I have been making armor for a while. Today after putting together some of the scales, I had to test them against impact of a sharp object with high impact. The throwing axes used, weigh 2 pounds 4 ounces, or one Kilogram each. It took a few tries to hit the armor but after I had, I finally managed to break the scales with the tip of the throwing axes.
While the backing used for the impact test does not simulate real impact from a claw, or tooth, it does give a fair idea that it would significantly slow the force of a sharp object trying to pierce what is behind it.
The thread used for this test is a low test weight cotton twine, and held up as well as could be expected for the circumstances.
The velocity of the average throw is about 25 to 30 feet per second (time from thrown axe leaving my hand until impact at target) makes it about 17-24.45 Mph
I am not well versed in physics, but can guess that as the points on the axe are less than 1/4 inch across, with 2 plus pounds of force each behind them divided out between them, there is over a pound of weight hitting the scales. there is little to no give of the backing as it is wood, and each of the rounds weighs about 80 pounds. they did rock back about an inch when they were hit. the blades bit in about 2 inches in the unprotected area, and about 1/4 to one half inch into the armor. Suffice to say, I think this will stop light grazing damage, but will not stop serious point impact. I expect broken bones, or at the least serious bruising from impact, but less probability for large open cuts from a slash.
Later tests with different impacts will be forthcoming, but for the moment, this is the hardest impact testing that would show the worth of what I have been working on.
Further, of the 4 sets of armor made, only one withstood the impact and did not break. it had double layers of scales and the twine holding it snapped on impact. the smaller scales experienced the similar damage with no scales being visibly damaged, but the twine sheered and all the scales flew apart.

this was my test strip for my solarization project. i know it seems silly to put it up here, but i love it. so it's up here.

Here you see the effect of the different ISO settings of the Panasonic Lumix LX3, the upper crops are jpeg (out of cam) with noise reduction -2. In the middle you can see an ISO 800 image with the same jpeg settings except that nr is +2.
Below you find 2 RAW crops with ISO 800 and 1600.

Didn't know my test shots for my new water proof camera will become a tribute to Village People's IN THE NAVY :XD: I had no idea that an US navy battle ship visiting my city without any notice! Of cos I don't mind that :XD: cos I love those hunky soldier hunks ;)
The funny thing is Bobby Han (brownie) and Bob Hector (blonde) are both set as knight/general of the Atlantis Empire, so, of cos they r both IN THE NAVY :XD: ❤
Jonathon let me test out some of his lighting gear yesterday! Had a lot of fun and learned a lot! Thanks again Jon (he took this shot)!
I am not a very good model btw...well, wasn't trying really...just sitting still. :)
Here's a shot from the first test roll from the new 6x9 pincam. I can't figure out the edge banding issue, except that it might be a function of the modest light leaks from the seams of the film back. The back didn't have any light seals except in a couple spots, so I cut some and installed them today before shooting another test roll.
This was with Fuji Acros and about 2-3 second exposure. Developed in EcoPro (Xtol) 1+1 for 10 minutes.
Brian Cuyler suggested the name "Kevin" (after the Bird of Unknown Species in the Disney film "Up"), so the new pincam is hereafter known as "Kevin".
(crappy quality sorry)
Oh. My. Goodness.
This was so intense, the entire test was intense. haha, I was nervous for Ian.
The guy sitting next to me said it was one of the best black belt tests he's ever seen!
I met someone like me and he was just so cool.
I am so inspired and grateful.
This guys hashis own dojo, and he plays music and he is a graphic designer and....Oh. my. god.
I feel like I can succedd and he went out of his way to talk to me!
And, wow.
I can't even begin to tell you how good it felt to be encouraged by someone like me!
Ian, did such a great job!
I mean my goodness.
Testing my brand new scanner :)

a quick test of the Nikon 28mm f2.8 on the A7R. I already had a Vivatar 28 with a Canon mount but I had purchased a variable ND filter mount and it was for Nikon. (most of my fast lenses were Nikon before I sold them) I'll use this combo for some long exposure experiments...
Edited SpaceX (probably, although I got this from a NASA source) image of a static test firing of a Falcon 9 rocket. This is the rocket that will carry a man-rated capsule to orbit for testing prior to launching people.
Original caption: At NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A, the nine engines of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket roar to life in a brief static firing on Jan. 24, 2019. The test was part of checkouts prior to its liftoff for Demo-1, the inaugural flight of one of the spacecraft designed to take NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station. NASA has worked with SpaceX and Boeing in developing Commercial Crew Program spacecraft to facilitate new human spaceflight systems launching from U.S. soil with the goal of safe, reliable and cost-effective access to low-Earth orbit destinations such as the space station.

Testing the new Canon 7DmkII at night with higher ISO.
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear device. This test was conducted by the United States Army on July 16, 1945, in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, at the new White Sands Proving Ground, which incorporated the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range. (The site is now the White Sands Missile Range.) The date of the test is usually considered to be the beginning of the Atomic Age.
