Brother, in the name of the Emperor you must finish that Mark 5.
Brother, I want that armor.
For the emperor!
Out of Jokes, that armor remembers me to medieval Black crusader armor
Your going places dude
you're*
Im hoping somewhere good🤣

Many comments on possible applications for the suit lean into sci-fi and video games territory. I've got another take:
I spent some time rehabilitating at Headly Court, a tri-service centre where specialists retrained injured or wounded servicemen after they sustained serious harm, which varied from torn soft tissue up to multiple amputees. Not all conditions were combat related.
Almost all of the amputees suffered their wounds in action. None of the amputees had head or torso injuries, not even those who'd been exposed to IEDs capable of destroying light armoured vehicles. Their armour saved their lives.
It's not practical to armour soldier's limbs without some kind of support or powered option.
An armoured exo-skeleton might not stop bullets or defend against mass drone strikes, but it would almost certainly save many or even most limbs currently lost to fragmentation from explosive ordinance, conventional or improvised.
The armour carried by the suit needn't be any stronger than a conventional stab vest to save hundreds, possibly thousands of soldiers from life altering wounds in potential future conflicts.
Matt, your device has the potential to change the entire future of ground conflict. Please keep doing what you do and hopefully you can get (much) more visibility for your efforts!
True, on top of this a less armored version could act purely in a weight supporting role to allow soldiers to both carry more or heavier equipment without strain, and save them lots of long-term joint and tendon injuries.
categorically this armour can in fact stop bullets, even rifle bullets.
i have been following your progress with this armour for a while i love the idea. and i hope that u can get lots of funding to help with the development of this. is sorta wild to think the us army with there big ass budget does-int have stuff like this.
Thank you!
Oh dude you have no idea how much the military wastes. I was navy engineer for five years, busting my ass in the guts of the ship. They would spend ten times the amount they needed to for something like a valve, like 3k for a valve that wasn’t better than one you could by for 300 in any conceivable way. It’s just that the companies they’re contracted to overcharge the shit out of the navy for simple things because they can. I obviously can’t speak for the army but I have a hard time believing it’d be any better for them. Probably overcharged per bullet or something.
@MattExo-Dynamics
Ideas
1) Tank Track boots:
Tracks are attached to the sides and only elevate your feet by a few millimeters
With thumbstick controls on the gloves that have to be released from a cap and pressed down to use
It allows you to walk normally while also using the tracks for speed
Can be used Offroad
2) arm attached deployable weapons:
Just like in sekiro they are attached with a rope joint and bolt
Magnetic Detachment mechanism on torso sides
Any weapon of your choice
(Mine would be maces with a folding sickle blade in honor of the two types of mantis shrimp the colorful punchy type and the dusty snatch and shred type)
3) taser boxing gloves: I'm going to kill you then imma Jumpstart your heart
AND KILL YOU AGAIN
Covers only the backhand and proximal phalanx of the fingers with padding
leaving the fingers free to move, like muai thai gloves
Protects the hand bones by holding them in place
Taser spikes over finger pads and on the backhand
Pressure sensor inside pads to detect a punch and only activating on impact
Can add it to rest of forearm
(Your choice)
4) 360⁰ VIEW SPIDER EYE HELM:
cameras everywhere
Night vision thermal on front
Fear factor
Add gas mask to it for bonus
5) 40k meme reference initiated: MY FACE IS MY SHIELD
but in this case
HAMMERTIME!
Add hammer like protrusion on forehead of helm
HEADBUTT
can be anything really
Axe, spike, drill, chainsaw, gun
They tried "apparently it wasn't able to work with the battery's we had at the time"
@@TY-ul5jcbattery technology back then wasn't even close to what it's like right now, hell we're very close to being able to produce solid state batteries. It would be awesome if that kind of funding could support exos like this that use modern battery technology.
You gotta reintroduce those huge pauldrons on the armor, it looks so awesome even though it probably sucks for mobility. I love how the helmet went from a Space Marine to an ODST inspired design.
