This is absolutely outstanding. The fusion of active and passive systems into a seemingly finished product is a monumental achievement. Very few companies, have put out products with this level of market ready completion. Installation 00. I think you should be extremely proud of yourself for what you have achieved here so far. It’s astonishing to me that motivated and dedicated RUclipsrs like you that are building the equivalent of the pinnacle of sci-fi inspired super soldier technologies. Companies like Raytheon and Boeing was seemingly limitless billions in government dollars put out these hilariously cartoonishly bad model demonstrators. You quite literally could wear what you have done as a badge of honor.
" building the equivalent of the pinnacle of sci-fi inspired super soldier technologies" lets be honest right here, it's just cosplay with some next step, it's nowhere near the "equivalent" of the actual thing.
@@claire6650 Ah, yes, because Cosplay typically has kevlar/aramid layers and ballistic plates, which in this very video he says they plan on implementing into the armor pieces (hence why he speculated a collab with guntubers like Demolition Ranch to provide live-fire testing when they get to that point in development). Even the undersuit shown in this video has stab-proof kevlar layers. Boy, shut yo mouth lolol
@@claire6650 That is completely opposite from the definition and use of cosplay. One does not design cosplay with the purpose of ballistic defense and computer networking in-mind. Cosplay is just costumes; _nothing more._ The moment it begins providing true functionality capable of practical application is the moment it is no longer "cosplay". As someone who served in the US Navy, and as a fellow sailor already mentioned in the comments, the undersuit/Spartan BDU shown here alone would already provide real benefits for nukes and other rates that typically work in the lower decks and engine compartments. The cooling and blunt force/stabbing protection would be a godsend in those environments. As for the armor components themselves, the HUD systems alone are far beyond what is necessary for "cosplay". Working HUDs have had military applications since the 80s and 90s particularly with pilots originally, such as with the MiG-29 back then and the F-35 today. And again, the significance of a working exo-suit type system with functional ballistic protection must not be understated. These concepts have already, for good reasons, been tested years ago by DARPA and military contractors; the only issue has always been the power supply. But "battery" technology has advanced significantly over the last decade alone. If Installation00 succeeds in this project, it will at the very least provide a proof-of-concept that I guarentee will have governments and military contractors around the world give a good hard look at.
I'm in the USN, and this suit ALONE without the armor, would be amazing for my engineers and I. The protection from jagged metal and edges is peak alone. Not to mention the cooling, it gets HOT in those compartments. 105° F hot. When I was a kid, I dreamed there would be a spartan suit, and I can easily see that you did the same. Keep doing what you're doing. We're all cheering you on.

Hi. Cool project. Glad to find someone who went further than making children's toys. Maybe you'll find it useful, years ago I designed clothes for truck drivers. I came up with a multi-layer fabric that is organised like a double-glazed window pane. The layers are separated from each other by small sleeves in which a valve is built in. So these sleeves separate the layers and change the air, drawing excess heat and moisture away from the body. The first layer is made of mesh to keep heat between the suit and the body. There are temperature and humidity sensors throughout the suit. In areas where it is hotter, valves are opened. The transition from layer to layer is gradual so that there is no sudden change. The main issue is condensation. It was a long time ago and the computing power of the device was weak. Also one more element may be useful. This is a belt that controls the pressure on the body. The volume of the body changes in different positions. Sensors control the tension and keep the same pressure on the body without squeezing it. A rubber belt changes its length but increases the pressure. Then I found on the internet an artificial skin that changes its elasticity when an electrical signal is applied. Good luck!
I like popping into this channel every now and then to see how the MJOLNIR project is coming along. Hope you don't lose steam on the research and development for this monumental project.

As others have stated, This could be more useful than just the Mjolnir suit. an environment control part of it could be useful for a range of other fields.
