Does vibranium absorb kinetic energy?

According to Marvel’s official website, vibranium “absorbs all vibratory energy (i.e., sound) in its area, as well as kinetic energy directed at it” and stores energy as more of a compressional force than as a chemical reaction.

Why is Captain America’s shield so bouncy?

Originally Answered: In the MCU, if Vibranium absorbs kinetic energy, then shouldn’t Captain America’s shield just fall flat after hitting a surface and not bounce back? The shield absorbs kinetic energy primarily on the front and back surfaces, and then channels it out of the sides, enabling the “bounce” effect.

How does vibranium release kinetic energy?

Those thick thibgs get pulled and pulled and stretched and tense and stretched and tense until they snap. Releasing all that energy into a deadly whiplash. The same way a Snapple cap does. You push it, it bends inwards, and then just needs a little bit of encouragement (pressure from the other side) to release it.

Can vibranium withstand heat?

Further, it has an extremely high melting point (5,475 degrees Fahrenheit), making it extremely heat resistant, and an extremely low freezing point (crystallisation temperature of -395.4 degrees Fahrenheit), making its tensile strength extraordinarily high at low temperatures.

How did Tony Stark use nanotech?

Tony also took his own spin on nanotechnology. His arc-reactor creates tiny nanobots and supplies power the suit. He probably created a much more powerful version that reactor along with the nanotechnology it houses.

Did Tony know about Wakanda?

Just before this, Tony brings up that he knew him from conventions and black market trade deals in arms off the African Coast. It’s likely he knew about Wakanda from files about vibranium and Cap’s shield. Cap himself brought up the fact that it was the strongest metal on Earth, referencing his shield.
