Exoskeleton chest armor "suit up" motion test. -- build video #5

[@eelikay]

Is bro building this in a cave with a box of scraps?

[@lionelslab]

This might be my favorite comment!

[@santynolo]

Why hasn't this got a million views already??? It´s amazing!

[@lionelslab]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@ironcladexo]

Now this is some genuine baddass power armor. You don't see this every day, bravo

[@lionelslab]

Thanks for the compliment. By the way, I saw "exo" in your name and checked out your channel. I see you're building an exoskeleton also. I think that's great!

[@P-Ian]

You're building something alone, that could well take a small team of people to manage the whole project. Man, i hope this video reaches more people, would be nice to see you rise even higher with this channel!

[@lionelslab]

Thank you for that supportive comment! I appreciate it!

[@RealfishingNL]

New sub. Gr from the netherlands. Love to see how you keplep upgrading it👍👍

[@lionelslab]

Netherlands awesome! Thanks! And as a bonus you are the 100th subscriber!

[@Mew2TGM]

You just got a new subscriber because I'm surprised you're not in Mark Rover's team because this is some cool work my guy

[@lionelslab]

Thanks for subscribing and for the words of support!

[@joecrisp9060]

Holy crap, it's happening! Ppl are building power armor in their garages! It's only a matter of time now bb.

[@lionelslab]

This is the ground floor in exoskeleton development.

[@arachnohack9050]

Wow dude, I need to watch the rest of these! It's like the lifter from Alien .

[@lionelslab]

Thank you!

[@BenBAdventures]

This is so sick!

[@lionelslab]

@@BenBAdventures Glad you like it!

[@dovahfpv1326]

You need to add a bleed valve at the highest point of the system. Flip the hydraulic cylinder over and run a 90 degree bleed valve on either port. And connect the hoses from there. Good luck!

[@lionelslab]

The bleed valve is a good suggestion. Thanks!

[@RedRambo30]

This is amazing great work man greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 can’t wait to see more …. Just wondering how much does it weight at the moment?.?

[@lionelslab]

I have not officially weighed it yet but my approximation as of the progress in this video is somewhere between 158 and 181 kilos (350 and 400 pounds).

[@RedRambo30]

@ wow man thanks for answering my question. Can’t wait to see more 👍

[@2EEsTunes]

what in the Fark. this looks sick. subed and bell for more

[@lionelslab]

Thanks! More is in the works!

Thanks for that!

🔥🔥🔥

[@lionelslab]

Thank you!

[@arachnohack9050]

Just an idea... would it not be easier to just use gas springs and a latch to open it and have a single pneumatic piston to close it? Might give you more space for other gadgets. Much respect dude , it's awesome what you've done here.

[@lionelslab]

Hi, I did consider gas springs initiaĺly but as you noted a cylinder would still be needed to close it. If I use a pneumatic piston then I'll also need to add an air compressor. I prefer to keep everything hydraulic. I don't like phneumatics for reasons I plan to explain in a future video. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

daim thats crazy bro!

We're about to witness the bite of 25

[@lionelslab]

It's not actually autonomous so we're safe. But supervillians won't be!

[@ZackBratvold]

I can tell you made most of this with steel. Have you considered aluminum composite? This is really close to the Fallout power armor frame. If you could make it like that the Armor could be custom and removable.

[@lionelslab]

@@ZackBratvoldHi, I used steel because at the time it was my most practical choice for a first time project like this. I didn't have equipment to weld aluminum. I will certainly consider other materials in future exoskeleton versions. Especially for the purpose of reducing it's weight.

[@fajitasbro]

ill take two

[@lionelslab]

Having multiple fully functioning exoskeletons would be awesome!

[@fajitasbro]

@@lionelslab how much do ya think a bare minimum exo would cost compared to an fully enclosed one

[@lionelslab]

@fajitasbro I actually have not seriously thought about what one would cost. I can tell you that I still have a lot of work to do and many components to add before it is complete, and hydraulics are expensive. I've been slowly building this exoskeleton for several years and little by little I've certainly spent thousands of dollars on parts and materials. However some of that was spent on parts that I ended up not using because they either didn't work how I wanted or the design just changed. So until this exoskeleton is complete I couldn't give any useful estimate on cost.

[@fajitasbro]

@@lionelslab ah gotcha ya

[@Jim-j7s6s]

Haha brother I am your friend on tanderm, but my account has been cancelled and I still have your YouTobe😂

[@lionelslab]

Yes I remember you. Good to see you on KZbin.
