- kent1146, on 03/14/2009, -1/+11I'm gonna make myself a giant suit of this stuff, and paint a big red "S" on the chest.
Get shot? Just sit in the sun and heal. - speedyrev, on 03/14/2009, -0/+9This is the "crab" story from yesterday isn't it?
http://digg.com/autos/Crab_chemical_could_give_car ... - FurtThePirate, on 03/14/2009, -0/+6Much better article:
http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2009/03/a-poly ... - jordansampson, on 03/14/2009, -0/+4Second time on the front page in two days.
- gcnaddict, on 03/14/2009, -1/+5For those who don't want to RTFA, this only works ONCE on a part of the car which was scratched. If another scratch overlaps any part of the healed first scratch, you're SOL.
- kanabiis, on 03/14/2009, -0/+3which is WAY better then right now, one scratch and your SOL...
I mean the odds of having the same scratch on the same spot is pretty high already. To be able to at least get a second chance on that one spot is pretty nice. - induren, on 03/14/2009, -0/+3Don't you get tired of spreading your BS link everywhere on Digg?
Seriously! - tehhowch, on 03/16/2009, -0/+2Saw something very similar to this at TMS a few weeks ago. Encapsulated microfluid that will leak out if a crack opens the bubble and then link with the matrix material to close the gap. Awesome stuff.
- rxbudian, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2Reminds me of those self healing Wraith ships in Stargate Atlantis...
By the way. I wonder how the coating manage to stop the healing process when the surface of the coating is damaged. if polymer kept healing when it's supposed to stop, it'll look like the surface is bumpy.... - depro9, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2hmmm, not good for the planned obsolescence criminal corporations.
- carshadfan, on 03/14/2009, -1/+3polymers are so fascinating.
- drunkenoaf, on 03/14/2009, -1/+3So there's only a finite amount of scratch repair that it can do with such a coating, and presumably-- on a car -- wouldn't fix anything that hit the took out the paint.
Still, saves me the job of t-cutting small scratches off. - kingofinternet, on 03/14/2009, -1/+3infinitis already have this
- Dumbledorito, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2"I notice you're still working with polymers."
"Still? What else would I be using?"
"Aye, what else indeed..." - Dumbledorito, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2In other news, Harvey Birdman prepares to sue for trademark violation...
- sandfish, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2The beginnings to a genetic superman!
- induren, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2Great! Not touching it until I see extensive safety test data.
- zantos420, on 03/14/2009, -0/+2Boss Hog finally killed Captain Planet and extracted this formula from his DNA
- tehhowch, on 03/16/2009, -0/+1Your statement is potentially false... They do not know if it will heal or not in that case, because they have not tested it.
- BestDudeEver, on 03/14/2009, -2/+3Things get warm in the sun... is that the best you can do? ***** science
- mastertop, on 03/15/2009, -0/+1I thought the exact same thing... very funny
- Mockylock, on 03/14/2009, -1/+2And after 3 years, it has to be re-coated after they all sink to the ground.
- Philbert, on 03/14/2009, -0/+1At least he won't need a lawyer.
- F34RInc, on 03/15/2009, -0/+1Harry: Yeah, she grabbed down at the lobby, explained what was up, then they slapped this bullet proof vest on me and gave me a gun.
Lloyd: But what if he shot you in the face?
Harry: [to detective] What if he shot me in the face? - BestDudeEver, on 03/14/2009, -0/+1oh......... I read the whole article and still thought it said heats itself -_- im an idiot, my apologies
- akchrs, on 03/14/2009, -2/+2Old car owner: Hey you just backed into my car!!! Look at all that damage!! I'm calling the police!!
New Car owner: <his car damage self heals car looks new> Um.... no I didn't. - ClevelandBrown, on 03/14/2009, -4/+2"Your foster parents are dead."
- divinediva, on 03/14/2009, -8/+2These tiny capsules are embedded in the coating.
