Blast Barrier Brainstorm

Posted October 21, 2007 8:18 AM

How does gardening relate to shielding the effects of a bomb blast? One word; Perlite. The white crunchy stuff mixed in with potting soil has a more serious application when ingeniously packaged as shock absorbing blankets that can be applied to everything from garbage receptacles to the belly of military vehicles. Are there any industrial applications?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Shock, Vibration & Noise, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Shock, Vibration & Noise today.

In other ways too...a row of trees would doubtless mitigate the effects of a blast!

Strong chaps, trees... If you don't believe me try driving into one at 10mph. (No not really....)
