Based on my read of the article seems like this would fall apart under evenly applied force. Like a bolt cutter. Odd that the article doesn't mention bolt cutters.
- genocidicbunny 6y agoAnd in the first paragraph they even mention that this might have applications for bike locks. If that was an intended application, surely testing against bolt cutters which are so frequently used would be something they'd have done.
- Skunkleton 6y agoMaybe they are using the technical definitions of sheering and cutting?
- xsmasher 6y agoYep, bolt cutter would go through that aluminum like butter; or use a car jack or long lever to bend it in half. A layer of this on top of steel bar would help guard against power tools. My bike lock already has a rubberized coating; embed ceramic balls in that.