The technology you are pouring into this is absolutely amazing. Bravo to you and your team, and I can't wait to see what is to come. A thought I had about the armor moving forward. For whoever is going to where the entire suit once it is assembled, it may not be a bad idea to measure and then input into the system what their end range of motion is for each joint. This way, in theory, should the armor have a similar power to be able to read and help initiate the movements you want to make, it can't over exaggerate the movement and end up hurting the wearer. Essentially, if you only have 110 degrees of knee flexion, it won't bring you past that and end up tearing a muscle or something worse. I know we are bound to the technology of our time, and the suit may not be able to read our neurological inputs like Chiefs does, but with all the things you are talking about, it sounds like you are on track for the suit to have the ability to help make each movement that much easier for the wearer. Just some thoughts from a humble follower of the work. I can't wait to see what you all develop next!
having the software customized to each wearer is actually very inline if remember correctly from the fall of reach book where they went into detail on the og mjnolier armor.
@@Installation00 Key concerns would be: 1. Toxicity 2. Flammability 3. Reactivity (with the other materials) and, 4. Conductivity Could use something like deionised water (covers points 1, 2 and 3, but is still somewhat conductive), or if you don't mind a reduction in heat transfer for a higher cost you could use some silicone derivative or even a glycol-water mix? Also, love your content, this project is absolutely amazing! Can't wait for more updates
Try betasol. Keep it away from your mouth but you mix it with water and you have an industrial grade coolant. Rig up some spray nozzles and you can put out small fires in a pinch too.
@@Installation00 The good news is as long as you don't pick something that corrodes your existing pipes, testing other solutions is as simple as a coolant flush. Others have already chimed in with industry-grade fluids but I'm having a laugh wondering if something from a PC liquid cooler would be up to the task. P.S., glad you're more of a Halo fan than a Warhammer 40K fan, otherwise your level of dedication might result in a lot more invasive surgery.
For the body heat regulator I assume you've taken a look at what astronauts use in their suits? as it's also has ventilation ducts, which draw moist air from the wearer's extremities to keep them dry.
Something you can look into for the body tracking system, if you haven't already, is the SlimeVR project. It's an open source inside-out position tracking system designed for VR games, but you could likely rework it to fit within your ecosystem.
First public appearance; “Yes titanium and aircraft alloy… what’s that? Yes sure you can touch it… what? Oh ha-ha no it, NO IT’S NOT RATED FOR A TUMBLE DOWN THE STAIRRRRRRRS!” But seriously just fantastic work. It looks so fantastic and it always makes me happy that someone is doing this and especially that you are doing it SO well. 👍👍
I was literally in the process of typing that you should contact Matt from Demolition Ranch when you said you were. That makes me happy. Looks incredible, keep up the amazing work!
This is freaking cool, really impressed with all the subsystems and how they are going to interact with each other in a dynamic way, such as the heating and cooling systems. Truly impressive work.
The main thing for this project to succeed is for you to enjoy it, life will always get in the way, it's fine, take your time. The undersuit looks the part and has all those clever features, well done! Keep going!
Here’s an idea. If you have a halo unsc weapon. Place a pad on a rifle where the fingers wrap around the grip and pads on the fingertips that touch the pad when holding the rifle. When holding a rifle the pads will connect to each other and allow the hud to read data coming from the rifle to allow ammo count
from what I hear it's tricky to make a reliable ammo counting system, but seeing what 00 has already achieved here I bet he could at minimum bodge something together as a stretch goal.
@@xXx_Regulus_xXxIn airsoft we have sensors in tracer units (I have an xcortech tracer unit). Tracer units are typically designed to look like suppressors and fit over the barrel via threads. It flashes glow bb's, counts them as you fire, can chrono them to tell you their muzzle velocity, and can tell you your rate of fire. It feeds thus data to a mock peq box, and can count up just to tell you how much you fire, or you can program your magazine capacity and it can count down for you. It's only really inaccurate in double feeds, which are mostly just an airsoft issue
@@hf117jik the Glock ammo counter that exists has a mini gyro which feels for the actual recoil to see how much ammo remains. Still requires some physical data entry but its close!
The main reason it’s hard is because you never know how much ammo you’re starting with. Counting shots is easy. Can’t use weight on the magazine either because that changes with different loads. The only thing I can think of is a depth sensor in the magazine follower.
