Adam Savage's One Day Builds: EPIC Spacesuit! (Part 3)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Adam's xEMU-inspired spacesuit continues to take form! Now comes some of the real fun stuff--wiring the electrical systems for lights and sound, and making all of that functionality accessible from a custom control box mounted to the front of the suit. The proper helmets finally arrive as well, and getting them attached magnetically with a CNC-machined neckring couldn't be more satisfying!

Adam. I thought of a product that may be of great use with regards the wiring things you do. The style of electrical connectors used in car wiring harnesses. Deutsch waterproof connectors. Male and female connectors that come in two wires upto multiple wires ( 40 plus ) . Easy to connect and disconect
you should look up motorcycle helmet communication devices for the internal speakers.
Important Question: Will there ever be an update on The Martian suit?! It has been years.
Adam ; have a built-in electrolysis unit and a water tank to replenish oxygen or for a back up !!!
Would something like adjustable air bladders help for stabilizing the suit around your core? Like a blood pressure cuff but on a larger scale.
Kevin seems to be genuinely excited about the suits, and it's great to see. Glad he's not just working, but is actually geeked out like the rest of us. Great work Adam and team, these are amazing!
He was truly a delight to work with, and genuinely interested in the process (and of course the result). Thank you for the comment!
Build it three times. Best life hack I’ve heard this week. Putting this in my tool belt to reach my kid. Your like a geeky Yoda. Woot woot!!!
The blue light is also good for announcing Kmart sales!
What's Kmart lol
Attention Kmart shoppers! We now have a Bluelight Special in the spacesuit aisle.."
Shop Smart.
@@brettsalter3300 so tempted to do the Evil Dead
@@brettsalter3300 “shop S-Mart!”
I've been watching your content for a few years. I'm a book illustrator, and videos like these are so helpful with all the closeups of all the parts that make up a space suit like this. It's fascinating watching your process, because you keep things so loose in the figurative sense and spontaneous, even when working with fibre glass and what not.
With regards to the hollywood lighting: It would be cool to use a silvered visor at a con, turn the lights off for anonymity... but turn the internal lights on and TA DA! its Adam Savage!
Exactly what I thought as well!
This build has been amazing to watch. Adam, your team here have been great, thank you. Jen, Christine, Brent... Great job!
I would consider a compliant mount for the antennas. They may hit low hanging objects, namely door ways. Having a mount with give in it means they won't get snapped off on the way to Comicon.
Or make out of rubber
Or have them magnetically attach, or be spring bendable.
@@machinenoise9622 Magnetic attachment has the problem of they can get knocked off at an unknown location. Springs are a member of a compliant mount, so is rubber.
The "narrative" idea makes so much sense. When I am learning a new piece of music I get nowhere until I have made a narrative for the music.
I wish the strobe was more of a slow pulsing than a fast flickering. It would feel more serene, like an astronaut exploring the calm and quiet surface of the moon.
It's only calm and quiet for the first couple of minutes. Then the alien zombies rise from the ground and start chasing him.
@Bruhman420 I dont have to replicate his whole project just to say what I like and don't like about it. Its just an opinion dude. Sheesh.
Whatever Peter
Stop being a dick Peter.
Tbh I think it’s perfect the way it is.
As someone who deals with wiring diagrams I loved how you walked through them Adam.
One thing I found funny was how you describe redrawing the wiring diagram 3 times in order to get it correct. What's interesting is that in my industry you didn't do a wiring diagram 3 times. You made your component layout tied to your BOM (in controls this would be like a BOM structure). Then you drew the schematic that shows all the wiring for the whole system (Arguably the most important part and very important for troubleshooting). Then finally you drew the connection diagram (how to connect between the major systems).
Each of these drawing conveys information in a different way and is useful at different times in the build.
I could just sit and watch Adam connect and disconnect the visor over and over. That magnetic click into place is simply the best. Love watching these super-detailed builds!!
Always great when Jen shows up in a Tested Video!
Right?!
Jen had a HUGE monstrous task. Somehow she pulled it off 'perfectly'.
I'm loving the "back packs"! I'm imaging them like mission packs. Each one has a different set of functions, for different types of missions. Just pop a different one on your suit for different missions.
