They realized they had hit on something special, that could potentially lighten the average 26-pound body armor kit worn by servicemen in the field by as much as two thirds.

Also protective gear for LEO. From watching the segment on FOX it’s a very inexpensive easy to make material.

Shear thickening fluids were apparently researched for this before. I wonder why this one was missed then.

Gifted ideas are something that many folks come up with from time to time. Sometimes those ideas baffle people who have had the best education money can buy, and decades in the given field.
These are some of the best ideas. They are not hindered by the rules of physics as they are understood. From time to time, those ideas defy the rules. They tap into some unknown loophole. Don’t let someone give you a flippant response to dash your hopes that your idea could lead to something.
Test yourself. Expand on your ideas. Know your limits, but don’t give up easily.
Here this woman came up with something that shouldn’t have worked. It did.
It happens more often than the educated brilliant minds want you to think.
Common simple solutions defy the brainiacs.
I love it when they do.
Ingenuity folks... it’s the genius in each of us.

This has been done before. Just not as cheaply.

Dont let someone give you a flippant response to dash your hopes that your idea could lead to something. Your thoughts remind me of a great Heinlein quote...
Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.

a) it highlights an acheivment by female in a warrior institute and, b) it may have exposed an uniformed instructor.

Interesting stuff there. So this was known about before. She must have made improvements on the concept.
That’s good.
I appreciate the link. I’ve watched other things that guy has produced and I find them fascinating.

The stupidity of your post is highlighted by the fact that you spelled achievement wrong. How ironic.