Could potentially use the mics built into the helmet to have an auditory response that could count each round fired but that would get tricky in an actually live fire situation with more than one person unless it has a directional sensor built into the system allowing for it to only hear what’s directly in front of it
failing that, something that would be a lot more achievable with current technology would be a point defense system. Instead of shield generators, the suit could be outfitted with cameras and lasers that could identify incoming fire and try to shoot it down. The power source would still need to be insane even for something like that, though
You could try using slash resistant fabric for both the top piece and bottom piece. Oh and magnetically attach to a stiffly padded belt for comfort.... Just a thought.
All the features in this BDU can be added to the ODST BDU or into the armor even since it’s not as heavy and high tech. When making the armor, look to mitigate fragmentation/shrapnel of projectiles as best you can perhaps with slightly outward rolled edges for redirection. Great work, love seeing my childhood come to life.
I'm an engineering student at a public university in the US, and I recently discovered your project. I've been excited about the prospect of making MJOLNIR for a long time, especially when I saw Adam Savage create thin titanium armor that was able to resist small-arms fire. I'm amazed at the progress you've made! I'd love to know more about it! I had actually been looking into working towards real MJOLNIR myself at some point, after I graduate with my degree. I had even put together a bit of an outline, with the hope MJOLNIR could someday be made! The new BDU you made looks amazing. I had played with the idea of using shaped pieces of D30 for shock absorption, along with boron nitride nanotube radiation shielding, then combining those with a liquid cooling and ventilation garment to create a mechanical counterpressure undersuit. That way you could have an undersuit capable of EVA in a vacuum. I really like the mounting points you all created and built into the suit. It would be awesome if there was a way to combine all of these things together into a closer-to-final version of the BDU! I was also curious as to how the titanium pieces were fashioned. Did you all use a 3d printer capable of printing with titanium? What is the thickness, if you don't mind me asking? I had thought of maybe 3d printing the armor plates, then laminating or mounting those onto the shaped D30 pieces, which could then be mounted to the undersuit. I also thought that giving the titanium plates a thin coating of tungsten carbide would increase abrasion resistance and heat resistance, but I wasn't sure if it'd be effective. Do you intend on changing the overall shape of the armor from the games? I was thinking that it would need to be redesigned to reflect shrapnel away from more vulnerable points between armor plates, so that if a bullet hit the chest plate, for example, the shrapnel would be reflected away instead of potentially into the neck. I'm amazed at what you were able to do with the helmet, especially for being the first iteration. Have you come up with a way to make a visor that is bullet resistant? I had thought of starting with creating a GUNGNIR style helmet, since it would have titanium armor covering the face, with some kind of camera setup and a HUD, but I figured that current hardware limitations would make that impossible due to latency and bulk. I've heard of research on transparent metals, but I don't think there's been enough research or progress made towards actually producing one with a high tensile strength. I'd love to know about what you all are working on to power the armor as well! I hadn't actually come up with anything , but I'm kept pretty busy by school, my fellowship, and my research lab. My MJOLNIR ideas were mostly brainstormed while messing around whenever I would occasionally hyper-focus on Halo. It's honestly insanely impressive what you and your collaborators have managed to create, especially without having a ton of initial capital, in just a few years! It would be awesome to hear from you and learn some more things about this project!!
For the odst helmet, maybe see if you could get ahold of someone at holosun for the night vision outline overlay. They've recently put out their own outline mode thermal optic and the sensor would be perfect for an odst helmet. Infaray is another company that does thermal outline stuff.
If you're using metal on that helmet, it should have a thin kevlar liner as a spall liner or people are gonna die from fragmentation wounds if they every test it ;) - same applies to the chest plate. Wrap the titanium in ballistic kevlar. It'll prevent spalling and should help a touch with preventing penetration.
It's amazing, @Installation00 build Mjolnir Armor with limited resources. Imagine what @Installation00 can do with the resources of the government, Forerunner technology....
seriously the guy is doing this on a shoe string budget, if this is what one simple engineer can come up with wth is being done at DARPA these days....
