Why does everyone call us croissants I mean I play roblox and in murder mystery my friend calls the innocents croissants and I was literally confused about why he calls the innocents croissants
Yes. Cyberdyne competes with a company who has a exoskeleton named "ReWalk". I as a paraplegic had the luck to test ReWalk and it is kind of lame. Too slow, too bulky, shitty control unit and the power source is quite a problem. Maybe in a few decades. And, yes: Cyberdyne chose their name on purpose, because of the Terminator francise :D
Yes, the company is named after the makers of Skynet and their products are named after the evil AI in 2001: A space oddysee. Japanese people are weird sometimes.
So your saying that the Power Source, Neural Interface, and Energy Shielding are all theoretically possible but will take many years if not decades or centuries to be like they are in Halo. Well all these things in Halo don't exist at that level until the 2500s anyway so you are spot on with that. Anyway, guess I either have to become immortal or plan to go into cryo-sleep until 2553.
I know it doesn’t appear anywhere outside of the novels, but I’d like to see a video about the Spartan-III’s SPI armor. It seems far more realistic, and I’m curious to know how close we are to making it.
SPI armor works on a system of one way screens and micro cameras the cameras capture images from one side of an object and projected on the screen of the opposite side and so forth on a 360% surface, it would technically be possible on a a plated surface but it would take a lot of computing power and the body suit or probably not have the same components. (SPI armor is *"adaptive camouflage"* while the covenant's camo is *"active camouflage"* using light bending)
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly Can that display survive shocks and constant shacking. Cuz that's mostly the reason why vehicles don't have big screens as "Windows". They mostly crack.
@@ls200076 no they will get destroyed pretty easily. and fast movements or light changes will sometimes (depending on what exactly happens) can cause the system to reset and cause half of the suit to look like it's glitching/melting the other half to look like that standard gray for a few seconds. Although if it were faced with a blunt melee attack there is a decent chance that the panels will dent and there will be an even stranger looking wavy section of the air within the all ready wavy section of the air. Kelly actually did that to a S-III and he had a palm shaped indent in his chest plate. (Another reason not to sneak up on a Spartan II) all in all the armor is bulletproof and can take at least one superheated plasma shot, upgraded models can include energy Shields but it is not an armor you want to wear for a long time, it's more of a mission only armor and not a field armor.
@@BlueTeam-John-Fred-Linda-Kelly We actually have tech just like that today. It's called "TV's" or "highly reflective mirrors" which, when placed on a object, said object can become invisible to the naked human eye, only seeable via infrared. The only problem with it is that, well A. It's pretty heavy B. You'd need a fuck ton of energy enclosed into a small space to effectively carry it at all to begin with. C. Money, and cost. After all, in the Halo Universe a single Spartan suit is about as much as a single star ship capable of slipspace. In terms of what you said about CPU power and all that other nonsense...nah. You don't need that much CPU power in order to process reflective technology, which is already a thing today. You just need a ton of energy, let's say a Jet engine, because that's exactly what they're placing it on right now.
Tony is a technical engineering genius. Not to mention the scrap he was using was also working tech that he took apart / melted down to create his first suit. Ironically if he existed in Halo ONI would have him designing weapons and armor for the UNSC. They would pay him ofcourse. But if he refused well he would have a mysterious accident. Meanwhile Spartans are superhuman soldiers trained and educated to the point that they are tactical genius. Their higher education in physics, astrophysics, etc . Does not mean a Spartan like Chief could actually build a suit of armor. That's not their expertise. It's people like Tony Stark's expertise.
Funny the plasma shield idea is similar to how the covenants plasma weapons work in halo, plasma condensed and shaped by magnets into a useful shape, like with the energy sword
The thing to consider about Mjölnir armor and the spartans themselves is that they aren't the bulk of the infantry, they're specialised strike teams for high stakes difficult missions. They're kind of jack of trades units.... imagine a group of just Captain Americas, they wouldn't have the most powerful team but would be really diverse and adaptable.
They can flip tanks, and one of them can bicep curl a Warthog with ease one-handed. They're pretty damn strong, but there aren't many of them and using spec-ops like ground-based infantry is, in general, a stupid idea. So yeah, they're used exactly as you said.
