The invention relates to the novel usage of shear-thickening and rheopectic non-Newtonian fluids as shock absorbers intended absorbing acceleration or impact via submergence of an object to be protected entirely into non-Newtonian fluid. Additionally, this invention relates to the novel usage of shear-thickening and rheopectic non-Newtonian fluids as shock absorbers capable of absorbing the force of impact or acceleration and effectively dissipating the force away from the object to be protected over an extended duration (greater than an instantaneous impact) more effectively than traditional shock absorbers.
Usage of Non-Newtonian fluids as ultra high acceleration (defined as any acceleration in excess of 50 g's) shock absorbers and g force dissipaters via submerging objects in non-Newtonian fluids.
The novel use of non-Newtonian fluids as shock absorbers for high velocity impacts via submerging objects entirely in non-Newtonian fluid (as opposed to only a non-contiguous layer of fluid intended for protecting against a single blunt impact).
Use of a mass driver in tandem with this invention to accelerate objects to high velocities under high (>50 g) acceleration.
