There was an article in New Scientist a few months ago, about a force-field for armored personnel carriers. Not quite as sci-fi as it sounds, they use a thinner outer armour with a small gap to the inner plating. The outer armour is then "electrically charged" so that any bullet penetrating the outer armour gets vaporised as soon as it completes the circuit between the two. No details on where they got the power from, but I believe 360 volts worth of optimas can generate a reasonable amount of plasma? :) Evan.
