"Passive Force Covering" (anti‑impulse meta‑tiles)
Passive Shock-Protective Surface (PSP) is a modular, power-free protective covering for floors, walls, and ceilings that reduces peak impact and blast loads by routing energy laterally and dissipating it within the material stack. The PSP tile combines: (1) a low-friction shear interface that lets the top sheet slip a controlled 1–3 mm; (2) an auxetic core (negative Poisson’s ratio) that spreads loads sideways; (3) replaceable shear-thickening fluid (STF) capsules that “jam” under fast strain; (4) a perforated/deflector layer that breaks up pressure spikes; and (5) an optional Halbach magnet cassette with a steel back-shim that biases forces upward and away from the substrate. The concept is informed by QMG (Quantum Mass & Gravity) micro-state thinking: we maximize lateral impulse routing (Λ) and instantaneous damping (η) via controllable micro-geometry and fast rheology—without external power. What it does Lowers peak g-loads from drops, kicks, tools, or small blasts; reduces slip/fall injuries and secondary damage. Works passively; tiles lock together; damaged STF capsules can be swapped on site. Scales from residential/industrial rooms to vehicle decks and shelters.
