- Betagel
"Betagel" (βゲル in Japanese) is a high-tech Japanese invention. It utilizes
gel andsilicone to absorb violent shocks more than seven times the amount ofAlphagel .As an example of the Betagel's effectiveness, an egg was dropped from a maximum height of 22 meters. It landed on a 300mm² square plate of Betagel without breaking.
Japaneses researchers developed the
Alphagel prior to creating the Betagel, using a numbered class of gel by " α"Alpha , which was used as a shock absorption material for earthquakes.Evolution and research " α" gel resulted in the creation of the Betagel, "β", which proved seven times more effective.
Many companies (automobile, sport shoes, etc) have demonstrated interest in Betagel.
