h a l f b a k e r yIncidentally, why isn't "spacecraft" another word for "interior design"?

Originally this was a reply to the better hard hat - but then I realized that no: this was a quantum improvement on that concept - an amphibian walking out of the ocean and leaving behind its fish ancestry.
The Reactive Hard Hat. Based on the same principle as reactive tank armor, this hat would
contain small charges behind plates. If struck with sufficient velocity, a small explosion will hurl the striking object away. With a sensitive enough trigger, this could be also used to protect the wearer from bullets.
This also addresses the requirement that hats must be replaced after being dropped, as any dropped hat would trigger the reactive armor and likely disappear over the horizon.

This'd be great. Please bake this, I shall then buy a bb gun and skulk around building sites. |

So, how many foot/lbs of energy does, say, a .357 magnum bullet exert at 50 feet from the muzzle? |
|
|
yeah, "protect the wearer from bullets" seems a little hopeful. |
|
|
Surely the explosive charge would blow the wearers head out of his arse? |
|
|
You don't have to wear a hard hat do you [bungston]? |
|
|
I don't have to do nothing, see? You're not the boss of me. |

|
I wanna know what a "soft hat" is? [+] by the way. |
|
|
I'm currently wearing one. It is made of beige corduroy with a whittled redwood flower on the side. |
|
|
Wouldn't this mean that everyone
around the wearer would need
Reactive Body Armor to protect
against rebound? |
|
|
//any dropped hat would trigger the reactive armor and likely disappear over the horizon.// |
|
|
[+] for this sentence alone (or is that a clause?). |
|
|
//a quantum improvement// that would
be the smallest possible unit of
improvement, then? |