That is awesome! I can't wait to see what comes next on the Project. I've got into Halo cosplay last year (HCUK) so the idea for the internals of the helmet to eventually be avaliable to cosplayers would be fantastic.
Lol. for like 20 seconds I thought the dinging noise from the background music was a dishwasher. I was like damn man you shouldn't overfill your dishwasher. thats how you break your wine glasses.
Im sorry to hear about real life interfering with project Mjolnir! Little by little, step by step as they say! CANT WAIT TO SEE WHATS TO COME🙌🏻! You are a legend!!🙌🏻💪🏻!
Not sure if titanium will work as well for upper weapons such as assault rifles if it's just titanium. I've had an idea for awhile now but can't proof it when ive seen a bunch of those bulletproof vests videos on this platform. My idea: An titanium alloy metal that is the part that will show then behind that is a non newtuionium fluid hooked up to a electricity system( an idea I had because these fluids react to kinetic electricity and harden so why not apply electricity to the fluid and harden it prematurely). Then behind this would be kevlar with a steel frame for your exo-suit your building.
When you get to the outer shell remember to reverse any kind of magnetic field with the heat enduring paint and copper the inside so your not a walking magnet if that makes any sense 😕
I'm absolutely blown away by this. The details, the functionalities, THE LOOKS OF IT. And btw, as a cosplayer and planning on building a Mjolnir Mk6 Gen. 3 myself in the near future, I'll keep a close eye on those helmet kits you mentioned! Hell, I'd also try to add cooling to my build, based on your system! But I'm afraid I'll fail miserably xD
I've never been so impressed...and then I kept on getting even more impressed! But then you mentioned that you were going to make all this tech available publically, and I just got blown away. This is absolutely mindblowing. I've got nothing but awe and respect to you and your team.
If demolition ranch doesn't want to work with you for testing, let me know. I'm a smaller channel but this type of bringing gaming stuff to life is right up my alley
I hate to say it, but 3 layers of Kevlar wouldn't really be enough to stop any blade. It might give some slight slash protection, but near zero stabbing protection, and obviously no protection against firearms. Of course, then again I doubt you could fit 20 to 50 layers within the BDU while maintaining it's flexibility.
Creating a halo assault rifle more cost effectively could use the Helion bull pup and a picatinny mount for the AR top cover which the empty space could then house the targeting system similar to the US military’s new holo therm sight but the sight part wouldn’t be needed as it would link to the HUD system.
I would reach out to all the guntubers, Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb, Kentucky Ballistics, TAOFLEDERMAUS, Edwin Sarkissianm, etc. Reach out to as many as you can, I'm sure one will say come on down!
I wouldn’t be surprised if I see your work integrated in real military application. I’m currently serving and I only hear stories of the upgraded and more advanced equipment rangers and tier 1, special forces insert a cray unit. It’s crazy to something I thought as a kid so far away being so close lol keep doing your thing installation00!
This shows up on my feed this morning, I been a Halo fan since I watched it released on XBox. So you now have a lifetime subscriber, I forever wish you luck in many projects to come.
Honestly, these ideas can be used for motorcycle equipment, especially the hard armored points. So all this work you're doing can have a universal application
I needed to find this channel. Since about 2020, I have been trying to put together the vigilante suits for a vigilante team I have been writing. I wanted them to have, potentially, the most "this could really exist", form-fitting, durable exoskeletons. I've been looking for realistic mechanics that allow internal cooling/heating systems that are comfortable to wear inside the suit. Amongst other people making practical gear, thank you for inadvertently helping me not give up on my characters.
