They would if everyone else could do this but not a lot of people build shit like this companies sponsor so they get there viewers to buy there stuff there not gonna sponsor someone for the future tech unless there getting paid for it
Bryar Sellner I agree me beast is helping people die tech isn’t going to help people (in the case of hack smith industries) my best feeds people sets up there future and gets people back on there feet. Maybe when the people are better this company we’ll get more spotlight
+mohd faiz 8 is still not enough... You're forgetting about the weight of the EDFs themselves, and the batteries :( we would need a minimum of 16, more likely 20 of these to actually hover
The military has experimented with this kind of stuff for decades. The problem is that soldiers need to be able to move around freely while in transit and combat, and you can't really do that with all that crap stuck to you. Plus helicopters are far more reliable and cost-effective, which is the exact reason why they don't give much thought to any alternatives.
Yeah and yet some companies Fund some kids RUclips channel while they are just letting thenfuture of technology be rusted away and left unknown I hope these guys get a good funding and be able to work on their projects They are literally the irl Ver of Tony Stark
juan camilo velez niño No he doesn't. I assume this project could be finished with less than $60,000. "And a few bucks" goes a long way when you multiply it by 20,000 people.
MonstahManGaming stop saying stupid things 1.he doesn't have the money 2.where is he gonna find it 3.it might be real but not that small not that light and how is he suppose to transfer the power
Taha Omar his last flying like iron man was a month before this and he's posted like eight videos between then and now, which to me is frequent, especially for a makers channel where they actually have to build something between uploads
Thanks for the question! We get asked this a lot, so we've created an FAQ on our website with all kinds of information, please check it out! www.thehacksmith.ca/faq/ In addition, if you haven't seen it yet, you should totally watch our video called One Year on RUclips -- it outlines how we've gotten to where we are today.

The power source is fans? (To actually get off the ground: you would need them to smaller, lighter, and more powerful. [You would also need a lot more of them.] You also need a much lighter, much more powerful energy source. [You've already created an Arclight reactor. This is something you could test it's power on.].)
the Hacksmith No no. Let's just look at the backpack. Instead of EDFs use a different design. Perhaps use a centrifugal fan that is long (the length of your back) and sucks air on from the sides and out the bottom. It gives you more blade area without having the width of a whole prop. It also gives you lower RPMs with more torque which is safer and easier to make.
You know, I think I saw, in one of the movies, a little booster on Iron Man's back. You might be able to put an EDF on the tactical vest to aid your flight. I'm not an engineer or a rocket scientist, but it might work.
the Hacksmith I want to do this stuff too. I also love the low tech super high power stuff on joergsprave's channel. I love making stuff in general. modding nerf guns, building functional weapons with lego, minecraft, from the depths, Robocraft... there are unlimited possibilities. the only limits are what you can dream (or afford XD) i just wanna say, you are someone to look up to. someone who says ㅗ to everyone who says it can't be done.
The two things yall NEED that Tony Stark had is unlimited power and money. The batteries just aren't cutting it and yall need so much money haha man, if only life were a comic book..
the thing is Tony Stark doesn't have "unlimited power" his arc reactors need replenished despite being super efficient in using the source material to create energy they arent unlimited.
Omega Zultron The iron man suit components are all simply extrapolations of what we already have today. And of course one single person wouldn't design the entire suit. Just like how a fighter jet isn't designed by a single person, or a functional exoskeleton, or an augmented reality device. But Elon has more than enough funding and engineers at his disposal for creating something similar, though of course not an exact replica. And in fact we already DO have power exoskeletons being used for both civilian life and the military. Just look at Cyberdyne's HAL suit in Japan, or the US Military's TALOS suit. It doesn't fly, but we DO have jetpacks and rocket belts, and we've had jetpacks and rocket belts for over 50 years already, just like we have bulletproof armor and augmented reality for fighter pilots. The main reason we're not using it all in combination is because it's ridiculously impractical and expensive, all for a single person, unlike an Osprey or a new destroyer. And billionaires don't really care about the new toys right now, so funding won't be coming from them.

The Marvelous Spider-man Buy a climbing suit. (it's not a suite for bordering or rock climbing, it's an actual suit with the same idea as Goblin armour in The Lord of The Rings. Hooks, and spikes in the armour to alow you better grip of surfaces, like a limestone wall with cracks or little holes etc)
You can't really make anything near a flight system as small as Tony Stark's suit without a large amounts of energy. Technology will need to evolve to the point where nuclear fusion is small enough like an arc reactor.
