Abstract

See full text

The described invention, Shear-Thickening Fluid Cowl for Cervical Spine Protection, is a hollow hood connected to the wearer's helmet and rear body-armor plate. It is composed of baffles and shear-thickening fluid. The hood becomes rigid upon a sufficiently high-velocity impact to the helmet and conveys the energy of the impact to the wearer's back armor plate. This prevents injury to the wearer's neck muscles, cervical spine, and brain.