Silver-tongued Devil I know it’s unlikely we’ll ever encounter another sentient species, just cause the universe is huge, but I like to think we should prepare for any eventuality
Timing is key. And it came out at a bad time, during the dominance of Halo and Mass Effect it was basically impossible for a Sci-Fi game to get a lot of traction... no matter how sweet.
2:46 The power source would probably be Thorium. Thorium is a much more common element than Uranium and is much more powerful than Uranium, at least 100x more powerful. The best part about Thorium is that it doesn't produce nuclear waste. Edit: If they use fission instead of fusion.
I’m pretty sure I saw a documentary a few years ago about the US Army developing some sort of microwave shield system. Basically, they were developed to be put on hummers, tanks, and other heavy land vehicles. A sophisticated sensor would detect incoming fire (specifically RPGs) and would aim a microwave emitter in that direction and superheated the air approximately 1-2 meters away into a plasma. This would cause the RPG to detonate before it hit the vehicle as well as directing some of the impact away from the vehicle. It would also instantly incinerate any normal bullets.
I’d take MKVI gen2 Deadeye because of its marksman enhancement and long range thermal cloaking abilities. Not having to worry about being sniped is a big bonus
So, basically a prototype Space Marine armor, only with a shield built in standard,...or at least until the mk X Primaris Marine armors. Ok, I have a bucket of popcorn, let’s watch!!
Allen, I am so happy that I stumbled upon your channel. Your programs are very enjoyable. So much so that I didn't hesitate for a moment in subscribing to your channel. Keep up the great work and I will be looking forward to your future videos.
The bit about the power source is actually a common plot point in many sci fi stories. Where the robot/suit/whatever needs more power than the tech can produce. IE, even in Halo, the MJOLNIR Mark's I-III all had external generators.
The Movie was not that good despite it's flaws but the armor is very good, there is more then one chapter btw. Building an actual suit itself would have some problems such as price of materials, the helmet, and of course the bolter
I love your explanation on why not to give troops reactive armour.....when in Halo Reach UNSC Army troops actually do have Explosive reactive armour plates. Also if you love Spartan armour...what is your opinion on UNSC Navy ships and the likelihood that we could make ships like them in the future?
Scattergunsniper Actually that’s false. The thighs are protected by plates of UA/NxRA non-explosive reactive armor with attachment rigs for equipment. This comes from Halopedia.
i personally thought the human could have designed them better and bigger because from what ive seen in halo it seems that the ships look more like a support vessel then a warship( just my opinion)
@@PackHunter117 Whoops, thats my bad. But if they are non explosives....why even add that to its name? The UNSC marine armor does have panels named in such a manner
@@jackpeterson7702 Well what ship class you referring too? Frigates? Because they are technically support vessels. Plus small ships like the Sahara class prowler are still bigger than the WWII Yamato class battleship.
Fusion Core - Lockheed Martin (CFR; Compact Fusion Reactor) Brain Computer Interface - Elon Musk (Neural Lace) Energy Shield - Dark Matter Assisted..... (Oh wait we don't even know what dark matter is yet) And wa la, MJLONIR armour V 1.0
Just make the suit armoured , enough to take thousands of bullets , no need for a energy shield as it should be used for close qaurters soldier vs soldier combat . And a few billion usd and i can become a spartan ? I think i found my motivation
10:40 reached for the pause button to comment about reactive armor. 10:45 Reactive armor mentioned. Very thorough, wish I could add an extra like to the video.
There is also the biofeedback control option from the Starship Troopers book, where the suit is lined with pressure sensors. Moving a limb puts pressure on the sensors, and the suit then moves in that direction until the pressure is removed.
I have seen research being done into "beaming" energy, this would remove the need for a battery or power core. Of course, that shield you mentioned might interfere with it.
That was one of the problems with the UNSC's first attempts at powered armor the first one had to have a cable tether and the second one had to have a large non portable energy beaming generator somewhat close by, Obviously neither is very viable for combat.
The personal experience under the Iron Dome was a reality gut punch in the middle of the usual highly-educational-masked-as-lightly-entertaining video Alan. This is the third video I’ve shared with my very non-gamer dad.
