so the ak 47 was shooting mild steel core rounds?consider that not even regular lvl 3 panels are rated to stop that.if you were using regular ball ammo with a lead core it probably wouldve stopped it reliably.also you could try reducing the fiberglass thickness but double up on the ceramic tiles.
I like your process I know it’s been a long time since you did this. I replicated your process only I changed two steps.1) I applied the layers of fiber glass then placed them in a vacuum chamber2) I used a 40ton press to allow the epoxy to harden under a great deal of pressure. One day I will get a place to shoot and film the results I hope they are as successful as yours.
Excellent job! Stopping an AK47 at 15 meters with inexpensive materials is very impressive! My suggestion... use only 36 layers and add another sheet of tile, inside the layers. Perhaps after 24 layers. Seal with resin.
Very interesting work, would love to experiment, but do not have any access to firearms. I think it would be interesting to encapsulate the tiles in glass fibre and perhaps put the curing fg under far more pressure/ vacuum suction? A tip to bond steel sheet would be to perhaps try windscreen bonder with the correct primers this is a very important part of the process.
An idea to improve performance, though increasing size and weight, would be to utilise 2 staggered layers of tile, and sandwiching them between further layers of Fibreglass. This will allow for greater chances of stopping faster projectiles such as common rifle rounds.
Very cool video and experiment. Seems like even the steel plate and ceramic by itself does a good job of dealing with the normal street gang bulllets. The best part is, you would be able to drive out of danger before they realize their shot are not getting through
You should do a double layer of ceramic tile, so that the gaps of one over lap the center of the layer under it, I hope you can make sense of what I am suggesting
Very nice experiment with real world application. Will be making some 2 tile layer plates with denim and fiberglass composite for testing with 22lr up to 45ACP first. Then work my way up to rifle calibers.
Great. NOW Dynex or Rihno Line it and it will stop the rest. As well as add a silicone layer on both before . The bolted together one should be a better option with the ceramic. Now for personal just subtract the difference and you are ready for the SHTF. 👍✌
This is very exciting! You had the genius to try out some of the ideas I've had before, and mixed them in a creative way I haven't though of or attempted. Nice
Have you thought about trying to make body armour too? I imagine it's much harder to make something that's light and gives normal mobility but keeps you alive after being shot, would probably help with your vehicle armour as you'll learn things from trying both and you can expand from it.
+Kosta Milovanovic Yes I did and at some point I'll make one. At the moment I'm lacking money and time, but in the summer I'll probably have them both so I can make it happen.
They say "velocity is king" when trying to penetrate armor...maybe if you add a cheap, but thick and soft layer after your ceramic "disruptor" layer and before the final steel layer, to slow down the bullets before they hit the steel. Anyway, thank you for making this video, very informative, i look forward to seeing what you come up with next! (If you can make something that defeats 5.56 mm, 55 gr out of a 22 inch barrel, that would be the gold standard of armor!) liking and subscribing!
Seriously cool stuff! Next time, how about a body armor test as well? It probablu won't stand up to quite as much, but keeping the armor light while still effective is a much greater chalenge, if you are up fore it that is :)
Fiberglass is poor vs rifle rounds. You need over an inch of it, and it ends up weighing about the same as an AR500 steel plate that stops the same round.
Thank you for the videos. You say the steel (& tiles? I forgot) was enough to stop most rounds by itself but I would argue that if it didn't have the support of the fiber glass it wouldn't have done as good a job.
Use a harden'd steel plate on the outward plate fill in inside with some hard plaster material put in some tungsten carbide plates in there space them out and have the back panel as a softer steel.
Anybody that makes Armour 5 inches thick can stop bullets set I could stack paper 5 in thick and probably stop most pistols why don't you try to make it a lot left stick and see if you get the same results
So, I've been wondering how well these body armors not only stop a bullet (easily visualized by eye afterwards - pass-through or rear indents, etc), but also how well they stop the bullet's energy from being transmitted directly to my chest - breaking ribs, etc. In your next experiment, how about adding padding to the BACK of the whole thing, to minimize the final force transmission to ME? Maybe try a yoga mat backing or other foam materials for the backing? That force can be measured with a number of devices, from really cheap, to rather expensive. See various options for those devices here: www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk02BVUilrEmeRsNa51J3sPJeMi5D0w%3A1588892918250&ei=9pS0XvrjDsLG-gTFr6WwDA&q=device+to+measure+impact+force&oq=device+to+measure+force+of+impact&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQARgBMgUIABDNAjIFCAAQzQIyCAgAEM0CEIsDOgQIABBHOgcIIxCwAhAnOgYIABAHEB46BggAEAgQHjoICAAQBxAFEB46BAghEApQzaQBWMnFAWCd8gFoAHACeACAAXyIAdYMkgEENi4xMJgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXq4AQM&sclient=psy-ab
My friend you need to put the tiles on the back & the fiberglass on the front. It will double as a 'spalling' capture & the little bits from fragmented bullets will not penetrate also it slows the round considerably before it gets to the tile thus making the (already effective) ceramic even more effective.

