this is a key element for my next move.

are you sure that's the entire formula ?
either way, that's what trial runs are for... thx :up:

well, if you developed a material that could squeeze spacetime into a funnel, the bullet would 'fit' through the wide end of the funnel, but not the narrow end. place a load of these funnels side by side, perpendicular to the plane of the glass, and you'd have one-way bulletproof glass :idea:

There is also one-way bullet-resistant glass available, which has one side able to stop bullets, while the other side allows bullets to pass through it unaffected. This gives a person being shot at the ability to shoot back. This type of bullet-resistant glass is made by laminating a brittle sheet of material with a flexible material.

Imagine a car equipped with this one-way bullet-resistant glass. If a person outside the car shoots a bullet into the window, the bullet would strike the brittle side first. This brittle material would shatter around the point of impact and absorb some of the energy over a large area. The flexible material then absorbs the remaining energy of the bullet, stopping the bullet. A bullet fired from inside the same car would easily pass through the glass because the bullet's force is concentrated on a small area, which causes the material to flex. This causes the brittle material to break outwards, allowing the bullet to pierce the flexible material and strike its target.

well, if i had that much energy to play around with, I'd rather create it by using two force fields. Two of them tightly packed together, depending on the bullet direction the first field triggers the second field to either activate or become passive. :idea:

But if this was a government contract, I like your excessive spending plan :up:
