Could non-Newtonian fluids be used in the future as a kind of percussive ear protection?
I feel like we are ways out from seeing anything like it. From what I’ve seen non-Newtonian fluids typically take a decent amount of energy to stop something and sound wouldn’t have much energy compared to something like a bullet.
On a sidenote does Decibullz own a patent on percussive hearing protection or am I looking up the wrong term? I feel like there must be other hearing protection out there that is effective against sudden loud sounds.