Hey man, are you alive? This were awesome videos, we want more!
Definitely not alive… RIP. His sacrifice wasn’t in vein☹️

Did you do it?
What were the results?
I feel like he either did it and it worked... or he did it and it didn't, and the panel not working could be why it isn't responding.
Excellent video! Perhaps try porcelain tiles rather than ceramic. They're much harder.
Excellent job! Stopping an AK47 at 15 meters with inexpensive materials is very impressive!
My suggestion... use only 36 layers and add another sheet of tile, inside the layers. Perhaps after 24 layers. Seal with resin.
Your doing wonders man! Keep up the good work!
To bad you stopped I loved the content.
How would this be attached to a vehicle?
Great videos. You put a lot of effort into them. Sorry to see no more projects. But I'll take what you did and use it. Thank you.

Good job on all three videos you on the right track
Hi, did you use standrad military amunition? Because it has soft-steel core and penetrates much more then hunting bullets.
Any progress on these projects in 2 years?
Very cool video and experiment. Seems like even the steel plate and ceramic by itself does a good job of dealing with the normal street gang bulllets. The best part is, you would be able to drive out of danger before they realize their shot are not getting through
You should do a double layer of ceramic tile, so that the gaps of one over lap the center of the layer under it, I hope you can make sense of what I am suggesting
Great work! I would consider bonding the tiles to the plate before applying the silicone. Silicone interferes with the bond.
i notice you put the fibre glass with the layers all the same way if you had put the layers 90% every other one the you strength would be a lot better
@C M :) yes sorry i not sure what i was thinking great video
Hey, just found your videos and really loved them. Wish you still made some!
Very nice experiment with real world application. Will be making some 2 tile layer plates with denim and fiberglass composite for testing with 22lr up to 45ACP first. Then work my way up to rifle calibers.
3:00 Amazing! I thought that square material was a bad idea!
that is ceramic like floor tiles
That's sweet! You need a smaller scale armour to test individual rounds.
Great. NOW Dynex or Rihno Line it and it will stop the rest. As well as add a silicone layer on both before . The bolted together one should be a better option with the ceramic. Now for personal just subtract the difference and you are ready for the SHTF. 👍✌
Gerald Key Sr. Agree, I think it needs silicone to provide cushion between layers to help in absorption and dissipate energy
This is very exciting! You had the genius to try out some of the ideas I've had before, and mixed them in a creative way I haven't though of or attempted. Nice
very interesting work, you know the mechanical properties for firebricks, they are very hard , easy to find and no very expensive.

Can the fibre glass be laid out at right angles and improve efficiency?
Where did he dissapear to?
Excellent content! Why did you stop making videos? Are you ok?
Great quality video you should make more man!
Seriously cool stuff!
Next time, how about a body armor test as well? It probablu won't stand up to quite as much, but keeping the armor light while still effective is a much greater chalenge, if you are up fore it that is :)
Why you stopped? You could have made a world class armor company by now...
Nice work! You have a new follower my friend!
+EliZuperWarZ Thank you!
You can harden the steel to make it stronger
Fiberglass is poor vs rifle rounds. You need over an inch of it, and it ends up weighing about the same as an AR500 steel plate that stops the same round.
The HDPE used in level 4 plates are individual thin sheets though, not a solid panel. It's better able to deform to disperse the energy of the bullet.

Thank you for the videos. You say the steel (& tiles? I forgot) was enough to stop most rounds by itself but I would argue that if it didn't have the support of the fiber glass it wouldn't have done as good a job.
Yeah the fiberglass itself would be good for the pistol rounds
Another Project in 2019?
so long story short you just need steel plates?
Interesting vid.
Liked.
Use a harden'd steel plate on the outward plate fill in inside with some hard plaster material put in some tungsten carbide plates in there space them out and have the back panel as a softer steel.
That raises the cost &complicates the process of getting the materials needed.
What happened to this guy? Any more vids?
Amazing!
might have done even better with a kevlar welding blanket.
Nice work, keep it up!
keep doing this great work, youtubbon imadyak ilyen videokat, ne aly meg
I wonder what happens you you separate the layers of fiber glass - in the way that each layer is moving freely against other - like in kevlar chest
love to see this design using Kevlar
you'd get roughly the same performance with half the thickness as fiberglass
Anybody that makes Armour 5 inches thick can stop bullets set I could stack paper 5 in thick and probably stop most pistols why don't you try to make it a lot left stick and see if you get the same results
Hey man. Have you got an email I can reach you at? Have some ideas that I need to discuss
So sad he didn't make more
Any more vids of another chanel
Any new updates?
Make more videos man
Use annealed polyethylene
Good job！
Stray tuned for more... 7 years later... you guys think the CIA got him?
Too bad this guy disappeared
I hope you use gloves next time. There is bound to be lead dust and loose glass fibers in there.
Use 1 layer steel,1 layer ceramic, 1 layer steel,1 layer ceramic and fiberglass armor. Promise it will stop the rounds. Let us know how it works. 👍👍👍👍
Good shit 👍
Protöktív szilikon léjer... Aha. Persze.... :D
maybe an old leaf spring out of a truck works better as a armor
Hes still in an EU gulag for being awesome