Should have used a strip of neopixels around the inside of the helmet so you could (for example) light the face with orange from below and blue from above. They could also be used to provide information to the "passenger" (ex., flash some of them if the battery is getting low, turn the bottom red if the temperature is getting too high, etc. - all fairly easy to code with an Arduino and some basic sensors).
Way more views deserved on this one.
Hey Adam + Tested Crew! Im been an avid viewer for a few years now. Currently I'm studying architecture and I find Adam's building + design process incredibly inspiring. just thought I'd say thanks :)
Thank YOU for being an avid viewer, and thank you for your comment! VERY cool about your studying architecture, too!
I love that halo effect on the centre of the dome, when we were looking from inside the open suit when the face lights are on. At 21:19.
The Apollo suits had an antenna sticking up from the back of the PLSS. So yes, you need antennas. You nailed it.
As I've followed this build, I thought about those great (and terrible . . . but also great) old space movies. Right up to the early 1960s, it was pretty easy for filmmakers to put their "space suits" together. Audiences had never seen a real pressure suit for use in space, so the costume department could just get a couple of surplus gee-suits, hang some SCUBA cylinders and hoses on the thing, and Bob's your uncle. Today's audiences have been trained to expect more, so building something that looks like an EMU is almost as hard as building an actual EMU.
I'll give it 1% as hard as building a real pressure suit.
Several of the Stargate episodes showed genuine looking suits down (mostly the upper body) down to the two hard points at the waist area.
Adam geeks out over his own WIP builds. What a nerd! None of the rest of us do that, like, ever. :)
5:50 -- They're escaping!
The more i watch adam build stuff and see him explain his process, i wish i had him as a tech teacher, i have learnt more random knowledge about little fields of understanding i did the 30s before then i ever did in school
As someone who's working on a Mandalorian, this video is super handy! I've had no idea on how to wrap my head around planning the electronics.
In software development we always plan to build whatever we're doing 3 times. The axiom used most is "Make it work, make it right, make it tight". Seems to be a universal concept :)
Wiring diagrams and schematics were some of my favourite parts of my sound production diploma. Now I’m doing a schematic for my brothers boat wiring.
18:10
anyone else expect Adam to say, "this is normally the point where we would bring in Grant." RIP
I think Adam would be an absolute fantastic dude to just hang out with and shoot the shit with because he has a true honest passion and personality.
Evocative; new favorite word. Thanks, Adam!
Thanks for this:m. Had a very stressful day at work and seeing part 3 of this amazing build was ready to watch, put a smile on my face. Cathartic and amazing all at the same time. Thank you!
Should have left the red light in addition to the other to indicate trouble. If blue means "functioning properly," then off means "not functioning properly"?
The spray paint for the boots was Plasti Dip. It's a pretty good product, If anyone was curious.
54:04 - yes it is Adam, yes it is :) that's why we are all here watching you
I can buy the Hollywood helmet lights in a more industrial grade suit because it's nice to be able to see who you're taking to while you're working. It seems like it would be nice thing to have for the same reason they put them in movies, facial expressions and whatnot.
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! BEST VIDEOS IVE SEEN ALL YEAR! You all are amazing! Thanks for sharing Adam SAVAGE!!
Thanks to all involved for another fantastic video ❤️
The hot awl trick seems to work lovely, very nice
Adam mentions the chest coolers a lot where at the beginning of the build he mentioned the refrigeration unit with the full body liquid cooling system. I'm a bit disappointed that the full body liquid cooling system with the custom refrigerant system won't be making it in, I was excited to see technicality behind that.
Amazing build Adam and team! Can’t wait for part 4
For hard suits like that I'd really recommend using 3 offset joints. Have a good look at hard diving suits for example. There's 2 pie wedges and a simple lateral rotation joint. It's not all that hard to build if the sealing function isn't necessary.
I was thinking In earlier videos, all this nice machines and no cnc machine or 3d printer. But I said to myself, making it by hand is probably what he’s done before those became as mainstream as they are. There is something about working with your hands and seeing additional bandages appear on fingers. Great build! It shows that you love your work.
The antennas would to my mind be more like 'Rubber ducky" ones, something that would bend and spring back if knocked whilst working on your moon rover problem.