You are a true battle brother now! Emperor protects!
For the emperor!
If I keep seeing cool things like this, I'm gonna have to become an engineering major and forget my hatred of math, because GODDAMN this is cool as hell.
There he is... John Space Marine.
I wished youtube would have recommended this to me sooner, this is most interesting. I am seeing alot of parallels with late medieval armour. You could (and probably have) use late 16th century full plate armour as inspiration, in particular if you wanted rigid protection for the gaps around the chest piece.
these progresses keep getting better
Rapidly turns into wolf brigade.
this is so awesome. similar to what i envision. i actually need something like this as well due to my osteonecrosis of the femurs (my hip bones are falling apart, had my left replaced a couple years ago and need my right replaced soon). if i had the legs i would be able to go for walks easier and lose more weight a little easier. i would recommend a lip by the collar bone to keep any rounds from deflecting upward into the head. and possibly make the left or right shoulder pauldron a little larger depending on what handed shooter they are. i would need a larger left pauldron because i am right handed.
This is actually the lore of fallout power armor
Battery power density is the big hurdle for any powered armour. The US military wanted a 24hr runtime target for protoypes which I dont think they ever hit. That being said police SWAT could find such armour useful even with much shorter run times than 24hrs. When the team actually goes in the encounters are usually over in minutes
Dude what happened to your eye / skull / wrist? Looks savage

If my memory serves correctly it was an explosion.
@@Bagginsess pretty sure it was an accident with a angle grinder or something
@@BubonicBarry well grinders can explode.
Maybe this is all an elaborate ruse to show off your gains. Very cool all you really need is a hookup with some metal machining tools so you can make higher quality more robust parts.
Well it wad to show progress, most of the skeleton is carbon fibre in the current mk4, basically all of the mk5 skeleton will be carbon with the armour having a better finish.
Mechanicus want you join the ranks, praise the machine spirit
For the omninisiah
He actually became a hell diver.
DUUUUUUUUDE! You've gotta show that to defense contractors!
Godspeed man! Great progress :)
Hey Matt,
I dont recall you mentioning this in any of your videos, but what's the weight of this suit like? I know your adding motors to assist with mobility but that also increases the weight of the suit when unpowered. How strenuous is this to use for extended periods?
He's strong and the pushups are a struggle, I think it's mentioned in this video that the suit is ~55kg unpowered, so not an insignificant mass, though through being more evenly distributed around the body likely feels perceptibly lighter than chucking it all on a barbell and trying to walk about ruclips.net/video/D-LgcKYlMnE/видео.html
How far one could walk in this thing unpowered with the motors dead and dragging you down in case of a total power loss would likely be quite a short distance, I think fatigue would set in surprisingly suddenly and take a long time to recover from in that case. In case of a total power failure I'd expect you'd be better off ditching it unless you have vehicular transport that can accommodate the bulk of the armour immediately available. It really depends what the application of this platform is, a powered suit to assist with logistics doesn't require as high an armour rating than someone on the front lines. But I don't really know anything about this.
@@EdsEnemy Clearly know more than you give yourself credit for lmao. On what you said though, I think thats pretty accurate. Like with the power armor in fallout, this isnt an end solution for soldiers body armor, but instead a (hopefully) very useful option in situations where you have the logistics to support stuff like this. I think it also might find significant utility for things like anti-cartel and SWAT operations.
Oh hey it's the exoskeleton guy
when Matt said: "its starshipping time" and troopered all over the place I truly cried
Hey. I have been working on something similar for a few years, my design incorporates essentially a sleeveless Kevlar long coat that goes on under the chest plating and the long coat goes back around the knees and slightly wraps around the front. I think we both got inspiration from Kevlar curtains being used to make kamas from star wars, and I dig it. Hopefully you consider my suggestion as the coat can cover more of the gaps as well as provide a bit of insulation/padding to te user. Even if you wear thick sloped armor, you will still feel the impact of a .50 bmg regardless of the armor plating's material composition.