Yes... you can. We've run the calculations, designing a system using EDFs and lithium polymer batteries will allow for about 1-2 minute flight time. Still not economically feasible for a commercial system, but enough for a prototype.
Idk if you know but there is actually a guy with a jet engine on his back and can fly for a short duration of 10 minutes. But is a jet. If that is what you are thinking then is fine but I am talking about something as small as Tony Stark's hand. Something near the size of those thrusts you made and not a big jet pack on your back.
Our design is going to use EDFs and will last for a minute or two. We're aware there isn't a magic arc reactor to power the system -- that's besides the point.
I think what might help for cooling for both you and the thrusters is liquid cooling run tubes with a small battery powered pump to push through the water, line the legs and arms and battery packs plus thrusters with the tubes to cool them down
wow , eres genial , déjame decirte que soy argetino , tengo 17 años pero en 2013 empece hacer planos de lo que tu llevaste a la realidad , (lo voy a llevar a cabo en la feria científica ) no me voy robar tu idea , simplemente me basare en el diseño que hice de " niño " , ademas soy lo suficientemente vago como para no traducir el vídeo , ni si quiera veo como lo hiciste , solo si te funciono , se ve que tu tienes todas las herramientas y una economía " estable " como para realizar lo , mi " prototipo " va de la mano con materiales reciclados jajajjaaj te deseo suerte en el resto de tus proyectos! ( idioma castellano )
Just an idea for another invention: somekind of boots that will allow you to take longer falls,like 10 meters or something without any problems (reducing fall damage), if its posible.
+Knight long fall boots are kind of flawed in their portratal in the game -- even if you could make a mechanism to absorb a 10m fall, your legs won't take be able to take the massive Gforces that you'll experience -- you'd have to start slowing down at 1-2m from the ground
Was recommended to see you and how close you are to being the real iron man. I have to say this is dope. I love it and all your videos I'm going to watch now.
Joseph Lee I think that you don't need a degree to build something like this. All it takes is money and time, the two most valueable resources out there.
I understand (I'm an engineering student) but it looks like that what you are trying to achieve can be designed by anyone with enough passion and an internet connection. Speaking of passion, can you make videos on the more technical parts of the project? Like all the considerations and calculations that led to your choices. Most of us just want to see the thing fly, but others (like me) are interested in the reasons behind your technical choices, like an analysis on the single components and why did you decide to put them together the way you choose :) (I'm sorry if I sound rude, but english isn't my first language and I have an hard time with the feeling-transmission thing)
Technically yeah, and we usually mention that in our videos -- you don't *need* to be an engineer, but it certainly helps. There's lots of things we've learned through our education and especially work experience with regards to manufacturing, something that you can't learn as much about online =) We'll try and include some more technical videos -- the next one is!
At first: Great project and video! What came into my mind while watching: How about using some EDF's in a backpack which are "pumping" the airstream through a prefit channel? Like some Rocketbooster-like nozzle as an outlet, whilst 2-4 EDF's are giving enough volume to get an increased airspeed at the exit. Maybe that'll help bringing up efficiency
Which would make me ask, why Vector-Thrust then is so efficient? Whilst pumping more air into that channeling as being pushed through a reduced diameter, airspeed and pressure of the outcoming air should rise, if I'm not mistaking completely
Do you have any examples of vector thrusting with such a system? All that I've seen so far angle the motor to vector the thrust, which is fine. If you have piping redirecting the thrust a significant distance you're gonna lose a lot of thrust. This might be okay for little RC quad copters that already have a lot more thrust than they need, but for a system like mine you're just never gonna be able to get enough power to do it =(
Basically, the most efficient thrust comes directly out of the fan -- redirecting it in anyway causes turbulence in the airflow, which reduces optimal thrust.
Oh, okay, haven't thought of the turbulences in airstream. I was thinking of pumping air into a central channel with the fans angled in kind of a 30° angle and letting it out straight down or even angled a little to the sides, to give some sideways stabilization. A little inspired by the scheme of a turbofan but with multiple EFD's producing a combined airflow out to produce thrust.
Have you ever seen one of those kid toys where the kid puts something on their head and that lets them control a drone? Maybe if you get the full suit, sufficient funds, and lucky enough, you could do something like that where you’re able to think how fast you want to fly or if you want to just hover and it happens.
