I am making a scatter shield so I don’t displace my chest cavity with a SHO flywheel. Anyone here work with Kevlar? I don’t want a heavy ass one madfe out of steel so I figured Kevlar is a good way to go.

i dont think kevlar matt would be a wise way to go… your basically trying to keep an explosion confined… and body armor that is rated for that kind of shrapnel has ceramic/steel plates in it… not just kevlar

Because 8000 RPMs ain’t shit. They are just SHO damn fast for realz yo. :tup:
I think I saw something in a Summit catelog that seemed to be for a generic application. Might want to check that out.

bllowers don’t explode and shoot a w
20 lb hunk of metal through bellhousings that’s a completely different application your basically trying to stop a bomb bomb rated armor is metal not synthetic oftherwise hum vees would use kevlar instead of steel plates kevlar is for flexibility not utmost protection

the blower is strapped to the block on those cars so it wont take flight. but maybe if you welded a steel plate where you “think” it might fly through may work…
