Spider Silk body armor?
I hear that spider silk is 3 times stronger than Kevlar. Would it be possible for me to walk around finding to harvest silk from spider webs until I have enough to make a vest? Would it work as is or would I have to find a way to weave it? I was thinking just get a whole lot of it, put it between two pieces of fabric like in quilts and just use that. It is too sticky to weave though. Anytihng Anyone know about this? I know the army and cops do not use it Because it is too difficult to mass produce but I Might Be Able to gather enough for one vest. The problem is we could use spider farms except spiders have a bad habit of eating each other. I want to make one vest for my own use.
While it is true that spider silk is very strong. They have yet to perfect a suitable method of manufacture. The U.S. military has studied the properties of spider silk since the 1940s. However, they have not yet been Able to reproduce the method that spiders use to create the silk. Ultimately my Transgenic organisms or GMO production solve the issue but they will also introduce new issues in regards to Environmental Pollution, ie Radically escaped mutant organisms that could unbalance the ecosystem. "Nano particle chains are a more likely solution to creating stronger body armor. However, soft body armor not only protects against bullet penetration against the kinetic force of a bullet. The force of a bullet impact can still cause you great harm even if the bullet does not penetrate your body.

I received several free animated ecards the other day from friends for my birthday. It made my day so I decided to work out how to send them so I could do that for my friends. Now I can’t stop – I am having heaps of fun. They are easy, quick and don’t cost a cent.