I'd suggest a better plate carrier (You called it an tactical vest lol). you can get much lighter ones that'll probably be more durable aswell. My suggestion would be a Crye JPC or something similar. it'll save a ton of weight and do the same task
Extending the wires can cause ripple current issues in the wiring, and make the ESC's perform poorly, overheat, tan also burn up motors. To compensate, you need CC cap packs to suppress the current ripples. They are installed next to the eSC,a nd can be piggy backed to each other. all of your equipment will work better, and more efficient once that is taken care of. Cheers!
I am impressed with the dedication you are putting into this considering how difficult it must be and the risks to your safety and the costs involved. Additionally, this stuff is super awesom cool.
DJ Dimitri NASA would most likely be going to billionaire Elon Musk and his existing reusable rocket company SpaceX. NASA already has jetpacks, so did the military, and you can buy jetpacks and real flying hover boards right now for around the price of a new luxury car or a house. I don't think anyone has tried building rocket boots though.
Which already exist in cold chemical reaction EVA jetpacks. They would just have to be made miniaturized so they could be carried comfortably. I honestly don't think they'd bother, because needing to fly around on Mars would be a cost/benefit analysts between the reward of flight and the risk of injury a million miles from the nearest hospital.
+Bumblebee 914 first attempt? We were well aware it wouldn't work, basic math.... We need about $50,000 worth of parts to get enough thrust to actually fly.
4, I guess. 2 for each leg and 2 for each arm. I know that would equal 96 kgs of thrust but with the 195mm EDF you'd be carrying a lot of batteries, hence more weight. (P.S: wouldn't the 195mm EDF aggravate the heating problems? Just a thought)
I would love to be able to do projects like these with my son, we do smaller projects and inventions now but nothing anywhere close to this magnitude. I wish so badly I had the funds to do so, he would love that so much.
I've been following this project from the beginning and I honestly think with the proper funding you can very well achieve your goal

Axel Why do you have likes on your comment? Lol.
Maybe scrap EDFs all together. Maybe you need to come up with something better than an edf that is also cost effective. Perhaps a multi bladed system.
That's the easy way out! ... also the props would be huge. Kinda defeats the purpose of flying like iron man =)
the Hacksmith No no. Let's just look at the backpack. Instead of EDFs use a different design. Perhaps use a centrifugal fan that is long (the length of your back) and sucks air on from the sides and out the bottom. It gives you more blade area without having the width of a whole prop. It also gives you lower RPMs with more torque which is safer and easier to make.
Centrifugal fans can't produce that much thrust though...
the Hacksmith Not with that attitude.
But for real. What if the proper modifications could be made to a centrifugal fan to make it give you decent thrust.

Elon Musk could probably do it if he felt like it, but he's a bit busy building rockets to Mars and self driving electric race cars.
Omega Zultron The iron man suit components are all simply extrapolations of what we already have today. And of course one single person wouldn't design the entire suit. Just like how a fighter jet isn't designed by a single person, or a functional exoskeleton, or an augmented reality device.

And in fact we already DO have power exoskeletons being used for both civilian life and the military. Just look at Cyberdyne's HAL suit in Japan, or the US Military's TALOS suit. It doesn't fly, but we DO have jetpacks and rocket belts, and we've had jetpacks and rocket belts for over 50 years already, just like we have bulletproof armor and augmented reality for fighter pilots.
The main reason we're not using it all in combination is because it's ridiculously impractical and expensive, all for a single person, unlike an Osprey or a new destroyer. And billionaires don't really care about the new toys right now, so funding won't be coming from them.
you guys should do a skit where you are hovering and then you fall and someone comes in and sprays you with a fire extinguisher :D

Our design is going to use EDFs and will last for a minute or two. We're aware there isn't a magic arc reactor to power the system -- that's besides the point.
This guy can build a space colony by himself.
I think what might help for cooling for both you and the thrusters is liquid cooling run tubes with a small battery powered pump to push through the water, line the legs and arms and battery packs plus thrusters with the tubes to cool them down
get funding from elon musk!! hacksmith
Because that is the only problem ? *Facepalm*
This is actually much more impressive then people might initially think.
wow , eres genial , déjame decirte que soy argetino , tengo 17 años pero en 2013 empece hacer planos de lo que tu llevaste a la realidad , (lo voy a llevar a cabo en la feria científica ) no me voy robar tu idea , simplemente me basare en el diseño que hice de " niño " , ademas soy lo suficientemente vago como para no traducir el vídeo , ni si quiera veo como lo hiciste , solo si te funciono , se ve que tu tienes todas las herramientas y una economía " estable " como para realizar lo , mi " prototipo " va de la mano con materiales reciclados jajajjaaj te deseo suerte en el resto de tus proyectos! ( idioma castellano )
combine it with the exoskeleton for full ironman. you will need a lot more thrust though.