Wow, this is incredible. For the exoskeleton, have you already looked at how real medieval armour is mounted? Maybe contact Matt Easton from Scholagladiatoria, who again knows Dr. Tobias Capwell, who is the armour expert IMO. He does actually fight in his armour. The core of the mounting system is an arming jacket (yours might be high-techy of course) of which the arms are hung off. The legs can be strapped there, too. But a separate C-belt or lendenier might be more comfortable for this. So to speak, if arms and legs are separated, they move more freely. I am sorry if you are already beyond this step, I just thought about that.
what we saw in this video was the equivalent to an arming jacket, the darker pads on it and the spine covering will be used to mount the armor, but you're definitely right that there would be lessons to learn from real historical armor that might not be present in the current revision

Essentially, if you only have 110 degrees of knee flexion, it won't bring you past that and end up tearing a muscle or something worse. I know we are bound to the technology of our time, and the suit may not be able to read our neurological inputs like Chiefs does, but with all the things you are talking about, it sounds like you are on track for the suit to have the ability to help make each movement that much easier for the wearer. Just some thoughts from a humble follower of the work. I can't wait to see what you all develop next!
having the software customized to each wearer is actually very inline if remember correctly from the fall of reach book where they went into detail on the og mjnolier armor.
Bro is going to be getting a government contract real soon
Actually though 😂
Facts🤣🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
No he won't 😂😂😂😂😂 that's so stupid
Isn't alcohol an ignition hazard? One cracked pipe and an errant flame and it'll be one hell of a heating element.
Exceptional point. Maybe just a good quality coolant...
Maybe an alcoholic derivative?
@@Installation00 Key concerns would be:
1. Toxicity
2. Flammability
3. Reactivity (with the other materials) and,
4. Conductivity
Could use something like deionised water (covers points 1, 2 and 3, but is still somewhat conductive), or if you don't mind a reduction in heat transfer for a higher cost you could use some silicone derivative or even a glycol-water mix?
Also, love your content, this project is absolutely amazing! Can't wait for more updates
Try betasol. Keep it away from your mouth but you mix it with water and you have an industrial grade coolant. Rig up some spray nozzles and you can put out small fires in a pinch too.
@@Installation00 The good news is as long as you don't pick something that corrodes your existing pipes, testing other solutions is as simple as a coolant flush. Others have already chimed in with industry-grade fluids but I'm having a laugh wondering if something from a PC liquid cooler would be up to the task.
P.S., glad you're more of a Halo fan than a Warhammer 40K fan, otherwise your level of dedication might result in a lot more invasive surgery.
man here going to build Damascus Materials Group
For the body heat regulator I assume you've taken a look at what astronauts use in their suits? as it's also has ventilation ducts, which draw moist air from the wearer's extremities to keep them dry.
Something you can look into for the body tracking system, if you haven't already, is the SlimeVR project. It's an open source inside-out position tracking system designed for VR games, but you could likely rework it to fit within your ecosystem.
God i want one, ONI is very pleased with 00s continued efforts and success.
We will continue to monitor your future endeavors.
First public appearance;
“Yes titanium and aircraft alloy… what’s that? Yes sure you can touch it… what? Oh ha-ha no it, NO IT’S NOT RATED FOR A TUMBLE DOWN THE STAIRRRRRRRS!”
But seriously just fantastic work. It looks so fantastic and it always makes me happy that someone is doing this and especially that you are doing it SO well.
👍👍
I was literally in the process of typing that you should contact Matt from Demolition Ranch when you said you were. That makes me happy. Looks incredible, keep up the amazing work!
Indeed as a us army soldier I wouldn't mind testing it
We have to set this up🙌🏻
Thank you for your service!
This is freaking cool, really impressed with all the subsystems and how they are going to interact with each other in a dynamic way, such as the heating and cooling systems. Truly impressive work.
The main thing for this project to succeed is for you to enjoy it, life will always get in the way, it's fine, take your time.
The undersuit looks the part and has all those clever features, well done! Keep going!
Here’s an idea. If you have a halo unsc weapon. Place a pad on a rifle where the fingers wrap around the grip and pads on the fingertips that touch the pad when holding the rifle.
When holding a rifle the pads will connect to each other and allow the hud to read data coming from the rifle to allow ammo count
from what I hear it's tricky to make a reliable ammo counting system, but seeing what 00 has already achieved here I bet he could at minimum bodge something together as a stretch goal.
