Armour vs Ammunition: The Tech Battle | G Srinivasan | TEDxPanimalarEngineeringCollege
In this gripping talk, we dive into the high-stakes technological arms race between battle-tank armour and the ammunition designed to pierce it. From cutting-edge composite materials to next-gen kinetic energy rounds, discover how innovation fuels both sides of this ongoing duel and what it reveals about modern warfare, strategy, and survival on the battlefield. With over 29 years at DRDO, G. Srinivasan leads the Centre for Engineering Analysis & Design at CVRDE. An IIT Madras alumnus (M.Tech, Machine Design), his expertise spans turret and weapon systems, ballistic structures, simulation, and design optimization for armoured vehicles.

- 8:12Why we love risk-takers | Jason Thompson | TEDxWCCAccording to legit research, we love people who go off-script - risk-takers who, even when they bomb, get more respect than the ones playing it safe, because we instinctively root for boldness, even if we’re terrified of it ourselves. Jason Thompson, proud Washtenaw Community College alumnus, is currently studying Communications and Media at the University of Michigan. When he’s not pursuing his dream of returning to WCC as an educator, he’s moonlighting as a writer, podcast host, dog dad, and collector of rare and hard-to-find records.
