MJOLNIR-ARMOUR/EGYPTIAN-POWER ARMOUR/POWER-ARMOUR-COOLANT-SYSTEM/VENTILATION-SYSTEM A Egyptian power armour will need small, twin ventilation and coolant system. These will be outfitted near the shoulder [blades] of the wearer/user. They will resemble large, bulky protrusions (like twin backpacks) that system from the shoulder area, as though they were wings. This complex ventilation system is what makes the power armour comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Like the life support system, the ventilation and coolant system will need to be monitored and regulated by an in-built Ai system. Update (08/03/2022): I wonder if slime-mold [technology] can be utilized to optimise the efficiency of the ventilation system, i.e. to integrate a thin suit-made of living slime mold (if successful, this would also help to minimise weight of the power armour, thus aiding and ensure that energy is spent elsewhere). The slime-mold suit will need to make contact with the wearer/user; where it can conduct heat and other biological waste (such as sweat, and potentially dead blood cells from a bleeding wound) away from the user, and expel it near the air-ducts or any other preferred location. NOTE: Egyptian power-armour will combine the functionality of a thin space suit (like that seen in "space X's space suit"), a basic medical, life support system and monitors, and finally a knights suit of armour. The suit will electronic, and obviously computerized (assisted by a combination of AI systems). When it action, it will be somewhat fluent, and capable of making fluid action and movement, despite being a robotic suit (LLMs that are dedicated to mimicking natural body moment in fluid motion will comprise the majority of the suit's AI output). Lastly, the suit will need to be water resistant (water resistant spray, that is difficult to chip and wear out after extended usage will be preferred), and its ventilation system will be integrated with a small filtration system. This will make the suit resistant to poison or environments with airborne, hazardous substance. NOTE: A tough plastic material should be utilised on the exterior of the [Egyptian] power-armour. While being weather resistant and durable, its primary pose will be to give the power armour form (so that it looks futuristic and formidable-further adding to its ability to function as a deterrence), as well as double as additional shock-absorption/shock-dampener. The material will then need to be painted with metallic paint, so as it give it a metallic aesthetic in its composition (deceit/material mimicry). //Close.

Goofing? You mean field testing right?

[@andrewbutton2039]

I would imagine the M-II had much greater strength amplification than the M-IV onwards, and that's why it required tethering to a large power source, Dr Halsey probably realised, after a bit of testing M-II, that her Spartans didn't actually need to be able to fling tanks into low orbit to be combat effective, so she scaled back the power amplification to a more reasonable level, which consequently made a sufficiently compact power source easier to make.

Strike Yea but with the amount of things they went through in that short time and to have Cortana in space looking and thinking about Chief for 4 years straight, I feel like Cortana viewed John as not only humanity’s savior, but her’s.

[@samuelpettington2241]

@@rstriker21 Yeah, I get what you're feeling. But I thought about it and it doesn't seem that weird to me now. When 75+% of the time you spend together is in constant life threatening scenarios, it tends to forge a certain type of bond. Especially when both of them rely on each other for survival. The relationship is far from romantic, but like something a little bit more developed than a bond you would have achieved with a battle buddy you went through basic military training and then fought a few fights with. It's also more personal (Cortana literally being in Chiefs head). Anyways, 3 months may seem short. But to Chief and Cortana it probably feels much longer than that.

[@ronansmith9148]

The Prototype is a revival of the earlier project MADOX. It was covered up when Unit-1 was lost during transport and found by a possible separatist sympathizer.

I don’t know for sure if there’s any lore at all for this, but I’ve never heard why didn’t the UNSC or ONI look back at any of the Mk1 -3 designs once the micro fusion reactors were created. They would have made them more viable, maybe not enough for large scale frontline use but enough to for defending key facilities and maybe as shock troops deployed with ODST’s.

[@AKlover]

Always wondered why they never scaled the Jackal's shield up for Spartan use or put a smaller version of it on the front end of A rifle? A nearly weightless shield pushed out in front outside of their personal armor shields that an incoming projectile would have to get through.