Absolutely do the GoFundMe campaign!!

Just launched it! www.GoFundMe.com/theHacksmith
If they're ever will be a superhero or metahuman or even just iron man it's definitely gonna be him
FUSION GAMING not true
FUSION GAMING Elon Musk
FUSION GAMING If there will ever be*
hacksmith makes 18 minute videos projects take months doctor strange: what trickery is this Dormammu
Esse cara é um gênio...sou seu fã.
Just an idea for another invention: somekind of boots that will allow you to take longer falls,like 10 meters or something without any problems (reducing fall damage), if its posible.
+Knight long fall boots are kind of flawed in their portratal in the game -- even if you could make a mechanism to absorb a 10m fall, your legs won't take be able to take the massive Gforces that you'll experience -- you'd have to start slowing down at 1-2m from the ground
ok then. just an idea.
I wouldn't mind trying to make something like a Batman cape though...
oh thats sounds pretty cool. i would really like to see this.
the Hacksmith good idea, I like batman capes
I want to be just like you when I get older, You get to do all this cool stuff. And I just sit at home bored.
I believe there's an alternate universe where you fully replicated the Iron Man suit
Was recommended to see you and how close you are to being the real iron man.
I have to say this is dope.
I love it and all your videos I'm going to watch now.
try to make a liquid cooling system. maybe a computer liquid cooling system
Jacob grose yes
Maybe liquid nitrogen will do the work
weight that will harm
Or just redesign the EDFs to use a portion of the air they are pulling through as cooling.
The F-35 (for all of it's faults) uses it's own jet fuel as an engine coolant.
Don't call them jet boots, call them "Screw ur ez pz challenge Mr. Tony Stark actor." Haha
If you're on the fence about calling them jet boots just call them ' thruster assistance boots
If he would have the money Tony Stark had he could definitely make an Iron Man suit.
Damn ur the reason i want to be a successful engineer
Joseph Lee I think that you don't need a degree to build something like this. All it takes is money and time, the two most valueable resources out there.
+Mattia Lombardi being an engineer helps, and if you want to learn how to design and build things, engineering is where it is at!
I understand (I'm an engineering student) but it looks like that what you are trying to achieve can be designed by anyone with enough passion and an internet connection. Speaking of passion, can you make videos on the more technical parts of the project? Like all the considerations and calculations that led to your choices. Most of us just want to see the thing fly, but others (like me) are interested in the reasons behind your technical choices, like an analysis on the single components and why did you decide to put them together the way you choose :) (I'm sorry if I sound rude, but english isn't my first language and I have an hard time with the feeling-transmission thing)
Technically yeah, and we usually mention that in our videos -- you don't *need* to be an engineer, but it certainly helps. There's lots of things we've learned through our education and especially work experience with regards to manufacturing, something that you can't learn as much about online =)
We'll try and include some more technical videos -- the next one is!
the Hacksmith That's exactly what I intended, keep it up!
At first: Great project and video!
What came into my mind while watching:
How about using some EDF's in a backpack which are "pumping" the airstream through a prefit channel?
Like some Rocketbooster-like nozzle as an outlet, whilst 2-4 EDF's are giving enough volume to get an increased airspeed at the exit.
Maybe that'll help bringing up efficiency
Unfortunately any kind of redirection of thrust through piping or tubing... reduces potential thrust by a significant factor =(
Which would make me ask, why Vector-Thrust then is so efficient? Whilst pumping more air into that channeling as being pushed through a reduced diameter, airspeed and pressure of the outcoming air should rise, if I'm not mistaking completely
Do you have any examples of vector thrusting with such a system? All that I've seen so far angle the motor to vector the thrust, which is fine. If you have piping redirecting the thrust a significant distance you're gonna lose a lot of thrust. This might be okay for little RC quad copters that already have a lot more thrust than they need, but for a system like mine you're just never gonna be able to get enough power to do it =(
Basically, the most efficient thrust comes directly out of the fan -- redirecting it in anyway causes turbulence in the airflow, which reduces optimal thrust.
