The invention relates to a modular
protection system comprising energy-absorbing capsules that dissipate
mechanical energy from impacts or vibrations. Each
capsule has an outer shell, flexible, semi-rigid, or rigid, and an internal structure with optional partitions, sub-partitions, enclosures, coatings, reinforcement, or smart components. The interior holds deformable or energy-absorbing material such as non-Newtonian fluids, gels, foams, fibers, granules, or composites. Capsules may be arranged in rows, grids, or
capsule-within-
capsule forms, and integrated into garments, panels, or infrastructure using
textile channels, adhesives, fasteners, or lamination. Optional features include sensors, smart partitions, external protective plates, perforations, or connectors. The
system supports modular replacement and
adaptation to specific threats or environments, enabling scalable protection from wearable clothing to structural defense.
