his Youtube channel!

It bounces an incredible *number* of times. Not an "amount" of times. That would be like "it bounced a bucketfull of times ..."

Hello, Satan. Mind if I sit next to you?
CuddleswithoutBubbles
I do think it would also make the long jump more interesting as well
gunnsgalore
I wonder if that would have an application in space craft
IamNotAnAlien
it is cool and all but what are the practical applications I wonder
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
Is the ball bearing coated as well?
StonedRain
Inquiring minds want to know

"And what a performance. Wow."
Flyith2
That's cool as hell
FullMetalloidAlchemist
So they covered it in that Flubber lotion from the old Robin Williams movie of the same name. I miss Robin Williams...
KilgoreCarp
Congratulations, you've invented Flubber.
RMaybeth
Now coat the top of engine pistons with this! and maybe if you do it all right, you can get 500 miles from a gallon gasoline.Not a long walk
thehoff91
these comments are garbage. Why hasn't anyone used this and applied it towards useable energy,

What a performance. WOW.

I love his videos. It's like having a cool grandfather instead of an alcoholic one.

What's his name?

I can relate to this comment

Used to use them to help me sleep

Or a dead one

Could that be used to repel a bullet? Like coat armor plating in it
RMaybeth
Condoms! It'd do half the work for you

TLDR: no.

I'd imagine that it would work like a trampoline when the fat people jump on it. Large force, small point. Plus he said it's liquid metal.
AnEvenDirtierSmellierHippy
Some research has been done, and perhaps at appropriate thickness, current test used 3mm sheet, which bullets penetrated.
PaintedSlate
Makes sense. Getting heated during physical contact isn't what leads to penetration.

I feel like you want someone to make a sex joke, but I'm not going to give you the pleasure.

That explains what I'm doing wrong

However it does produce a force in the opposite direction, which could be interesting if many layers were placed on top of each other.
Woodmn
I would imagine you would want to use it as a 2nd/3rd line of defence so you dont have bullets going in every direction in a firefight.

Glassy metals are much harder, but their failure mode is dramatic breaking with no signs of yielding prior. Source: my Sr. physics paper
Aaronb1138
Best to layer them with typical ductile metals, similar to "hybrid" ceramic-metal plates used on tanks.
CrackFiendNamedBob
What applications does it have?
bendingmoment
This is an illustration of a hard material that does not absorb much energy upon impact (minimal elastic deformation). Many ceramics (1)
bendingmoment
are like that and can be used for many application where you want high strength in performance (engine parts, space shuttle tiles, etc) (2)
bendingmoment
However, with enough force, such materials will fail catastrophically (shatter), so there's that. Source: I am a Materials Engineer

Ok, so there's the Blue Paint. Where is the Red?
PianoMan2112
You're not part of the control group, by the way. You get the gel. Last poor son of a gun got blue paint. Hahaha. All joking aside, that did

Oh, in case you get covered in the repulsion hell, here's some advice the lab boots have me: do not get covered in the repulsion gel.
