Legendary video, as a senior in mechanical engineering this is so inspiring to see. Will look forward to seeing what you will produce the years ahead. GODSPEED
I think I know why you aren’t as big as someone doing what you are doing should be. 1) exposure 2) ego/ pseudo intellectual speak. Once you figure out how to be confident but not cocky things should be better. But take what I say with a grain of salt, I’m one guy with an opinion in a world of billions
God this is awesome i am so grateful to have ppl like you and hacksmith working on these incredibly important and technologically advancing projects that also happen to ignite my childhood dreams and the ones i still have. Bless you.
Man I have never been so inspired to do something I don't know what probly just clean my house but you know it might not be the ideal but you did inspire me so now I'm off to clean my house thanks man
Mad props for your dedication and determination to build and learn as much as you have, very inspirational and proves people can do “impossible” things if they work hard and don’t give up!
I thought the government kidnapped you, & one of my other fav Ironman channels as well. Both of y’all went quiet at the same time for months😂 Love the new post!
I love seeing this type of content, I think even more than the big channels. Like don’t get me wrong, I love watching the hacksmith videos, but there’s something deeply primal about some dude spending two years in a garage creating things that would make 10 years ago look like the Bronze Age. Like the guy who built a hydrogen generator for his arc reactor cosplay, or styropyro creating literal death lasers from microwave ovens. The world of science is truly magical
The Suit is really impressive and your work is really inspiring but in the futher please try to be less cocky it just really come of like that at the last video to where you passivly aggressive commanded your Mom to film a certain spot. Just act a bit more humble and hopefully make the first ironman like suit
The downfall of all Iron Man enthusiasts is that they all want to wear the one suit of armor. They all want to be the one person who accomplishes greatness. They are all working alone. Maybe if all of you worked together, you could design the suit together, and then make one for each of you. I know that's not nearly as cool, but you'll have suits.
Well done! My mrk 1 was nowhere near as cool. It was out of 12 GA wire, cardboard & industrial strength duct tape. It could stop a metal baseball bat though. And it had a removable arc reactor from a led light.
i'm currently building, and near finishing, the second version of my exoskeleton. the first one had some sticky sliders for turning, had a too bulky torso, had a tendency for the knee to slip and a stiff back. so it was kind of a athritis simulator. it weighed 15 kg, but is self supporting unless the knee slip happened. i finished it late last year the now restructured variant a has a way better back design, replaces all sliders with bar mechanisms (way simpler. this methode is limited in range of rotation, but so is our body), has a way better knee mechanism that does not slip and can lock standing and kneeling, is way easier to put on and weighs only 9kg. i'll see if i can make some makeshift armor out of the 6 kg of material i have now left over. during the design of the first suit i switched from a 3x90° system for the joints to a way more form fitting, less mechanicaly stressing and still full RoM 2x90+45° system. this better mirrors the human joint RoM and does not have extra physiologicaly impossible range like 3x90°.
@@DylanEdmiston a mechanism that is based on jointed bars/arms as opposed to sliding elements. such a system is less prone to snag than a sliding system, but is more complicated. your shoulder 3x90° system can be made from such a bar system, as a gimbal, for example by placing the arm rotation as a single point above the sholder ( and splitting the sideways raiser into two 45° elements with the same center of rotation to avoid sideways lift interference from the slider turned jointed bar). by using flatter than 90° angles a more far away center of rotation, though with a more limited range of motion, can be approximated. i use such a system (as a 1.5 paralel stack, so 3 bars and 4 joints mirrored to 6 bars and 4 centers of rotation ) for the waist, as it allows for the whole mechanism to fit behind the back wile keeping the centers of rotation in the spine. its limited RoM fits the limit of our spinal RoM, it is simpler than a slider combination and is way easier to put on. the slider+ 90° bar 1.5 stack i used before was way to sticky and barely managable to equip. another bar design i use is the four link cross bar knee joint mechanism. its sturdier than a double gear mechanism while performing the same function. a cross-bar design mirrors how the cruciate ligament works. strandbeasts are a wild mix of different bar mechanisms.
the second version of my exoskeleton is now fully assembled, self supporting and mobile. now its time to add the belts so it does not try to squat while i'm in it. :'D
i rarely like videos like very very rarely and i live on youtube research adv tech hidden history and this was just so beautiful and inspiring. Wotans Speed brother
Please keep at this brother, been watching since the start and you’re one of the only people on yt doing it! Keep refining and keep mastering, find it so cool
i hope you are still going strong ^^ my suit has been functionaly wearable for a while, but i'm still adding to it. more optimized fitting braces are next, after which i will redo the straps. the spring system works as planned.
been following your channel since you only had a few dozen views per video, its awesome to see you start to blow up and get the recognition you deserve for your insane work.
To start off this comment is coming from an individual who wants to see this succeed, and wants your success. As an engineer, I have some friendly advice that may be helpful for your design process. It seems that you are approaching the design process by engineering forward, but it may be more effective to engineer backwards. In other words, rather than starting from scratch and trying to create all of the necessary components and systems, consider starting with the desired performance outcome - in this case, a wearable armored flying suit - and then finding ways to incorporate existing technologies and systems that can help you achieve that goal. For example, the fighter jet is an example of a high-performance aircraft that has many of the capabilities you are seeking. By focusing on making a fighter jet-like system wearable, you can leverage the work that has already been done to develop that technology and focus your efforts on the innovation of making it wearable. this way, you can focus on innovation rather than recreating work that has already been done. I hope this advice is of insight and is useful to you.
Be careful with your mark 2 padding and suport helps but.. I'm sure you have noticed with your work on the mark 1 suit sickness is real man... Remember the stronger the power the more strain it puts on your everything be careful old friend
Awesome your channel along with alex lab and the hacksmith and jlaservideo and web shooter channels like the human spider and the amazing. you are all inspiring
