  The project is mainly building android-like humans that will aid humanity across the entire globe with any conflict humanity is facing. The main purpose of the project is to help humanity with any disasters they have been facing and to create a peaceful world where no one has to suffer in pain. Within the experiment, it is important to demonstrate how durable the materials are for the androids to be ready for their outside-world missions. The main materials used in this experiment will be the outer shell of the android which is strontium and titanium shells. The shells will be put up against three different types of bullets such as cast bullets, hollow bullets, and soft points. There will be 3 different types of firearms that will be used specifically for the bullets: a Glock 20 (cast bullets), a Ruger pistol (hollow point bullet), and a handgun (soft point). If it is quite possible to change the distance in firing the bullets, it will decrease the impact in the protection shield.

   The “Encom” series must have a strong metal to be fit for any conflict that comes their way when aiding humans, so it is better to set up the outside structures of the androids for combat. There will be two types of elements used for the outer shell of the android, both Strontium, and Titanium. These are considered to be some of the strongest metals, but it is important to choose the strongest metal. The first bullet that’ll be used is a soft point bullet, this bullet is essentially a full metal jacket with a lead core wrapped in a hard copper casing, Next is the hollow point bullet, this bullet is a type of expanding bullet which expands on impact, causing a more lethal hit without penetrating further than necessary, finally the cast bullet, they are made from molten lead that is poured into a mold and then allowed to cool.

PROCEDURE

     When firing a bullet, it is important to take into account the distance when firing the bullet at the intended target hence the shells. In the procedure of the experiment, it was important picking the location of the experiment away from any pedestrians so no one gets hurt, so the location was on a rock land, so using measuring tape and placing rocks at the coordinated points makes it simple for the process of the experiment. First, the titanium shell will be used for all three of the bullets then the Strontium shell. For the soft point bullet, it will be fired at 10 meters away from the shells, Next the hollow point bullet will be fired at 25 meters away from the shells, and finally the case bullet will be fired at 40 meters away from the shells. When changing the variables in the experiment they are both the difference in distance and the difference in the shells and firearm because not every bullet goes with the firearm. The dependent variable in the experiment is the millimeters that are indented in the shells by using a dent measurement tool. The controlled variable is the location of the experiment.

Table 1:

Titanium	Soft Point	Hollow Point	Case Bullet
Distance (m)	10 meters	25 meters	40 meters
Durability (mm)	0.1 millimeters	0.04 millimeters	0.03 millimeters

Table 2:   

Strontium	Soft Point	Hollow Point	Case bullets
Distance (m)	10 meters	25 meters	40 meters
Durability (mm)	0.4 millimeters	0.8 millimeters	1 millimeter

      In the first table, Titanium has tested the first bullet (soft point) at a distance of 10 meters and made an impact at 0.1 millimeters which is a little less of a dent. Next (Hollow point) at a distance of 25 meters, it made an impact at 0.04 millimeters having barely impact, and finally (Cast Bullet) at a distance of 40 meters it made an impact at 0.03 millimeters still having barely any impact. Since there was barely any contact with the bullet toward the titanium shield, it proves the hypothesis when increasing the distance between the bullet and the shell, the impact decreases.

      In the second table, Strontium was tested. The first bullet (soft point) at a distance of 10 meters made an impact of 0.4 millimeters which is little to less of a dent, Next (hollow point) at a distance of 25 meters it made an impact of 0.8 millimeters which still has a little to less impact, and finally (Cast Bullet) at a distance of 40 meters it made impact at 1 millimeter which does make some impact on the shell, but not by a large amount. With this data the impacts of the bullets toward the shields seem to increase which disproves the hypothesis of increasing the distance causes the impact to decrease instead.  

  Throughout the experiment, it has given the hypothesis both incorrect and correct data in which the hypothesis was right and wrong. It was quite a shock how the hypothesis was proven unsuccessful. The expectations were to have both elements have a decrease in impact, but by the results, the best element to use for the Android is Titanium. The main reasons why the experiments were unsuccessful were possible because of not taking the natural elements that could’ve to disrupt the experiment for example, the wind can trigger vibrations which could disrupt the motion speed of the bullet hitting the intended target causing the bullet to go off course and lose momentum in hitting the target which could be the main reason as to why there wasn’t as much contact during the strontium experiment. The discrepancies in the experimental results were the contacts made during both element trials for example, in Table 1, Titanium shows the impact decreasing through each of the bullets while in Table 2, The contact Strontium has on the bullets. One solution to the experiment could be to pick a place that doesn’t have as much wind to get better results and to do more than one trial to get different results.

INTRODUCTION

  The project is mainly building android-like humans that will aid humanity across the entire globe with any conflict humanity is facing. The main purpose of the project is to help humanity with any disasters they have been facing and to create a peaceful world where no one has to suffer in pain. Within the experiment, it is important to demonstrate how durable the materials are for the androids to be ready for their outside-world missions.

If it is quite possible to change the distance in firing the bullets, it will decrease the impact in the protection shield.

MATERIALS

   The “Encom” series must have a strong metal to be fit for any conflict that comes their way when aiding humans, so it is better to set up the outside structures of the androids for combat. There will be two types of elements used for the outer shell of the android, both Strontium, and Titanium. These are considered to be some of the strongest metals, but it is important to choose the strongest metal. The first bullet that’ll be used is a soft point bullet, this bullet is essentially a full metal jacket with a lead core wrapped in a hard copper casing, Next is the hollow point bullet, this bullet is a type of expanding bullet which expands on impact, causing a more lethal hit without penetrating further than necessary, finally the cast bullet, they are made from molten lead that is poured into a mold and then allowed to cool.

Table 2:

      In the first table, Titanium has tested the first bullet (soft point) at a distance of 10 meters and made an impact at 0.1 millimeters which is a little less of a dent. Next (Hollow point) at a distance of 25 meters, it made an impact at 0.04 millimeters having barely impact, and finally (Cast Bullet) at a distance of 40 meters it made an impact at 0.03 millimeters still having barely any impact. Since there was barely any contact with the bullet toward the titanium shield, it proves the hypothesis when increasing the distance between the bullet and the shell, the impact decreases.

      In the second table, Strontium was tested. The first bullet (soft point) at a distance of 10 meters made an impact of 0.4 millimeters which is little to less of a dent, Next (hollow point) at a distance of 25 meters it made an impact of 0.8 millimeters which still has a little to less impact, and finally (Cast Bullet) at a distance of 40 meters it made impact at 1 millimeter which does make some impact on the shell, but not by a large amount.