That was the same thing I thought. Rigid ones are less practical.
Absolutely
Yeah! got 80's TV Vibes from that layout, id of thought a small stubby one either "Rubber Ducky" or Discrete "Hump" would of sufficed.
Personally, I would have put a Wi-Fi antenna (the thick kind that bend in the middle) on the _side_ of that box. If it gets knocked it just bends down or rotates back - and looks like something from _this_ century.
How awesome would a ‘museum style’ tour be of Adams workshop!! I’d pay to walk round there!
To a European eye, the flashing blue light says “emergency services” while yellow/amber would be “machine at work”.
As for the antennae, I love the rationale of “I don’t know if you need antennae, but my suit does”. It’s all about verisimilitude rather than realism.
Amazing as always - it turned out so great!!!
The space hard shell briefs deserve a one more go for a 1.2 version of this thing. It looks super top-heavy. Believable, but super top heavy.
I agree, and I think it would look less like the astronaut skipped leg day…
Not space suit related but seen this weekend a sneak preview of Adam on the corridor crews react sofa. It's my RUclips worlds colliding and I can't wait!
This series is just amazing
The interior light makes it look like some kind of glowing ethereal being is inhabiting the suit!
Until I got a small form factor CNC machine I had no idea how much fun doing something like this would be!
I looked at "The Abyss Movie" deep dive suits and the "Battlestar Galactica" reimagined series Viper pilot suits and helmets and I decided since I was spending so much time and money, I might as well make a REAL WORKING combination deep dive Hardsuit and upright-walkable Deep Space suit with actual tungsten-coating radiation hardening and 450 psi resistance (for 1000 feet ocean water depths) and negative pressure resistance for space!
The hard body and boots and vacuum seals were borrowed from what I saw on a real deep-dive NewtSuit but using carbon composite fibre shell and titanium ball joints for elbows, knees, fingers/knuckles but the helmet design I "borrowed" from Battlestar Galactica but done in corrosion-resistant Titanium Alloy for the separation/rotation rings and THICK Polycarbonate with a sputtered Sapphire coating for the visor!
Radiation hardening was done by vacuum sputtering multi-layers of tungsten films on the interior of the carbon-kevlar fibre shell! I even optically corrected the clear visor face for the 20% to 25% greater refraction of ocean and fresh water so that my eyes/brain aren't tricked by the normally distorted hand and feet movements and normally distorted in-water-perceived distances!
It works GREAT at one atmosphere internal pressure down to 400 feet (about 450 psi water pressure) in salt water and is much more flexible than the Newtsuits since I can actually DIVE AND WALK UPRIGHT with it on the ocean floor! Obviously I haven't tested it for SPACE VACUUM but it should work at negative pressures since the joints are FULLY-SEALED and won't vapourize the ball-joint sealant oil even at cryogenic liquid helium temperatures (-269C) and high-vacuum (I tested for that!)
It's a HEAVY SUIT (80+ lbs) but it's worth it to build from scratch!
CNC of the fully-sealed rotatable ball joints in Aerospace and Marine grade anti-corrosion Titanium alloy took about 48 hours per wrist, knee, elbow, shoulder, ankle and finger joints. Costs were about $200 to $800 USD PER JOINT (about $11,000 USD total) for the titanium blocks I had to buy retail. The carbon kevlar fibre helmet, body parts shells I just custom formed from 3D printed molds which were made from Carbon-Kevlar composite cloth layers. About $2000 USD for all those parts combined!
The optically clear polycarbonate helmet visor was CNC machined from a single pressure-resistant formula of polycarbonate block (UV2 grade) at a thickness of 10 mm and machine buffed to optical-grade clarity and refraction-corrected for underwater viewing with no distortion. (about $1200 USD)
Had I just used 6061-T6 Series Aluminum alloy, I could have done this all for less than $5500 USD but then again now I can replicate this job MUCH FASTER in that material now that I know what I am doing!

Regarding the overshoes solution, sometimes we don't know what we don't know. I've been wearing my Neos for over a decade, and always feel like I'm suiting up for a Lunar EVA when I cinch them on. I recently used them to make a 3D moon-print by pressing a sole into some ceramic tile mortar mix. Mine are bright green, though. I may have to look into some Leather Spray for a color change.
