Ghoul Armor


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

The Ghoul armor is made of Selected Kevlar Plates dipped in liquid titanium and set to cool in order so that each plate could retain a high anti-pierce resistant method and still be lightweight and strong. The material the plates are added to however is made of woven spider spilk, and used to help increase the strength of the space between the plates and make it more powerful. The idea is that though the armored plates can withstand 20mm bullet and resist bullets of 12.7mm x 102mm bullets with little difficulty, it is immobile. However, with spider silk that is able to stretch and withstand bullets of 7.62mm x 51 with little difficulty and tear from 12.7 x 102mm bullets, that the mobility and protection of the user could be greatly increased while still retaining the the protection of a full body suit. The suit has three parts- an under cloth part designed to protect against 1000 degrees, comfortably, made out of resistant cloth, a silk overcoat, which comprises the whole suit, and this part only weighs close to 100 grams (as spider silk is extremely light) but comprises a suit that covers that whole body, and then the outer plates added to sockets on the outside of the spider silk suit. The suit as well has a Kevlar anti-bullet helmet that has spider web materials interwoven on the inside and can protect from bullets up to 20 x 102mm, as well as be barely damaged by shrapnel. The helmet is also surprisingly light, using spider web fibers which are extremely light, making the helmet roughly only two pounds (extremely light). The helmet is attached and strapped to the head with a spider silk band. As well, a HUD is attached to the visor, displaying vital signs such as heart rate, breathing rate, blood loss, nervous reactivity, and hormone levels. It as well calculates distances from the measurements of your gun, and shows a transparent sonar in the lower right part of the screen, which relays active information of targets around the soldier. The information can be updated wirelessly, and 12 hours of film can be stored on the helmet through a camera which allow the relay of information to superior officers if necessary. To power all of this, including the sensors, the suit uses a Nickel-Iron rechargeable battery which lasts approximately 10 times as long as nickel-metal hydride batteries per size, and use a nearly 2 1/2 pound battery that is 1 inch thick and 5 inches wide and across. It can run everything on the suit for nearly 10,000 hours without a recharge, and can run on a lower battery time and less battery sensitive "sleep modes" which allows the suit to conserve more energy, and ultimately survive even longer with the battery.

High Tensile Strength

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Though spider webs can be easily torn or taken part, they have an extremely high tinsel strength. When put into layers, or woven into specific shapes, the fibers can be exploited to where the energy of whatever force hitting them is spread throughout the whole material. Using high tensile strength, the fibers when laid about each other have less likely hood to "snap", or when a shock is applied to break. If the shock of the force is spread about the whole of the object, then the force of a shock can be expended throughout the whole of the material, making the material pierce resistant as well, as no one force can be applied about the whole of the material. As well, spider web material is very elastic, and can retain most of it's high tensile strength when even being stretched out. This means that as a separater piece between the plates it allows a high strength, mobile solution to a full plate body, as the spider web material allows protection between plates and increases the mobility and protection of standard issue suits. As well, the spider web can be worn as a suit itself. The over-all application of the spider web exploits not only it's high tensile strength (as many other objects have a higher tensile strength) but also it's elasticity and over-all ability to be ductile.





Manufacture

The material is manufactured by spiders who are willing to congregate together, and are found in several trees around the world, having and incident of making a large spider web area among a lot of trees. Being able to do this, the are certain remote locations with outside "farms" of hundreds of spiders and trees, where many insects lay, as well as were as insects released, over an area of around 625 square miles, with a 25 by 25 mile area with complete trees. Close to a 10 square mile area is "Farmed" daily yielding close to 20 square miles of spider silk each day. Each area is replaced subsequently nearly a month before it is reformed, as to collect enough silk per tree so that it may be farmed again without harming the spiders or damaging the general area, and giving the spiders enough time to eat the food they catch and grow more web. The bugs that are caught in the silk is removed with a burning process that burns the bugs (but not the silk), washes them bugs off through a filter and with water, and them puts them through another process to weave them back into silk fibers again.