@@xXx_Regulus_xXxIn airsoft we have sensors in tracer units (I have an xcortech tracer unit). Tracer units are typically designed to look like suppressors and fit over the barrel via threads. It flashes glow bb's, counts them as you fire, can chrono them to tell you their muzzle velocity, and can tell you your rate of fire. It feeds thus data to a mock peq box, and can count up just to tell you how much you fire, or you can program your magazine capacity and it can count down for you. It's only really inaccurate in double feeds, which are mostly just an airsoft issue
@@hf117jik the Glock ammo counter that exists has a mini gyro which feels for the actual recoil to see how much ammo remains. Still requires some physical data entry but its close!
The main reason it’s hard is because you never know how much ammo you’re starting with. Counting shots is easy. Can’t use weight on the magazine either because that changes with different loads. The only thing I can think of is a depth sensor in the magazine follower.
Could potentially use the mics built into the helmet to have an auditory response that could count each round fired but that would get tricky in an actually live fire situation with more than one person unless it has a directional sensor built into the system allowing for it to only hear what’s directly in front of it
After he's done making the armor, he needs to invent fusion and then energy shielding. 😄
failing that, something that would be a lot more achievable with current technology would be a point defense system. Instead of shield generators, the suit could be outfitted with cameras and lasers that could identify incoming fire and try to shoot it down. The power source would still need to be insane even for something like that, though
@xXx_Regulus_xXx Nah, just slap a few high-powered laser pointers on it.
That is indeed impressive work with the undersuit.
It will be fascinating to see how it interfaces with the exoskeleton.
You could try using slash resistant fabric for both the top piece and bottom piece. Oh and magnetically attach to a stiffly padded belt for comfort.... Just a thought.
00 is upholding the proud Brit tradition of slapping together the world's best military kit in the equivalent of a shed.
All the features in this BDU can be added to the ODST BDU or into the armor even since it’s not as heavy and high tech. When making the armor, look to mitigate fragmentation/shrapnel of projectiles as best you can perhaps with slightly outward rolled edges for redirection. Great work, love seeing my childhood come to life.
I'm an engineering student at a public university in the US, and I recently discovered your project. I've been excited about the prospect of making MJOLNIR for a long time, especially when I saw Adam Savage create thin titanium armor that was able to resist small-arms fire. I'm amazed at the progress you've made! I'd love to know more about it!
I had actually been looking into working towards real MJOLNIR myself at some point, after I graduate with my degree. I had even put together a bit of an outline, with the hope MJOLNIR could someday be made! The new BDU you made looks amazing. I had played with the idea of using shaped pieces of D30 for shock absorption, along with boron nitride nanotube radiation shielding, then combining those with a liquid cooling and ventilation garment to create a mechanical counterpressure undersuit. That way you could have an undersuit capable of EVA in a vacuum. I really like the mounting points you all created and built into the suit. It would be awesome if there was a way to combine all of these things together into a closer-to-final version of the BDU!
I was also curious as to how the titanium pieces were fashioned. Did you all use a 3d printer capable of printing with titanium? What is the thickness, if you don't mind me asking? I had thought of maybe 3d printing the armor plates, then laminating or mounting those onto the shaped D30 pieces, which could then be mounted to the undersuit. I also thought that giving the titanium plates a thin coating of tungsten carbide would increase abrasion resistance and heat resistance, but I wasn't sure if it'd be effective. Do you intend on changing the overall shape of the armor from the games? I was thinking that it would need to be redesigned to reflect shrapnel away from more vulnerable points between armor plates, so that if a bullet hit the chest plate, for example, the shrapnel would be reflected away instead of potentially into the neck.
I'm amazed at what you were able to do with the helmet, especially for being the first iteration. Have you come up with a way to make a visor that is bullet resistant? I had thought of starting with creating a GUNGNIR style helmet, since it would have titanium armor covering the face, with some kind of camera setup and a HUD, but I figured that current hardware limitations would make that impossible due to latency and bulk. I've heard of research on transparent metals, but I don't think there's been enough research or progress made towards actually producing one with a high tensile strength.
