The notch idea was actually very smart. I mean, there is the issue of the welds breaking but you took a good educated risk. Also I love the “👍👍” that he did after getting in the welding gear
You planning on doing anything for the legs? I can't quite remember if they had that in the movie, but just wondering. Also just a thought if your actually going to strap it with Velcro or something along those lines to your arm, pick up a football arm pad or something of the sort just because I feel you would either need very large Velcro so the surface area isn't limited and it could hurt (I would assume) trying to lift something heavy because even though you've got the strength from the machine your arms are gonna have to stay still with a lot of pressure. Keep up the great work man!
if you fill the box tube up with water then let it freeze in a freezer take the pipe to a pipe bender the ice inside will make sure it retains the box shape while bending. then just take a torch to get the ice to melt.
It's loosely based off of the exoskeleton from Elysium (hence the name!) -- It's a pretty good movie, you should check it out! The only difference is his exoskeleton gets bolted directly to his skeleton!
See while you focuses on arms and lifting and holding it I had a similar idea except using the cylinders to boost you up basic the idea is to be able to jump six or seven feet into the air with pneumatic cylinders and absorbing the shock with shock absorber when I land eventually its in bare bones stage right now but the idea is sound
the Hacksmith that is exactly was talking about except we designed it so your not 1.5m of the ground but also we moved the pistons to the outside of both legs and put the shock absorber on the insides which still allows for joint movement we plan to test this near a foam pit so we have a place to land till we get the landing part figured out
I'm a mechanical engineer -- but to be honest, the majority of this build has used skills I just learned by trying things. I'm planning on designing the exoloader suit from Alien (the one Ripley uses to kill the mother Alien) which will be a lot more complex... that one will use more of my engineering background!
Box tube would be very difficult to bend smoothly even with a cutting torch I think... My method was pretty easy and repeatable so I think it worked well...
In my personal experience it's actually pretty easy, but hey your method worked for you and you're comfortable with it so that's good! Can't wait to see this unfold more
Yes sir I have bent box tubing, except it was typically 1/4" in my case The torch method should still work for you though Just be be sure to apply heat where needed, not pushing down on the trigger and just letting the orange flame do the work And once the metal is turning red, try bending away
well the way i see the the design for the back is that well i dont want to offend or critisis your work (forgive my spelling) but the back has a flexibal design for more mobilaty if you look at the back of the origenal exosuit
tony smith Yeah that's a really good point, I kinda got carried away with the other idea. Nothings final though, I might revisit it. The problem with having it as a single spine is supporting it properly -- in the movie, its bolted to his spine... I don't really have that luxury. So it'll be hard making it balanced to be able to support a 250+lb load, know what I mean?
oh ok yeah i know but well this might sound expensive but how about useing a vest or somethign like bloting the joints to a vest and gauntlets reaplase the bolting to the bone. exsample you know the suit of armore in the medevil time how about you use a metal plat lock the covers the thighs calvs fore arms and chest for support and use elbow and knee pad to bolt the joints
the Hacksmith Running a few short beads once in a while wouldn't be quite enough to do anything, but still worth it to avoid the chance of slag popping off and burning clothes or skin. That's beyond unpleasant when it burns through your jeans into your boot.

I liked the idea of cutting notches in the square metal tubes to bend it. It's looking good !
Thanks! I think it worked out well!
NICE thought at 5:45-6:30. I love prototyping kinetically, just using practical squares to get the job done! Damn good job sir.
Yes a long video, the short ones just leave everything too open ended. But that may just be this humble youtubers opinion.
Thanks Sean! Two more videos coming soon!

its looking good
Im so exited for this :)
Yay more updates ! :D

Nice man!;)
1.3k comment! Please, it would be awesome for you to try an electric exoskeleton!
So good!
Wow keep up the good work! Bit from what is this? Is it from a movie?

Haha only most read it as though yours would be screwed into the skeleton.
its me again now i am pleased good job man subscribed
How will be if 250 psi compressor + 200 psi cylinders
for a next time, cut your tubes at 1/2 the angle you want, turn them and weld them at the proper angle.
See while you focuses on arms and lifting and holding it I had a similar idea except using the cylinders to boost you up basic the idea is to be able to jump six or seven feet into the air with pneumatic cylinders and absorbing the shock with shock absorber when I land eventually its in bare bones stage right now but the idea is sound
Watch my other video on jumping boots ;-)

Goddamn those arm veins tho
I made An exoskeleton leg brace that helps my kicking strength
what is your job dude, how did you acquire these skills?
He's an engineer just look at his old videos, they're sometimes about his schooling in uni or college(dunno which).

wow that's really cool dude looking forward to more videos
@@hacksmith a power loader! Cool doubt you'll ever even get an arm done with your funding /s
Why not get a cutting torch and use its heat to make it easier to bend metal?! :D

Timothy_Terror Yeah? Have you bent box tubing? I'm curious now. The stuff I'm using is 3/4" square, with 0.100" wall thickness
I used a pneumatic press and it was still not doing to well however in mother Russia box tube bends you
Yes sir I have bent box tubing, except it was typically 1/4" in my case
The torch method should still work for you though
Just be be sure to apply heat where needed, not pushing down on the trigger and just letting the orange flame do the work
And once the metal is turning red, try bending away
What is the psi of compressor you used
+stephin jose 125PSI
They cylinders are rated for up to 250 though!
What if to use a 250 psi compressor how will the performance
you would get double the power
you need mobility any sugestions for lighter equipment
like the things you used to power the air stuff idk
C shape? Okay. I call it prentice shape as in ()
hy that chima with brickbulider
i have all the same tools as you
Bro can u email me the correct components used
+stephin jose There are better components you can use... don't just copy what I made -- it was a prototype lol
how come you dident copy the spine design and just used a backpack frame wouldent the other back spine design be more flexible then the frame
What back spine design?
well the way i see the the design for the back is that well i dont want to offend or critisis your work (forgive my spelling) but the back has a flexibal design for more mobilaty if you look at the back of the origenal exosuit
tony smith Yeah that's a really good point, I kinda got carried away with the other idea. Nothings final though, I might revisit it.

oh if a lot of people sponser your channel and give money how about replasing the steel parts for titanium but it will be more then mabey thousands
Well im blind now
Why did u put the jumpsuit on to weld it's not needed, just a waste of time
Have you ever welded before? Welding produces intense light, which includes both UV and IR light as well -- Any exposed skin would get sunburns.

from what i hear aren't welding burns worse then sun burns