You may also want to look into some sort of neck reinforcement. I mean we can already make rifle-proof helmets, its just they are absurdly heavy and will really strain your neck, and thats before you add nightvision or thermal.
Btw, if you ever have absurd money and want to integrate thermal vision to your suit, get an Andres Industry Tilo system, they are absurdly small.
Yeah ive got some designs for neck supports but im trying to see how light i can make the helmet first,
And noted, ill save the name, i genuinely lesrn about some new things in these comments
@@MattExo-Dynamics I mean, really depends what you want the helmet to do.
If its just for looks you can 3D print it then electroplate.
For just shock absorbance you can use carbon or glass fiber.
If you want it to take pistol bullets, you need Kevlar or UHMWPE fibres, or titanium or steel plates, commerical armour is available you can take thicknesses from.
And for rifles you need either ceramic elements, or serious hardned or tool steel, at least 5mm thick.
Now the suit just needs to be body tight
Glad to see that there is hope for exoskeleton power armor technology. One step closer to becoming a true Iron Man!
BOONS of the imperium!?
this suit with Warhammer seals and a loin cloth would ne the most badass thing humans have made
This really inspires me. Ive been thinking of making some sort of armor as a costume/cosplay for Halloween but always felt it was a bit too far out of reach. Although far from what was made here, I definitely feel Moe encouraged to try to make something (out of cardboard) and see what I can do. Ive been making swords out of cardboard but never did anything nearly close to this. Still might try for next Halloween. I think it could be really cool. Thatnks for showing (even if your version is much more complex) that something like this may not be as impossible as I thought.
Get this man some Polymerized lithium!
TONY STARK BUILT ONE IN A CAVE!!!
2:15 - bro is exhausted
For the moment i understand the weakness of my flesh... It disgust me...
By the will of the omnissiah
if you're going to squat or bench with this thing once you get it powered for the love of god set those safety pins. looks like you do anyway but i wouldnt fuck around in the suit in case theres some sudden failure. that being said this shit is inspiring already and i can't wait to see how far you push it.
Its cool to see you building something man but what does it actually help you do that you couldn't do without it on?
FREEEEDOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!
Bro that's literally how medieval armor used to be
I'm just wondering how you would power it?
A small but efficient ICE or some sort of battery pack?
Plan at the minute is Li-fePo4 batteries in the back pack, they dont set on fire when pierced like regular lithiums. Slightly lower power out but the back pack is bog enough so it wont matter much. I did look at making my own sells but couldnt find lithium phosphate at a cheap price
War has changed. At this point I think you'd better be spitballing ideas on how it more adequately protects against drones rather than rifle bullets.
yeah this suit will help against drones, wont do much for direct hits, but the fragmentation protection is off the charts.
I thought of a potential helmet design that you could try.
In order to eliminate the gap around the neck, do what they did with jousting helmets - secure the helmet to the chest plate. You oversize the helmet so you can still move your head around inside and project the surroundings onto the helmet’s inner surface so you can eliminate the visor which is a weak point and still be able to see. You can also wear a thick padded coif so you don’t hit your head on the helmet if you’re knocked over.
As you can probably see, I’m rather a fan of historical armour but I think a lot of the same principles can be used to develop modern armour.
I like that but restricting the movement of the helmet might be a tough sell even if you can move your ead around inside w/ full AR. Maybe like some combo of a gorget and bevor setup?
@@_Bear70 the problem with that option is that the sheer thickness of the armour plates would make overlap difficult to accomplish elegantly. Besides, a bevor would restrict head movement more than what I proposed, depending on the style of bevor.
just add a little rim by the collar bone to prevent rounds from deflecting upward into the head. probably an inch is plenty.
