Test 2 of GAUSS Material Trials. Same Kevlar welding fabric as yesterday — this time I opened the layers after failure. What the blade did to the fibers ruled it out permanently. Test 2 of GAUSS Material Trials. Same material as yesterday — Kevlar welding fabric — but a different question. Yesterday the

Test 1 of GAUSS Material Trials. Kevlar welding fabric across five combinations, full force stab. It failed — but the resistance before failure was the first data point worth keeping. Test 1 of GAUSS Material Trials. Kevlar welding fabric — a material engineered for heat and spark resistance, not cut resistance. The
