A non-newtonian fluid under stress reacts as a solid. In this case they filled a pool with a mix of cornstarch and water made on a concrete mixer truck. It becomes a non-newtonian fluid. Update: Liquid Armor is one of this fluid's applications.

One of the weirdest things I've seen in a long while. Someone got the bright idea that it would be cool to dress up a midget in a knight's armor and make her walk in it guiding a horse. Inevitably she falls down a couple of times....Just watch!

This is a followup of Pool with non newtonian fluid. As seen there non-newtonian fluids can have different properties (fluid/liquid) depending on the stress. Here is an up-to-date application for the military: Liquid Armor. Enjoy! Liquid Armor - video powered by Metacafe

This armored Rolls Royce is not only bullet proof, but even bomb proof, being able to withstand what looks like small roadside bombs. It's really an amazing car!

Here's an amazingly loud showing the pure speed and power of the Gatling gun cannon mounted on the A-10 Warthog plane. It's live munition contains depleted uranium, which helps penetrate the armor of tanks. Brute power in action!