I'd love to know about what you all are working on to power the armor as well! I hadn't actually come up with anything , but I'm kept pretty busy by school, my fellowship, and my research lab. My MJOLNIR ideas were mostly brainstormed while messing around whenever I would occasionally hyper-focus on Halo. It's honestly insanely impressive what you and your collaborators have managed to create, especially without having a ton of initial capital, in just a few years!
It would be awesome to hear from you and learn some more things about this project!!
I'm sorry you wrote all that. He's never gonna see your comment
For the odst helmet, maybe see if you could get ahold of someone at holosun for the night vision outline overlay. They've recently put out their own outline mode thermal optic and the sensor would be perfect for an odst helmet. Infaray is another company that does thermal outline stuff.
If you're using metal on that helmet, it should have a thin kevlar liner as a spall liner or people are gonna die from fragmentation wounds if they every test it ;) - same applies to the chest plate. Wrap the titanium in ballistic kevlar. It'll prevent spalling and should help a touch with preventing penetration.
It's amazing, @Installation00 build Mjolnir Armor with limited resources. Imagine what @Installation00 can do with the resources of the government, Forerunner technology....
seriously the guy is doing this on a shoe string budget, if this is what one simple engineer can come up with wth is being done at DARPA these days....
incomprehensibly better quality that plastic and foam "armor".
That is awesome! I can't wait to see what comes next on the Project.
I've got into Halo cosplay last year (HCUK) so the idea for the internals of the helmet to eventually be avaliable to cosplayers would be fantastic.
Lol. for like 20 seconds I thought the dinging noise from the background music was a dishwasher. I was like damn man you shouldn't overfill your dishwasher. thats how you break your wine glasses.
Thank you for the update ❤️
Im sorry to hear about real life interfering with project Mjolnir! Little by little, step by step as they say! CANT WAIT TO SEE WHATS TO COME🙌🏻! You are a legend!!🙌🏻💪🏻!
Installation00 will be a flown blown defense contractor in a few years
Not sure if titanium will work as well for upper weapons such as assault rifles if it's just titanium. I've had an idea for awhile now but can't proof it when ive seen a bunch of those bulletproof vests videos on this platform. My idea: An titanium alloy metal that is the part that will show then behind that is a non newtuionium fluid hooked up to a electricity system( an idea I had because these fluids react to kinetic electricity and harden so why not apply electricity to the fluid and harden it prematurely). Then behind this would be kevlar with a steel frame for your exo-suit your building.
When you get to the outer shell remember to reverse any kind of magnetic field with the heat enduring paint and copper the inside so your not a walking magnet if that makes any sense 😕
Installation00, you're going to make ONI at this point. And I love it! Thank you for making this.
ONI already exists dude
@@mythicknz8203 True.
Adam Savage did a ballistic test very similar to what you want to do with a 3d printed titanium Ironman chest plate. He only went up to a .45 though.
I'm absolutely blown away by this. The details, the functionalities, THE LOOKS OF IT.
And btw, as a cosplayer and planning on building a Mjolnir Mk6 Gen. 3 myself in the near future, I'll keep a close eye on those helmet kits you mentioned!
Hell, I'd also try to add cooling to my build, based on your system! But I'm afraid I'll fail miserably xD
Yer and absolute mad lad. Amazing work!
Anyone else just getting constant goosebumps from the first 10 min?
I've never been so impressed...and then I kept on getting even more impressed!
But then you mentioned that you were going to make all this tech available publically, and I just got blown away.
This is absolutely mindblowing. I've got nothing but awe and respect to you and your team.
You absolute mad lad.
Well there's been several depictions of the combat skin I think Halo 4 had the right idea in the ending scene
If demolition ranch doesn't want to work with you for testing, let me know. I'm a smaller channel but this type of bringing gaming stuff to life is right up my alley
Can’t wait to see the undersuit that goes over this BDU👍🏻
Omg this is so awesome so glad I stumble across this project got some videos to catch up and can't wait for updates with this
you NEED to invite Brandon Herrera and Eli if Demo agrees. Turbo nerds and I know they fuckin LOVE Halo.
