Abstract
A high-speed projectile barrier is disclosed. The barrier includes a core structure and a layer or layers of insulation around the core, surrounded by outer skins. The core is made from liquid material that flows at room temperature and that solidifies at cryogenic temperatures, and filler material. The filler may be, e.g., cellulose, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, or other high-strength polymeric fibers. Other contemplated filler materials include natural or artificial, layered silicate minerals. A viscosity-enhancing additive may be included. A heat transfer element runs through or around the core and is used to freeze (i.e., solidify) the core. The layers of insulation may be vacuum layers and/or layers of foam rubber, aerogel, glass fiber insulation, or other suitable materials.
