Text 20 s/d 22
by Tom Harris
Humans have been wearing armor for
thousands of years. Ancient tribes fastened
animal hide and plant material around their
bodies when they went out on the hunt, and
the warriors of ancient Rome and medieval
Europe covered their torsos in metal plates
before going into battle. By the 1400s, armor
in the Western world had become highly
sophisticated. With the right armor, you
were nearly Invincible.
All that changed with the development
of cannons and guns in the 1500s. These
weapons hurl projectiles at a high rate of
speed, giving them enough energy to
penetrate thin layers of metal. You can
increase the thickness of traditional armor
materials, but they soon become too
cumbersome and heavy for a person to wear.
It wasn‟t until the 1960s that engineers
developed a reliable bullet-resistant armor
that a person could wear comfortably.
Unlike traditional armor, this soft body
armor is not made out of pieces of metal; it
is formed from advanced woven fibers that
can be sewn into vests and other soft
clothing.
Soft body armor is a fairly mystifying
concept How can a soft piece of clothing
stop bullets? The principle at work is actually
quite simple. At its heart, a piece of
bullet-proof material is just a very strong
net.
To see how this works, think of a soccer
goal. The back of the goal consist of a net
formed by many long lengths of tether,
interlaced with each other and fastened to
the goal frame. When you kick the soccer
ball into the goal, the ball has a certain
amount of energy, in the form of forward
inertia. When the ball hits the net, it pushes
back on the tether lines at that particular
point. Each tether extends from one side of
the frame to the other, dispersing the energy
from the point of impact over a wide area.

The energy is further dispersed because
the tethers are interlaced. When the ball
pushes on a horizontal length of tether,
that tether pulls on every interlaced vertical
tether. These tethers in turn pull on all the
connected horizontal tethers. In this way,
the whole net works to absorb the ball‟s
inertial energy, no matter where the ball
hits.
If you were to put a piece of bullet-
proof material under a powerful micro-
scope, you would see a similar structure.
Long strands of fiber are interlaced to
form a dense net. A bullet is traveling
much faster than a soccer ball, of course,
so the net needs to be made from stronger
material. The most famous material used in
body armor is DuPont‟s KEVLAR fiber.
KEVLAR is lightweight, like a traditional
clothing fiber, but it is five times stronger
than a piece of steel of the same weight
When interwoven into a dense net, this ma-
terial can absorb a great amount of energy.
In addition to stopping the bullet from
reaching your body, a piece of body armor
also has to protect against blunt trauma
caused by the force of the bullet.
When you kick a ball into a soccer goal,
the net is pushed back pretty far, slowing
the ball down gradually. This is a very effi-
cient design for a goal because it keeps the
ball from bouncing out into the field. But
bulletproof material can‟t give this much
because the vest would push too far into
the wearer‟s both at the point of impact.
Focusing the blunt trauma of the impact in
a small area can cause severe internal
injuries.
Bulletproof vests have to spread the
blunt trauma out over the whole vest so
that the force isn‟t felt too intensely in any
one spot. To do this, the bulletproof mate-
rial must have a very tight weave. Typically,
the individual fibers are twisted, increasing
their density and their thickness at each
point. To make it even more rigid, the
material is coated with a resin substance
and sandwiched between two layers of
plastic film.

A person wearing body armor will still
feel the energy of a bullet‟s impact, of
course, but over the whole torso rather
than in a specific area. If everything works
correctly, the victim won‟t be seriously hurt.
Since no one layer can move a good dis-
tance, the vest has to slow the bullet down
using many different layers. Each “net”
slows the bullet a little bit more, until the
bullet finally stops. The material also causes
the bullet to deform at the point of the
impact Essentially, the bullet spreads out at
the tip, in the same way a piece of day
spreads out if you throw It against a wall.
This process, which further reduces the
energy of the bullet, is called
“mushrooming.”
To sum up, modern soft body armor
consists of several layers of super-strong
webbing. This material disperses the energy
of a bullet over a wide area, preventing
penetration and dissipating blunt trauma.
This sort of armor, as well as hard armor,
ranges considerably in effectiveness,
depending on the materials used as well as
the armor design. However, no bulletproof
vest is completely impenetrable, and there
is no piece of body armor that will make
you invulnerable to attack.
By Molly Edmonds
Smell is probably the most important
shark sense, so much so that sharks have
been referred to as “swimming noses”.
There are some impressive statistics to back
this up, too. A shark can sniff out fish ex-
tracts that make up only one part for every
10 billion. Other research shows sharks are
able to respond to one part blood for every
one million parts of water; this is like being
able to smell one teaspoon of something in
a swimming pool. What‟s more, sharks can
smell these small amounts from hundreds
of meters away.

How does the shark do this? Just under
the snout are two flares, or nasal cavities.
Each nare has two openings, one for water
to enter and one for water to exit. The
shark sucks or pulls the water into the nares
to sniff out any evidence of prey. The water
goes into nasal sacs and over a series of
skin folds known as olfactory lamellae. The
nasal cavities are big spaces, which gives
the shark more time to register the smells.
The nasal sacs are filled with sensory cells,
which send signals to the shark‟s brain. The
olfactory lobes in the shark‟s brain analyze
the smells, looking for those that match the
scent of their prey or the pheromones of
potential mates. And sharks have pretty
advanced equipment up there-about
two-thirds of the shark‟s brain weight is
composed of olfactory lobes.
Once the shark identifies the scent and
decides to pursue, it starts swimming. The
shark‟s natural swimming motion of
moving its head back and forth provides
further assistance in determining where the
scent is coming from. With each
movement, the snout picks up more water
for the shark to analyze, and the shark is
able to tell whether it‟s coming from the
right or left nare. This helps them
determine which way to swim.
The shark‟s nose may work so well be-
cause it doesn‟t have to do anything else.
Sharks use their noses just for smelling.
Breathing is accomplished with a shark‟s
gills, and the shark‟s sense of smell is not
connected to its mouth in any way. Sharks
often don‟t know how something is going
to taste until they‟ve taken a bite. This is
how some people are able to “escape” from
a shark attack -- the shark gets a little nibble
of a foot and decides to reject the prey.
