The difference between passive and active nanotechnology
When we are thinking about regular things like sneakers, the bottom of the shoe can be made lightweight by using small rubber balls, where is air inside them. That makes possible to make extreme lightweight shoes, and the structure, which is used in the sneakers can be used in the tires, which should not burst. But by using active nanotechnology, where the tire is covered by the small plates, what are similar, what makes Gecko able to climb on the glass, that thing can make tires extremely good traction.
The idea of this is when the layer is like ice or something like that the system would push those plates upward, and that makes this type of tires safer than a normal tire. And when the tire is starting to move back those layers will rise and deny that thing. If those plates would install on the vests, gloves, and knee pad, that thing allows the person to climb even on the glass wall.
In the same way, if we would make the Kevlar vests, where is the nano-sized Kevlar balls between the kinetic structures, the material would be extremely lightweights, and it can be used as the part of the composite structure. Modern armor is the hybrid system, where are multiple layers with different hardness. The mission of the hard layers is to flatten the incoming projectile and the softer layers would pull the impact energy to themselves. The thing is that the same structure and material, which can be used in bullet-proof vests can be used to give extra protection for vehicles.
Intelligent sneakers and nanotechnical armor are basing the same idea the nano-spring what would push back when something hits the outer layer. But how this system would work. The idea is that nanomaterial or the nano-spring would equip with the iron atom, and then the outer layer would have small-sized double-metal structures. When those two metals, what have different electronegativity would touch together, at that point would create the electricity.
That thing would push the nano-size spring outwards, and this can make the running shoe easier to walk. In the same way, when the bullet hits similar armor, what is created by using nano-springs, what is giving the counter-strike for the bullet, would give more effect to the body or other armor. The active nanotechnology means that the material would give up little, and then the nano-springs would start to come outwards for making the power for the counter punch. The idea is that the outer layer of the structure has to metals or piezoelectric crystals that are making it possible to make electricity, which would make the spring-shaped molecules working correctly.
