How can i use electomagnetic force to stop projectiles?

Question

I've looked into ballistics armor but they all fail to stop it right away. After reading that gravity pulls you down but eletromagnetic force stops you cold i thought i'd look into this. Magnetics are powerful but the levels to stop a ballistic are very high and unfeasible and not all balllistics would be affected. So i'm looking for some other answers.

Answer 1

Your quest my friend is not an easy one to say the least. I have looked into this myself and have a few theories myself.

First of all, a force field is not possible on a personal level.. ie, body armor.

And personal body armor is mostly comprised of a material made of Kevlar and Ceramic Plates.

An idea I came up myself is a step back per say. Intergrating a wet suit as a base and also easier on the skin when the bullets start hitting, layered Kevlar, followed by a layer of Ionized Titanium machined chain mail: ionization increases the strength of Titanium by 60%, being machined will make the chain mail very fine to the point of being a heavy mesh. Two seperate layers of the mesh with Kevlar between the layers, with Ionized Titanium plates on the surface: the plates being customs formed to interlock, being like the scales of a large snake.. also to enable some form of movement in the limbs.

While this type of armor will stop a vast array of ballistic projectiles.. it won't stop everything.

Answer 2

I agree with scafool. Most projectiles are not magnetic. Even steel jacketed ones would not be all that magnetic since the steel is only a thin layer.

Answer 3

are you sure the projectiles will be effected magnetically, what if they are lead or spent uranium, possibly with cupronickel jackets. Tungstens are also nonmagnetic. I have no answer to the question, wish you luck on your research.

Good Luck