That's an insane project and i'm eager to see more!
Excited the hear an update on the project after so long
Have you thought about attempting to massively increase the cooling ability, to counteract plasma weaponry?
It's always so incredible to see how close you are able to get every time you showcase something new
Absolutely brilliant
I hate to say it, but 3 layers of Kevlar wouldn't really be enough to stop any blade. It might give some slight slash protection, but near zero stabbing protection, and obviously no protection against firearms.
Of course, then again I doubt you could fit 20 to 50 layers within the BDU while maintaining it's flexibility.
USSF should contract you to help develop their first military units
Thanks!
I am hyped seriously this project is incredible
This is incredible. You deserve A LOT more attention. Keep up the amazing work 🔥
Dude the tease in the beginning was sick! Awesome to see another update!
This is where leaps and bounds in technology happen. You, Edison Motors, and Mike Patey. These are the people I’m looking at who will make the future.
That looks really good so far can't wait to see the next part
Creating a halo assault rifle more cost effectively could use the Helion bull pup and a picatinny mount for the AR top cover which the empty space could then house the targeting system similar to the US military’s new holo therm sight but the sight part wouldn’t be needed as it would link to the HUD system.
Absolutely incredible. That helmet blew my mind. 😮
Sneaky Lego infinity gauntlet in the background there 😎
Dam, been a journey getting to this point, well done mate best luck for the future
Just amazing to see it all coming together. Proud to be a 00 fan! Love from Canada
Can you kidnap me to be a Spartan?
You are most likely too old
How many digits in your age?
@@peanutgallery4 single digits
I would reach out to all the guntubers, Brandon Herrera, Garand Thumb, Kentucky Ballistics, TAOFLEDERMAUS, Edwin Sarkissianm, etc. Reach out to as many as you can, I'm sure one will say come on down!
I hope the Shield generator will be able to run from standard UK 220v mains for initial charge :). Ahh, got ahead of me self there. Nice vid!
I wouldn’t be surprised if I see your work integrated in real military application. I’m currently serving and I only hear stories of the upgraded and more advanced equipment rangers and tier 1, special forces insert a cray unit. It’s crazy to something I thought as a kid so far away being so close lol keep doing your thing installation00!
Absolutely awesome work so far dude.
This is legitimately really impressive. Never thought I'd see so much tech put into service of my nerdy pursuits. Can't wait to see the final build.
This shows up on my feed this morning, I been a Halo fan since I watched it released on XBox. So you now have a lifetime subscriber, I forever wish you luck in many projects to come.
US Govt: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN
CIA: Awe... *puts down rifle*
I cannot stress how excited i was to see this update... I actually screamed when I saw it
LOL that grin... You can FEEL the excitement in that smile man!
Honestly, these ideas can be used for motorcycle equipment, especially the hard armored points. So all this work you're doing can have a universal application
I needed to find this channel. Since about 2020, I have been trying to put together the vigilante suits for a vigilante team I have been writing. I wanted them to have, potentially, the most "this could really exist", form-fitting, durable exoskeletons. I've been looking for realistic mechanics that allow internal cooling/heating systems that are comfortable to wear inside the suit. Amongst other people making practical gear, thank you for inadvertently helping me not give up on my characters.
Yo man, it becomes progressively better. Well done!
Wow, this is incredible. For the exoskeleton, have you already looked at how real medieval armour is mounted? Maybe contact Matt Easton from Scholagladiatoria, who again knows Dr. Tobias Capwell, who is the armour expert IMO. He does actually fight in his armour. The core of the mounting system is an arming jacket (yours might be high-techy of course) of which the arms are hung off. The legs can be strapped there, too. But a separate C-belt or lendenier might be more comfortable for this. So to speak, if arms and legs are separated, they move more freely.
I am sorry if you are already beyond this step, I just thought about that.
what we saw in this video was the equivalent to an arming jacket, the darker pads on it and the spine covering will be used to mount the armor, but you're definitely right that there would be lessons to learn from real historical armor that might not be present in the current revision
