The wall papers exploading with bomb is showing quite impressive design.

as someone whose home sustained damage from Hurricane Ike, I want to know how, would a house wrapped in this stuff hold up to a hurricane or tornado???

ngan: In that case, you WANT the wall to blow out, in order to dissipate the blast wave. Containing the blast is a good way to kill people. In most institutional settings where large compressed gas or explosive tanks are stored, they’re kept on an outside wall specifically designed to channel the blast away from the building occupants.

This stuff is super elegant from a mechanical perspective, though it seems like it won’t work well with existing construction where the most accessible layers are the thinnest. You’d need to have it stuck to a fairly thick wall to take full advantage of it.

Ngan – presumably the inventors would like you to paper the internal walls as well.

the scenario only illustrate the possibility of a bomb detonate somewhere outside of the building, what if the bomb goes off inside the building? like the one in Hilton, Indonesia?

They show a test with the special wallpaper and without it. Where is the identical test with regular wallpaper? Not a thorough proof of concept at all without that.

They need to come up with bomb-proof paint. Maybe a fiber interlaced paint that can help withstand blasts.

We had bomb-proof film over the plate-glass window at a place I worked at once – it was next to an army recruiting office while the IRA were busy. I always wondered whether instead of being hit with shards of glass we’d all just get pushed down the building like a piston instead.

I love that they call it “wallpaper”. It is truly a great idea and deserves to be widely used, but it will never be fashion choice.

The one problem I see is that if the structure is affected by a bomb blast the frame will collapse. You would have to an extra wall away from the frame about 4 feet to be effective. Great idea.:p