Oh, okay, haven't thought of the turbulences in airstream.
I was thinking of pumping air into a central channel with the fans angled in kind of a 30° angle and letting it out straight down or even angled a little to the sides, to give some sideways stabilization.
A little inspired by the scheme of a turbofan but with multiple EFD's producing a combined airflow out to produce thrust.
Have you ever seen one of those kid toys where the kid puts something on their head and that lets them control a drone? Maybe if you get the full suit, sufficient funds, and lucky enough, you could do something like that where you’re able to think how fast you want to fly or if you want to just hover and it happens.
This is such a cool project u could finish this
You need a flux compositor.
I'd suggest a better plate carrier (You called it an tactical vest lol). you can get much lighter ones that'll probably be more durable aswell. My suggestion would be a Crye JPC or something similar. it'll save a ton of weight and do the same task
+TriggerHapySheep it weighs like a pound tops... The heavy stuff are the batteries, ESCs, and the EDFs themselves :(
When someone says *Screw gravity*
Oh god we're gonna have a real superhero running the streets by next year
That moment when you just realize you live near the hacksmith...
how near=?
Like 45mins away
Cool!
I'm also pretty close to him
If 1hour and 13 minutes is close
Extending the wires can cause ripple current issues in the wiring, and make the ESC's perform poorly, overheat, tan also burn up motors. To compensate, you need CC cap packs to suppress the current ripples. They are installed next to the eSC,a nd can be piggy backed to each other. all of your equipment will work better, and more efficient once that is taken care of.
Cheers!
I think you guys should set up a patreon reward where the nerds can have a 5 minute talk with you to give advice on the topic.
+Sammy197 if we crack 1000 a month we'll be doing a one hour hangout per month for all patrons
I could see this in malls. People would pay to feel like iron Man for 2 - 3 minutes.
I am impressed with the dedication you are putting into this considering how difficult it must be and the risks to your safety and the costs involved. Additionally, this stuff is super awesom cool.
Try to get funding from NASA. They could use this prototype for potential mission to Mars.
DJ Dimitri I assume you've seen the advertisment for the Mars documentary that's gonna be on National Geographic.
DJ Dimitri
NASA would most likely be going to billionaire Elon Musk and his existing reusable rocket company SpaceX. NASA already has jetpacks, so did the military, and you can buy jetpacks and real flying hover boards right now for around the price of a new luxury car or a house. I don't think anyone has tried building rocket boots though.
With how thin the Martian atmosphere is, ducted fans aren't really viable.
Kerbal AirForce Martian colonists would probably use rocket belts instead of jets.
Which already exist in cold chemical reaction EVA jetpacks. They would just have to be made miniaturized so they could be carried comfortably. I honestly don't think they'd bother, because needing to fly around on Mars would be a cost/benefit analysts between the reward of flight and the risk of injury a million miles from the nearest hospital.
This is more Starlords thing
He said something about failing but listen to this f.a.i.l. first, attempt, in, learning
+Bumblebee 914 first attempt? We were well aware it wouldn't work, basic math.... We need about $50,000 worth of parts to get enough thrust to actually fly.
Hacksmith, how many 24kg 195mm EDFs would be ideal for your flight? And what website sells them?
+Alexander Clipper check out the gofundme campaign! Links and the plan are there
Alexander Clipper 3 i guess
4, I guess. 2 for each leg and 2 for each arm. I know that would equal 96 kgs of thrust but with the 195mm EDF you'd be carrying a lot of batteries, hence more weight. (P.S: wouldn't the 195mm EDF aggravate the heating problems? Just a thought)
blacksmith, you give me hope in humanity.
*hacksmith
you rock buddy... you'll do it completely for real some day and your name will be registered in the history. Just keep it up. don't ever stop.
I would love to be able to do projects like these with my son, we do smaller projects and inventions now but nothing anywhere close to this magnitude. I wish so badly I had the funds to do so, he would love that so much.
sees a hacksmith episode *automatically clicks like*
u should contact RDJ or Marvel maybe they would like to sponsor you
Super Marijus That's a really good idea
+Super Marijus RDJ is the one who challenged me to fly! you don't check my Facebook do you? :P
Could be a new subscriber
Really? Where do I find that?
the Hacksmith no i know that , thats exactly why i thought maybe he would like to help you out
The best RUclipsr out there. My favorite
If you put the fans on a free floating bearing ring in which you have around your hands it should automatically stabilize you similar to a gyroscope