[@brancolt_]

because it’s redundant

[@Anxiou5Panda]

I think redundance in their line of work is justifiable. I think a little bit of "cyborgization" of Spartans could also help. For example, replacing the eyes with synthetic ones that would allow the Spartan to see a little bit further, clearer, and at night would also be justifiable if the helmet is compromised. In that case, removing the helmet might be okay as long as the environment has breathable air. Just my thoughts.

[@MichaelJohnson-uo3ef]

I think it has more to do with specialization and how spartans fight. As i feel like it would be better for the UNSC to make plasma based weapons to deal with the shielding of the covenant vs making spartans hand held shields when said shields are also weak to the covenants plasma weapons.

The following games had the specific power armor in which every armor platform I absolutely enjoyed: *Mark IV* (Halo Wars: Definitive Edition and Halo Wars 2) •Depending on the Mark IV platform, it had built-in thrusters. •It had no protective shielding, making the armor vulnerable to mostly any attack. *Mark V[B]* (Halo: Reach) •Used by Spartan III operators, it was a prototype for the final model of the Mark V. •First armor to feature shielding systems, but still required a Biofoam Canister or Medkit incase the shielding ever reached it's limit on the battlefield. •Used UNSC developed Armor Abilities to protect and ensure the armor stabilized on the battlefield for decent periods of time. *Mark V* (Halo: CE Anniversary) •Allows the armor to house a Smart AI which would smart-link with the wearer's Neural Lace and enhance the armor's usage. *Mark VI Gen 1* (Halo 2: Anniversary to Halo 4) •Featured Biofoam Injectors when the suit's shields were down and the wearer took damage from incoming fire. •Had limited thruster fuel making the armor able to slow it's landing from a high velocity point before touching the ground. *Mark VI Gen 2* (Halo 5: Guardians) •Featured enhanced thrusters, making the wearer able to perform more actions and increase their speed a lot quicker. •Featured Mag Boots, allowing the wearer to grapple to anything that had a magnetic surface. •Featured Spartan Charge and Ground Pound capabilities, increasing damage to enemies while using these techniques. Mark VI Gen 3 in my opinion will be a great armor for Chief in *Halo: Infinite.* Cant wait to see what it can do. :)

Canonically, yes. They have a mildly uncomfortable disposal system. Aka tubes in places you don't usually want tubes in.

[@Anxiou5Panda]

I think I00 has a video explaining this in detail. I would imagine Spartans do not need to defecate because they do not have solid food rations. It is in liquid form and gets injected to the body making the entire process simpler and more efficient. Their pees then pass through catheters that are then filtered multiple times to be used again. Unpleasant process and completely devoids the Spartan of any enjoyment (from eating), but yeah, that's how I understood it.

I noticed some similarities between the pinch reactor model in your video (34:40) and recent suggestions made by a company known as HB11 to create a fusion reactor that, instead of using electromagnetic fields and extreme temperatures to maintain a stable plasma, used high powered lasers to launch hydrogen atoms at a boron "pill" (or something like that), with the goal to physically smash the accelerated hydrogen into the boron, forcing fusion to happen without the need for high temperatures, plasma, electromagnetic fields etc. It's emitted signatures (heat radiation, electromagnetic, others) would possibly be reduced by a lot. Positively charged helium ions released by the collison would be the energy harvested by a system that can be directly hooked up to a power grid. I think this would be the go to fusion energy generator type for Mjolnir armor, if any of this becomes real in our universe. The applications in our real world would also be huge, and in a system so simple it's almost too good to be true. It's also cheaper to make and can be scaled much more easily than other designs. No need to convert thermal energy (or whatever is harvested from a plasma fusion reaction). Just plug and go :D Man, your videos get me all hyped up about Halo, science and so many other interesting things! Never would have investigated fusion energy if not for Halo. Cool shit.