@@alphawolfgang173 deflection off the chest plate is an issue that can pretty well be solved like you said but it does nothing to prevent shooting through the gaping hole between the chest plate and the helmet. Gaps are a pretty big problem on this suit since the comically thick panels hinder overlap which is why I suggested completely eliminating the joint.
@@quakxy_dukx if it had a bit of a lip by the collar bone the helmet should be able to sit behind it just right to prevent that, idk how to describe it better. theres a heavy helldivers armor with something similar to what im talking about (FS-55 Devastator, but that ones a bit big and over exaggerated.
is it ok to jerk the bar off the floor when deadlifting like that? idk. cant see from the sides what your back positions like. I've heard you want to have sort of static tension at the bottom of the movement. stay safe bro
Commenting for engagement 👍
Someone give this man a good budget.
that must be the new warhammer 40k policeforces
Arbites incoming
It's like half way between astartes and ODST(or mjolnir) armor.
Out of curiosity, but how did you become so successful in this? What classes did you take for the mechanics and physics needed for this? (+ iron working?)
I really find stuff like this to be very interesting and i wish to get into it, but I don’t know where to turn to or start from.
For military use mk 2 would be the cheaper and most used. Maybe with a bit stronger spring and maybe the mk 5 power production idea. Mk 4,5 are more suited for houses due to being a large exoskeleton.
Was that movement power production or making it magnet based?
FOR THE EMPERAHHHHH
FOR THE EMERUUHHHH!
Here's a question/thought about the helmet. I know from playing paintball the visor is a bugger to try and sight through especially with a scope. Do you have any plans for any sort of HUD that's connected (maybe via bluetooth?) to a sight or camera mounted on your weapons?
no wireless in warfare please - not where it can be avoided.
I hope it could reach to its full potential
My biggest issue is transitioning between shooting positions with this, I'd love to see an actual course of fire done with this suit.
I intend on doing an airsoft variant of that - im in the UK. But with this next prototype,
dude this is so cool!
Very cool!
The emperor sees fit that you finish the mark V.
For the emperor!
Need anchor points at the belt for item stabilizer quick drop.
I mean. This is a thing that is purely protection outfitted but I ain't gonna say that such an exo with dielectric materials would be a bad idea for HV electrician so having an extra hand anchor point would be always handy.
Also, Mark V looks sExoOoOoOOOOOOO
God bless the Enclave!
dude i always imagine making a leg exosuit but Im just thinking of the very precise spot the leg joint needs to go otherwise it wont feel right.
Well, tips from what ive found, your skin has 10mm of play so accuracy of lower than 10mm isnt needed, plus your muscles expand with blood flow so accuracy is lost there. What ive found is the lower legs need to be tight, but the quads need to be a little loose or you can get muscle cramps
Interesting work.
Ideas like these could significantly ease the workload for people whom occupy a more support role than the frontline.
(Keep in mind that I am no expert nor an engineer, just curious and impressed)
Thoughts on lighter versions of the suit for use in carrying heavy equipment, construction and/or patient rehabilitation from injuries?
I'd call the Mark 5 The Tombstone Pattern. After the shape of the battery pack
You've done a lot of good work so far, but there's still a ways to go. The gaps between armour panels is too big. May I suggest adding a plate going up for the chest to just above the chin level to protect the neck, and big pauldrons to cover the shoulders. Finally, any damage to the actuators would be catastrophic, so adding another layer of armour on them would go a long way to avoid that.
I would suggest a neck guard, really useful for combat.
Ah, good. I'm not the only one attempting this.
Are you considering a harder outer layer on the kevlar? Some padding on the inside would be useful, to mitigate impact. A non-Newtonian fluid, for instance.
And perhaps a neckguard :'D, but fuck yeah, this is headed in the right direction!
Fascinating build. It looks like your going more for steel plate type build, which while a lot more badass, limits your movement options. I wonder what you could do with some Kevlar. Elimnate some plates in non vital areas to save on weight and manuverability. In either way you take it though; extremely well done.