For the shields you can combine the iron dome idea with shields and have a low energy detection shield that’s always on but once it detects a high energy impact it redirects the amount of energy to that spot needed to stop the projectile. This way you aren’t wasting energy but you can still take super high energy impacts.
I actually like how power armor is portrayed in Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars. There, unlike in Halo or even Warhammer 40k with the Space Marine power armor, Johnny Rico simply wears a black suit but the spine and on the upper back there appears to be a large disc shaped device which allows him to interface with the armor. It seems kinda more practical in a way simply because you don't have to operate on every soldier who receives the set of armor, they simply have to be physically fit soldiers who can wear the suit.
We can build functional Fusion Reactors, it’s just that at the moment they produce less energy than is economical for how much energy is used to sustain the reaction.
The liquid crystal Gel layer is more used to the suits function than it is heal the user. In the Combat Evolved game and books spartans had to pick up health packs for sealing bad wounds. The gel layer adds to the suit's ability to to be fast and agile and allows the user to have some form of protection in the suit. I know this info may not make it to the follow up video of this, but i thought it be helpful. Source is from the Dr. Halsey Journal from Halo Reach preorder bundles. Might be able to find it elsewhere too. GoldWolf119, Out.
There was a Warhammer 40k movie with the Space Marine armor (the OG Halo armor). The flaw a lot of "Suits" have and movies ignore is the inertia from impacting the insides of the body. Falling 30 stories, it won't matter how good your armor, as your insides will be pancaked inside your body. Like when Tony gets shot out of the sky by a tank. He'd be dead, even if his armor was undented. That's actually why cars crumple to absorb the inertia. As for the plasma window, what about the temperature around, wouldn't you boil just being near it?
what you could do is using the attracting and pushing away sides of magnets and have a metal plate lined with magnets that and magnets on the armour and a radar system can detect incoming shots and move over to the direction of that shot to block it
i personal would rather be in a mark 5 spartan armor over any other exoskeleton Allen or Ben talked about and you should do another video on halo MJLONIR spartan armor
scremingHawk That's how they do it with the Landmates in the anime Appleseed, but those things are much larger, coming it at something like eight or nine feet tall. They're large enough that the pilot's arms don't actually fit into the armor's main arms. The pilot uses smaller, separate armored 'sleeves' and a mo-cap computer to get the machine to mimic the pilot's arm movements. The downside is it looks like it would put the pilot at a huge risk of getting both arms sheared off if they move the wrong way, but the upside is they can carry around 30mm autocannons like they're normal infantry rifles. And besides, getting extensive, seamlessly-integrated cybernetics is a common thing in that universe anyway, roughly on the order of getting Lasik, so losing an arm or two is not as much of a long-term problem as it might sound. Either way, the whole thing is (apparently) powered by a small but very powerful (and presumably super-efficient) internal combustion engine.
@@anxiousearth680 It would be within the normal range of motion, yes. That's the problem: brushing something closely along the pilot's midsection would be fine if they're just wearing a uniform, but since the pilot is positioned a bit like an infant strapped to their parent's chest in a baby carrier, that could cause a self-inflicted injury if they're using a Landmate when they do it.
@9:00 - I am going to say you are wrong about who can wear the armor. Neural laces are supposed to be fairly common. (Something like all Officers and Special Forces soldier- Spartans and ODST - had Neural laces...) There is a HALO 'Movie" on RU-vid that is mostly cut-scenes. This shows a Marine testing the armor. He at least gets his arm shattered. (I think that his arm gets ripped off, or he gets killed.) It is cannon that only Spartans can wear the armor. The Spartans had their nevus-system replaced with a super-conducting element that transmitted the data at light-speed. The Spartan II's were the only ones that could wear the Mjolnir V and VI armors... The Spartan II's, III's, and IV's literally had supernaturally (well, cybernetically) fast reactions.
Plasma door. That idea was covered in the books. The shield covers the entire armour and like when they grab weapons they are not actually touching the weapon. Something science magic about friction for that fact about how their feet are not actually making contact with the surface they are on.
