Ghostbusters Afterlife Phoebe Spengler Hero #2 Proton Pack Full Demonstration 

I also really love this pack.

Thanks! It's probably the most accurate pack I've built over all these years.

@@mburkithow long did it take you? Amazing work friend

@@MechaniclifeJDM about 2 years to find all the parts and work out the electronics.

@@mburkit my son and I were just at Ghostbusters day in Los Angeles, we were there in full gear, but we are looking to improve our packs, would you consider helping us with the electronics and maybe a few other tips?

@@MechaniclifeJDM I would suggest looking on gbfans.com or looking into the "Spengler's 1984 Workbench" on Facebook. You can get help there.

Thanks, Vinny!

How much is your life savings lol

@@mburkit Not that much lol. But I’d use every last penny mate 😂

I was gonna say, if you have a couple hundred grand, I could probably find it in my heart to part with this pack hahahaha.

No, that is a full aluminum from the same person that made them for the film.

Everything on this pack is made like the hero packs were in Afterlife. The only thing printed on this pack are the booster frame and the filler tube cap. The shell is a modified cast from a screen used GB1 pack.

And if you watch the film, in the scene where Phoebe first fired the pack with Podcast, they spin counter clockwise.

@@mburkit I did, still looks clockwise…

@@what0080 not only is it spinning counter clockwise in that scene, it is also spinning counter clockwise when Phoebe first fired at Muncher inside Rust City.

@@mburkit Upon further review (read: I slowed down footage from my 4K copy of the movie) , it seems you were correct. It was counter clockwise…

@@Ghostbusterspropsbuildguy yes I made the pack and the electronics.

Pulled from the movie itself.

@@mburkit okay thank you!

It is from the company Gibson and Barnes. It's custom made. I had to add the patches myself.

They are custom made by me. I do not sell them. They are a pain in the ass to make and I only do this stuff as a hobby.

I was mistaken

God, I hope so.

Well it likely cost a lot more so I would hope so..

Tons of spray paint. Mostly Krylon "Brown Boot" followed by some olive drab.

I made it all myself. Most of the components I sourced online, mainly from Amazon.

@@mburkit thanks man!

@@mburkit what motor did you use for the belt that spins the light?

@@Domsweirdvideos a 1000rpm 12v dc motor. Something like this: www.amazon.com/uxcell-40-50mA-1000RPM-Torque-Motor/dp/B005HNHJAO

This cost a lot more than $1500. This was all custom made by me.

It is mainly just a delineation that is made from some of the Facebook groups I belong to that are hyper focused on accuracy. We call the pack that Adam Savage and Tested posted reference material for was #2 while the one that Adam handled on set was #1. #1 was also the one worn by Phoebe when she first tested the pack with Podcast outside of "Rust City."

@@mburkitGotcha. When Savage posted his photos I noticed differences between that one and the Pack used in the promo pic on the Afterlife app. I didn't realize they were both Hero Packs though.

@@Calmerthanyou yeah, we believe there were 2 hero Phoebe packs and several foam stunts.

@@mburkit Btw, I just wanted to thank you for being so kind to Sarah. Please know it means a lot to me. I'm helping, but she's doing a lot of the leg work on her Afterlife build. Funny enough, after a little while I asked her how she was coming up with some of the things she was doing. She confidently replied "a friend" and walked away. Lol. So, thank you.

@@Calmerthanyou yeah, no problem. I haven't had to do much; I think she is mostly following my posts on public forums. But she has reached out and she seems to be very happy with her build so far.

Nope. I own 6 proton packs. I think my wife would kill me if I had bought a haslab pack.

@@mburkit awe man to bad a comparison video would have been cool :)

It's a bargraph I bought from China that I am driving with a chip from Adafruit and an Arduino.

It's a spinning incandescent light like what they used in the film props.

@@mburkit i making a proton pack , can you show me the interior of your pack ?

@@mburkitIf GB4 2023 have a new proton pack , you have plans to make one ?

@@KRiSTUBE723 maybe. Depends on if I like the design.

From Gibson and Barnes, the same company that made the flight suits for Ghostbusters 2.

@@mburkit it's available off the rack like that?

@@silverexpress57 you just have to add the patches yourself.

Nope! And I don't do commissions. These are just my personal packs. Sadly with my normal day job, I don't have time to build packs for others.

I don't think I could build enough of them fast enough to enough people to make it worth my time. I do love this pack and I am sure others would love to own one too, but I need to stick with my day job.