What sort of sensor setup are you using to detect motion?
This is what inspired the emperor
this is so cool
How much more weight does it actually let you carry though?
can't wait for the MK 5!
better than I could do
MK5 giving me some real Iron Man MK1 vibes
I thought that too although im still finishing the design so its pulled away from it a little - will see in future video
@@MattExo-Dynamics I mean, it really kinda depends what you want it to do, and what materials you ultimatively want to use.
Design is usually limited by materials, and the ways of forming them available to you.
Really love that MK4 design, you should improve on it!
I'll fight you in my Yggdrasil powerarmor :D
Do you have a patreon or something? I’d love to help fund your projects.
Not yet, im going to make one soon and put the actuator designs on there along with some others. Thank you for wanting to support it! A help though would be sharing the video on socials etc if you’re able to, have a great day mate
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
Cool😊
warhammer 2k
Cool
What does it do??
BATTLE BROTHER!!!!
all it need is the wringing a computer and a energy sources. diesel electric maybe?
You should use uhmwpe for real protection from pistol rounds.
The path of your foolish ambitions to rest, until suitable power source provided
whats the metrial of it?, and how do u realize it?
i mean the exoskeleton

Halo lore be like:

For democracy
While I love the idea of powered armoured infantry - I wonder firstly what problem they really exist to solve on the battlefield? The fact is that you could potentially increase the armour rating of an infantryman almost all the way to that of a light infantry fighting vehicle, but you won't increase the infantryman's individual mobility to 60/70 kph even with the best power actuator capability, and even then you're no more survivable against mines, high calibre rifles or other weapons that could put down an human cased in a great deal of armour. Your infantryman is now LESS capable due to their decreased dexterity, flexibility, awareness and increased size. If you want to have the armour of a IFV then you are highly unlikely to be able to bear the firepower of an IFV too. So - what battlefield role is our heavily armoured infantryman supposed to fulfil that isn't already currently fulfilled? I see more uses for this concept in policing and mine clearance personally
All good points, i don’t see power armour replacing what we see as a regular infantryman its more adding to it, perhaps in the way that a DMR does, or a machine gun team. I see them being used for room clearing and taking point on particularly high risk scenarios, also with say russians using human waves of prisoners to go over the top of trenches to flush out enemies, something the west cant do power armour could e used in these types of settings aswell. You’re right with the ever higher increasing caliber weapons etc. but in said armour you’d be pretty immune to shrapnel, there by reducing the effectiveness of grenades, shells and small fpv drones. Also if you can protect against regular rounds like 5.56 completely it means the enemy has to have bigger weapons, if they have to carry something in .338 lp mag and above to penetrate, the logistics and carry capacity becomes a problem for them. Also you could make power armour capable of carrying/firing a .50bmg giving you the power of a technical on a humvee that can freely walk woodland and urbanalleyways.
Also ive had thoughts on how you can have back pack mounted guided rockets or drones with the guidance/targeting inter grated into the helmet/suit, because youve already got a stable mounting point and power supply from the suit, things like become more possible and easier.
@@MattExo-Dynamics Thats what I was thinking this would be used for too. Room clearing, SWAT operations, etc, would all benefit greatly from this type of armor. I dont know if you play fallout or know anything about it, but in that universe the military utilizes their power armor not as a replacement for infantry, but like what your other suggestion was, just basically a walking arsenal. You just have one with each unit that is able to carry heavy machine guns, backpack mounted tactical drones, additional ammo/supplies, rockets, explosives, etc. thus greatly expanding the capability of one infantry unit with only slight alterations to the way that the infantry unit operates. As a fellow defense researcher I hope this venture goes well for you.
The trench warfare in Ukraine has also shown that having infantry which is effectively immune to explosive drone attack would be a real advantage.
@@MattExo-Dynamics The armor can completely stop 5.56? From any range?
Better than the african ones... 😂🤣😂🤣