I think we should be doing more research on high capacity flexible batteries and capacitors. Miniaturized fusion tech is probably 100 years in the future so if we want something like this to exist sooner i am sure we can find a way to make it work with things like what I just mentioned. It won't be perpetual, but if you had a way to easily charge said batteries/capacitors quickly, it would make sense.
They are currently building a prototype fusion reactor in France(that way nothing important is destroyed if it goes boom) that is supposed to be rated to 650MW.
4 years later we have breakthroughs in Fusion, neuralink is kind of a thing, and artificial intelligence is growing. The original Mjlonir armor is SO much more possible just 4 years later.
Fun fact about fusion: tokamacs may actually never work because their engineering requirements regarding superheated core materials right next to supercooled superconductors are too extreme and the magnetic enclosure of fuel plasma is very chaotic. Many other engineering approaches exist and are competing to be the first to reach Break-Even. Eric Lerner, using a dense plasma focus device, has heated his fuel to over a billion Kelvin. Which is very necessary because stars cheat with fusion, as their extreme density aids in achieving fusion at a fraction of the needed temperatures. So while our sun burns _only_ at about 15 million Kelvin, even ten times that is still too cold for fusion in the near-vacuum of a reactor application. One the plus-side though, a tokamac's donut-shape is pretty distinctive and cool.
Definitely go over the MJOLNIR fail safe next video, where if a Spartan falls in battle, the armor's fusion reactor can be set to self destruct, effectively letting the killed Spartan literally go down in a blaze of glory.
Energy shields... I remember reading on a Solid Light projector. Think Green Lantern but not nearly as compact or effective... yet. Shields like we want to think of them combined with open air holograms to create shields that can slow or stop bullets blunt explosions,and even protect against impacts from melee attacks or long falls. This technology is about as far along as the Warp drive, only the basic concepts have been confirmed possible in the lab, but no working stand alone device yet.
There was an interesting bit of news that came out roughly the same day this video came out that's tangentially related. You mentioned a fusion reaction getting to 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, well the EAST reactor in China just managed to reach 100 million degrees Celsius (about 6.66 times hotter plus or minus a double bacon and cheese sandwich), as a species we're really getting close to figuring out this technology.
The iron dome reacts to incoming threats, and sends counter measures to specific coordinates. If those coordinates were to be constant and square shaped, with the counter measure also energy based and maintained at a constant deployment at high frequency, it should produce a wall, though admittedly a wall that makes the air explode constantly. Fun for a rave though lol. I think it might be fair to say that energy walls might have more to do with light molecules. Pretty sure that's the term to Google, idea reminds me of hard light from red dwarf. Perhaps it's possible to create a proof of concept?
I agree that any energy shield system would need to be reactive. That's why it would have to use highly sensitive sensors to detect incoming projectiles and react by projecting high amounts of energy to intercept and eliminate.
Of course Nothing by 343 Industries is canon but if you really care enough about spaceships having energy Shields then you can believe in the 343 cancer.
@beta wave well I'm going to assume it consists of multiple guys in a room jacking off, even if a girl was involved it is still not my thing. I'm more of a one on one when it comes to sex. This has gotten out of hand, yet another ruined comment chain.
Cool, but I’m more interested in getting the augments. I don’t need the height, but the skeletal, muscular, and genetic augments are more interesting to have.
In order to build something like this , it would have to be practical and efficient . It would have to be super light and you would have to have metal elements like that on the predator armour , which comprises of metals not known to man. Where it was quoted it's "light as a feather but cuts like steel". Not to mention the nano technology for the A.I. . It would be an incredible undertaking.
an actual body armor expert evaluated the halo armor and stated that under curtrant armor technology it is still too heavy of a system, not because it is unable to be worn, but rather because it has enough mass that it will do more damage to the wearer.
What the hell are you talking about? The biochips where to control the Clones with the 150 contingency orders, and possibly to make them more docile and less rowdy like Jango Fett. If you are talking about chemicals clone troopers or never given any kind of steroids it was all biology, training, and a very controlled diet.
But energy shielding in halo is a contained plasma, literally the exact same as what you described in starwars. The only thing is that the shield would have to be separated into a bunch of small areas on the body(like it already is with the glowing shield emitters all over his suit) and just not have any on the hands so the plasma doesn't fuck up anything he touches(idk if his suit already does that)