[@samuelpettington2241]

@@cancelanime1507 That's a neat way to enable a fusion reaction, but it sounds like a tremendously inefficient method. Plus, we haven't perfected fusion energy yet, much less invented artificial gravity. Scaling such a system down to backpack size for a real life Mjolnir suit is currently impossible. But in a sci-fi universe it seems to work really well :)

[@PS-mw9cc]

I have a question. Mk V and onwards featured energy shields that used excited clouds of plasma to work. Where and how would you say this matter was obtained, and is it likely that due to repeatedly losing shields a spartan could run out of material to excite and therefore los the ability to have shields. Is this stuff stored within the spartan armor? If so, where? How fast would you say it runs out?

[@Thaumiel-115]

The shield indeed is made out of plasma which is superheated gas, to answer the question, if you look at a mjolnir armor set if you look closely you'll see bright dots or spots, those are like electromagnets they create a magnetic field around the suit sealing it and creating the geometrical medium for the plasma to flow on, once the field generates the plasma for the shields comes directly from the micro fusion reactor. When the suit takes damage the magnetic field around the shield becomes distorted or deformed, after enough damage the field can't be contained and it "pops". After a few seconds the process starts all over again . You can also see how it works if you watch the detailed description of previous generations of mjolnir.

[@Thaumiel-115]

Also to follow up how long the shielding system could last with the collapse and regeneration of the field, it is close to indefinite since the micro fusion reactor last about 10 to 15 years before maintenance and refueling, and in the longevity of the reactor it also includes the shield system which uses a good amount of plasma. As long as the fusion reactor has fuel it could last a long time........unless the reactor fails and the suit uses the auxiliary power unit then the shielding system is useless

[@Grimpy970]

IVE HAD A QUESTION FOR SO LONG AND YOU JUST BARELY TOUCHED ON IT. AT 18:30 you talk about the shield strength and thickness of the mjonir shields on the bottom of the boots. Would this hair-thin shield be capable of vaporizing flood biomass? In the Halo 3 level cortana, the Master Chief visibly has flood biomass on the soles of his boots, and he only manages to shake off a small amount. This implies the flood goop is directly contacting the mjonir plates and partially curling off of them in a fluid motion. Are the shields 'good enough' to actually disinfect a spartan's suit from flood biomass? also, side note; how the hell did the arbiter manage to go through 'Cortana' without breathing in even a single flood spore? His armor is hardly modern

[@samuelmorse7490]

There are a couple mentions to the shield strength and the ability for spartan II’s to modulate the distance the shield is from portions of the armor such as the hands and boots. I believe that if chief were to push the shield from the soles it would keep the flood biomass from coming in contact but it would make it difficult to move in a surface unless in vacuum. The material on the shields is better touched in halo fall of reach. In the case of arbiter his armor is ancient but while its cloaking ability is no where close to the covenant-human war sangheili combat harnesses the shields are more or less the same so it does give some protection. The level of infection on the ark wasn’t advanced enough in the ground for enough biomass to begin giving off spores so there isn’t much of a worry there. But I agree that I don’t understand how he was never infected, sangheili body suits aren’t as strong as the Spartans body glove. He should have been infected through touch, cuts and gashes into his flesh from flood combat forms that can introduce flood super cells into the blood stream. I hope this helps.

44 minutes of Installation00 talking.... You, VaatiVidya, Fudgemuppet, i dont know what it is about deep british voices talking about stuff i love but damn am i glad yall do it

[@flare9757]

I can sense we are on the verge of a technological breakthrough in power generation.

[@benjaminrobledo5466]

Know I know why the developers started with the mark V. They wanted some wiggle room for future lore. 😂 They didn't want any bad plot points. 😁

[@alexiel4406]

Best thing to wake up to a new video from 00

[@cbo2864]

So I can't tell you how many times I see spartans in dark places and supposedly can't see. They can see in total darkness according to Halsey's notes, and they're trying to tell me in a suit of armor that costs as much as a space craft they couldn't include NVG/IR capabilities??? Can you please explain why HALO keeps doing that???

