This Realistic 40 cm Thick Shield Can Save You from a Nuclear Explosion

This Realistic 40 cm Thick Shield Can Save You from a Nuclear Explosion 

  

we all know various shields depicted in various science fiction films and comics which are extremely 

strong such as cap's shield which can even withstand a nuke. But you know that soon this shield will be a reality. before going to main topic first we should understand why withstanding a nuke is very tough for any material.

Effect of nuclear explosion

The main difficulty for any material to withstand a nuke is the extremely high temperature. Every substance has melting point and a nuke explosion can evaporate every thing lying very close to it even a diamond. Second the shock waves are so powerful that it can turn all the buildings near it in to rubble. Third is the radiation which could penetrate through any thing. So, it is very difficult for any human to survive who is near the nuke explosion.     

So, from the above explanation we can conclude that the shield must have high insulating properties and should be extremely strong and can resist radiation  . The solution of this problem is shield made up of starlite, graphene and lead. let have a look at their properties. 

Starlite

Star lite is a substance having highest insulating properties than any other metal that exists on earth. It was invented by amateur chemist and hairdresser Maurice Ward  during the 1970s and 1980s, and received much publicity in 1993 thanks to coverage on the science and technology show . The name Starlite was coined by Ward's granddaughter Kimberly. It was tested in front of laser beam and only few millimeter thick sheet of it was able to with stand the extreme temperature of 10000 degree Celsius. look at this video, this egg has been coated with starlite and another one is not  not coated with starlite and had expose to fire torch the one egg. 

Graphene

Graphene is the strongest substance on earth created artificially by men. Its One-atom-thick sheets  are 200 times stronger than steel. It would take an elephant balancing on a pencil to break a sheet as thin as saran warp (highly thin sheet use to warp food)

Lead

Because of its high density, radiation shielding materials have been manufactured from lead (Pb). Lead shielding, often used in a variety of applications including diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, nuclear and industrial shielding.

How can this shield can save me from nuke explosion

The theory is that the first most coating should be of starlite 10 cm thick which will bear the intense heat. The second layer should of graphene 20 cm thick  which would resist the shock waves and at last there should be a layer of lead 10 cm wide. Although it will require the repairments after facing a nuke. However I will not advice you to test this shield by standing near the target site of nuke.