We have a wrapper on our factory floor. It has a stop-light beacon: green for "everything's good, ready to wrap/wrapping", yellow for "standby", and red for "no-go". I imagine that a worker's suit would have something similar: blue means "I'm go for construction and/or constructing", yellow for "I have an issue" and red for "emergency" (which would be especially important in the case of comms casualty).
This is why I love this channel. It engages every single storytelling/problem-solving circuit in my brain. Thank you, Adam & Tested Team!
Oh Adam, Ahhh "THE ABYSS" one of my mom's and mine favorite movies of all time. Great movie to draw ideas from. Great job in packing as much detail in to the suit. I still use the line Virgil "Bud" used threw out the movie, "Keep your pantyhose on!" Only the older guys get the reference in my shop. That line trips up my younger guys every time. Lol
It has pretty good art direction / production design. Sadly, the plot (as with every movie ever written by James Cameron) hinges on a sequence of technical blunders (like the "white and black" vs. "yellow and blue" wires near the end, which would violate basic design guidelines, that exist precisely to _prevent_ that kind of situation).
Been waiting for more of this build!
OCD triggered... I think the switches should be reversed... Flick back for on and forward for off... If you had to fall a rock or debris could go between the switch guards and swith something off you needed on 🤘🏼👍🏼👌🏼
What brands of rubber / leather spray was he using on the boots?
I was hoping to get a glimpse of them in the video but I couldn't see.
My guess would be Plasti Dip. It’s a staple in the cosplay community for covering rubber and foam.
This build is so good. I once made a cardboard companion cube and the geometry of arm/leg/head holes in a rigid body costume is an absolute nightmare
56:54 "Remember don't tighten down any until they're all in!"
Can't tell if that's a tip for us viewers or he's reminding himself. XD
G4 is back and SOOO good. The 2nd episode of AOTS streamed yesterday (today on their cable channel?). Also the Cat DJ is wearing the spacesuit again.
i wish there were more projects where artists were just allowed to go hog wild cause they always end up cool like this
So cool. I love the builds and insights.
I live in Fairbanks, Alaska (it was close to -35 earlier this week (pick your units)) and boot covers never occurred to me. I don't see them around either. Perhaps it's because we're technically an Arctic desert and so we don't worry about mud in the winter? But I love the idea; I'm going to look for some that would fit my shoes.
43:19 They filtrate the air with activated charcoal (or something akin to that, possibly some chemical stuff as well). My CV19 mask uses similar principles, can't smell any odor from the outside world, only the rubber of my mask, and my breath (don't eat garlic before going out, learnt the hard way). It's actually useful, because once the charcoal loses its potency, i know it's time to discard the cartridge for a new one. Lasts about a month of continuous use.
Cooling vest! Now we know what the extra switch is for!
Love your work Adam!! Also, as to how these would end up looking when used by real people, for real work out on the lunar surface, I really expect there would be Nose Art, or unique designs on the backpacks or pauldrons to be able to identify individuals when the visors are set for maximum filtering. Also would have loved to see you make snoopy caps, and MAGs as the undergarments of a suit are also important 8)
I love all the doodles on the work bench when that girl brings the visor dome
Actually, you can argue the visor light could have a practical application, if we've reached the point where space travel is common. It may be important in future instances where it is common, to be able to see the faces of the people you're working with at all times. It could be for safety, or even just for ease of identification.
The nerd in me is so hoping Adam tries his hands on a Warhammer 40K space marine suit sometime. Dying to see what his skills would make.
I'd think that, if you are working on the moon surface, in a group, you would like to easily see who you are talking to. The LEDs in the helmet work for that, at least in shadow.
Nice work Adam!
I am so pleased you made the visor detachable I was concerned about that I worked aerospace for about 10 years just one of the little guys but everything even the ones is scary
Love this build. Just had an idea about the fake antennas. You should replace the fake antennas with some long range fpv drone antennas, a fpv drone fpv camera and a fpv video transmitter. Like this you can send first person view a few kilometers around you. And the antennas are no more fake😃
Nice Work Adam
To me diagrams are just freeing up some mental space that you have reserved for the construction itself. Writing it down gets it out of there so you can solve other problems throughout the project.