[@Uknowjusticemill]

You already answered your own question, the Spartans can see in the dark without the suit their retinas were enhanced. This allowed them to bypass NVG part of the suit saving time and cash when producing many suits.

[@nuclearphoenix177]

Jt Hopkins I thought in reach you had nvg’s In campaign

[@donaldbaird7849]

@The Four Horsemen yeah spartan 2's drank night vision potions

[@nikolasspade2700]

Would like to see more videos for the armory. Really wanna know why the dmr was so disliked by the unsc.

[@YEETUSDAFEETUS]

cause they had bad aim

[@MrMarinus18]

With those very large and cumbersome suits they really don't offer any advantages over a conventional tank. Which would be considerably faster, have no range limitations, can support a much heavier gun and has significantly better armor.

[@henrysmith893]

28:12 the music volume level in on per with your voice level so it’s a bit hard to hear you talking sorry but other than that a great video

[@spectrumstudios4848]

I challenge you to make a complete breakdown of the UNSC infinity.

[@LegatusLucius1994]

Oh my goodness The Fallout 4 Universe Master Fusion technology and miniaturized it despite everything else being old-fashioned what they needed was a pre-war Fusion core those ones don't drain easily

[@DerCharacter]

That thumbnail is awesome

[@maxcruickshank77]

7:58 Left leg bullet holes

[@maxcruickshank77]

Why you liking this I'm just noting it.

[@nunyabuizness2953]

They should've added a large exoskeleton vehicle like the Cyclops in Halo 2 to better combat threats like Hunters and Brutes. Better if you don't have to be a spartan to pilot it. I mean... most aliens in the covenant dwarf humans so that should have been a consideration.

[@ForesakenVengance]

The thing that gets me is all the Lore around the Mk1 and above suits sounds like plot armour that the suit can’t be scaled back for say someone like Johnson or osman to wear it. ( obviously pre-spartan four “safe “augmentations) or even ODSTs or something.

[@phd9335]

Man I love these videos

[@EonAce]

Kinda disappointed that you didn't use any footage from Halo Legends' "Prototype" when talking about the Mark I. Love the video though. The amount of detail you go into when explaining various things in Halo lore is unparalleled, and your straight-forward delivery always keeps me interested.

[@stevesilvasi5843]

Call me a boring ass nerd but hot damn this is video is just great. Love the stright to the point format. You sir are good man. Ps great voice :)

[@lambofgod94x]

I am addicted to these wish I could donate

[@sagesheahan6732]

Out of all power armors in sci fi, this is the one Id use as a base platform to the others. That is, Id add tech to this, but this would be the basic platform with which Is add technologies too. Lets say I could add other tech to this armor from other sci fi IPs. Damn right this would get Iron man tech like an Arc Reactor and the ease of use that armor has (I make it so anybody could wear the armor but it still beeps up the user, so a normal would still not bring the armor to full potential, but it wouldnt kill them either), an omni-tool, advances to the shielding via starfleet tech, numerous onboard weapons loadouts like an iron man armor, but atnthe end of the day, the reason id pick this armor is: you wouldn't really need to add much. At all. Its fun to toy with this idea, but essentially Im also saying, this is probably the best example of power armor out there. And again, even if you could cross technologies from other science fiction universes, you really wouldn't need to add much. And could deal with a lot of problems through out sci fi without any added tech.

[@killerjoe117]

“With halo Infinite just around the corner” 🥲

[@cowerdnerddespacito9518]

I just remembered that sergeant Major Johnson is a leader in halo wars 2 Then I realized that halo wars 2 takes place on the ark which means SOF found Johnson wandering the ark after he escaped his death

[@barrybend7189]

Johnson is one of 2 non cannon gag faction choices.

[@spiritwalkeres9196]

Duuuuuude what generation of mjolnir is that in the thumb nail!? That’s my favourite 🥵

[@andrewhte9304]

I just wanna see Red team to meet up with current day UNSC and have them comment on how outdated their armor is.