Can't hold everything you might need to remember in your head at once. That's what books are for.
He said " 2001 a spacesuit" haha. Nice Adam!!
I would put some knee pad patches on so I would look more commercial industrial. Definitely wouldn't want to rub a hole in the knees on the moon. 😁
Suit is awesome, really looks like a cross between The Martian and The Abyss. Kind of expect to see pink fluid fill the visor
I think you missed the opportunity to do some Robot Dancing in the Suit...
When you first put it on, I was reminded of when Fry and Leela dressed up as Robots to rescue Bender from the Robot Planet :-D
I literally live and grew up in Canada and I didn't know this was a thing. I need a pair.
Love the blue light flashing, but I instantly cringed at the mount for it... I can't help but feel that NASA would prefer a low profile mount that wouldn't be prone to catching on anything you walk past. :)
I also felt like that. At least make a 3-D printed cover in white and make it "aerodynamic" shaped like a wing strut on a Cessna?
Hi Adam. For your wiring, couldn't you have a system similar to the battery in a laptop where you have a tongue and groove system where electrical connection is made when the door to the backpack is closed. This leaves you to be able to remove and put on the door to the backpack without having to screw and unscrew din plugs.
This space suit replica would be awesome for working in 🏜️ desert hot or ☃️ snow cold weather! Great work 😎👍
I stand in awe of the breadth and depth of the skills of Adam and the team. You inspire me to get making and banish the winter and covid blues. Also, please could someone tell the the title of the Jinglepunks track that starts @53:03 -it has become an earworm and I need to hear it in full to be rid of it!
Given the time constraints, ditching the hard shorts was a good call. But i hope in future you revisit them. The soft pants just doesnt look as good.
The JIM suit, that's what this reminds me of. That was really bothering me. Such a cool project.
I love the fact that he still thinks in television. Can’t say brand names like plasti-dip. Makes the show fascinating.
I was snickering at how he danced around naming the product there, but was disappointed to not be able to name the battery pack manufacturer.
I really want to know how the electrical systems were installed. Especially the coms and with the feedback problem
The beacon should have the ability to turn to rapidly flashing red as a distress signal.
Tested Whats the name of this boot spray?
I d like to know too. Cans do not really lool like Plastidip but that would be my best guess atm
The antennae should have springs in them so they can bend without breaking.
@45:30 Nah, thats just the normal way Kevin walks. He's getting a little up there in years you know. Its been a long time since his unreal tourtnament days but all those years hunched over the keyboard with bad posture really did a number on his spine.
Are you going to have a projected display on the inside of the dome? that would look!
If speaker is not boxed, it side should be out of phase, so if reflections of visire is counted right, best place for speaker, is actually on line with microphone.
12:32 the pointy metal tool thing looks like it's floating for some reason
Any possibility you are adapting a mirrored lunar style sunshade or a tint-able sunshade on this space suite?
What a feast!
Your hair in this video has some Judge Doom energy and I'm here for it.
Adam, have you considered modulating your voice electronically through the P.A. speaker? I'm sure you are aware of the many ways this can be done, from bandwidth filters to Auto-Tune (aka Pitch Correction. Just to mask your distinctive voice during Dealers Room excursions, of course.
Wondering if the light should not have a hinged connection ... Maybe a painted 3D print would have been appropriate and walking around the shop light would snag on things too easily.
I think I have a way to solve the feedback issue. Use a momentary push button for push to talk. It can shut off the speaker and turn on the Mic. Attach it to the bottom side.
I've never worked with Kydex but I have worked a lot with ABS. What was the reasoning to choose Kydex over ABS (aka: what properties does Kydex have that ABS doesn't)? As always, fantastic content. What do you think about the SpaceX suit? Keep on making that maker brain food content :) I used to have a shop on Old County Road in Belmont and was a few blocks away from SpaceX and Tesla's original location (near the old Circle Star Theater on Industrial Road). I miss the Bay Area but not the real estate prices...lol. Thanks again for everything you do.
Cheers,
Jeff (Garage Maker Guy)
somehow Adam is beginning to look a bit like David Lynch. And I love it so much :)