[@punctuationman334]

Red teams armor is the sexiest in the series. They would get a technical upgrade once they hook up with modern day UNSC but would look far uglier as well.

[@crusader7eth163]

This was incredible. Also didn’t we hear that some went to another galaxy? Could we maybe hear in the future that not all was like that? Or is that just it? It feels like maybe that wasn’t the end all be all but maybe just what the precursors of the milky way did?

[@masquerader101]

I find it interesting that most of this lore never existed at the start, and that the writers just put so much afterthought into it that it all made sense. At least most of the lore makes sense

[@Frost-01]

i just realized, people keep taunting and shaming spartans as not being able to swim in water, but if you look at it, how would you be able to swim in a suit that almost weighs a tonne?

[@aridonrexhepi7024]

They can swim

[@trishulyumnam2452]

The explanation of mark 7 suddenly became so fast

[@cryptosporidium1375]

Imagine a cohort of these men and women prowling one battlefield... the covenant would be freaking out and would glass the area.

[@JAYRODo420o23]

The fact that this guy has any idea what the heck he's talking about gives me faith that this is possible, it ain't the haters that get cool shit built, it's the nerds!

[@andresummerbell203]

Also, unless I'm missing something which I most likely am, the newest Gen suit has its own Cryo function. Chief doesn't wake up in a pod in Halo Infinite after all. So far anyway.

[@lazerwarriorgamingg9027]

These are some amazing 44 minutes

[@UncleMikeDrop]

All we currently need for IRL power armor is a sufficient mobile power source.

[@stangundam01]

for the gen 3 of Mjolnir I'm thinking the gen 1 mk7 with all the best features of the gen 2 series that can also combine with a cyclops for really unleashing on the battlefield if it be space or ground

[@lateefpou2986]

When I finish my time machine you and me instillation 004 . We are out too get our own armor.

[@Skylancer727]

One thing I always thought was weird is that they put people in these suits all the time, but why not just send robots from orbit and have the soldiers controlling them from the command vessel? It has the advantage of the strength and the durability and likely even higher durability and take away the risk of losing the soldiers. This means they could also do more haste actions as the suit can be replaced over say a person. The only reason I can think is that the covenant use plasma which may result in EMP to them though not sure how that wouldn't effect the suits as much.

[@lichguard]

8:32 most badass armor design... change my mind

[@spartanhawk7637]

Don't forget one important detail It's the single coolest looking SciFi armor around MAYBE tied with clone troopers from Star Wars.

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

The mark 1 exo did see combat against the covenant only once as prototype , during a cole protocol thingy.

[@danielkennedy5602]

I imagine the mk3 didn't get made first because the concept was either more "exotic" or advanced and the mk1 was simpler so they went with the mk1 making it technically the first.

[@gtkatnissonfire966]

I love the MC's new armor it looks like a natural progression from the Mk.VI and not armor he wore in H4 and H5. That armor always looked weird to me. It really looks like the armor he wore in halo legends The Package which was an epic display of what Spartan II's are like in cannon, minus Spartan Solomon he was poorly written.

[@FableWolfe]

The Gen 3 looks amazing. Who knew Chief had such a fine ass? The Gen 2 didn't show me that, but the 3 did. That's enough to get me on board.

[@TrollMcLolTheFirst]

Suit can survive in the vacuum of space but instantly dies in water

[@LegatusLucius1994]

The trapped inside a useless show quote applies to all the power armor

[@barrybend7189]

Wish we had MK 4 armor plate for gen 2 Spartan 4 armor like the MK 5 and 6 in Halo 4.

[@Richard_Frost]

I think it's very weird the gen 3 doesn't give a health system. It'd make more sense for the tech to have more indepth health since it's better.

[@UncleMikeDrop]

I know it's just a nod to Ninja Gaiden, but I'm all about the Hyabusa Armor.
