Incase you haven't seen the Demolition Ranch video on Titanium... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWTJc56EfreCnZY

[@andyfriederichsen]

Titanium is also VERY BRITTLE. A metal's usefulness as armor isn't just dependent on hardness alone. The titanium used in MJOLNIR armor most likely has some softer metal like steel added to it.

[@luccagoldin5134]

@@andyfriederichsen It's an alloy. Its most likely not pure titanium

[@michaelhamar3305]

The weapon said that helmet thickness has 63mm not 53mm

[@luccagoldin5134]

For my armor composite that I theorize would work on a real suit of mjolnir I used your titanium 50 but I added a 1/8 inch composite that consisted of bilayer graphene that was separated by gold leaf sheets. When stacked in a bilayer configuration graphene will briefly become as hard as diamond when exposed to a large impact.

[@palladin1337]

I mean, a single suit already costs about as much as a warship already. But on that note; since a single well-trained Spartan can probably disable or destroy most average warships once aboard, and considering how much it costs to produce a Spartan, could they be considered anti-ship weapons?

It's mind-blowing to learn how the GEN3 armor suit represents the pinnacle of MJOLNIR armor technology featuring the best of GEN1, GEN2, SPI & ODST's VISR combined. Not only it's built like a lightweight tank being more resilient to ballistic & energy weapons than previous generations, but also being surprisingly "stealthy", tactically & strategically more capable, and being incredibly smart with BIOS, health & armor monitoring, counterintrusion program & "survival mode" integrated into the armor system

​@Beeg Yoshi It is. While there are objectively beneficial improvements in gen 2 like thrusters for EVA, there are changes like the changing of the way gen 2 amplifies strength (which is mostly beneficial to Spartan 4s) which make a Spartan 2 or 3 weaker in a gen 2 compared to their old gen 1.

The spine armor is there probably there for prevention of flood infection and corruptor protocols, and there to take no fall damage... Considering john loves to jump, and it probably makes the spartan be his own odst drop pod

[@UNSCPILOT]

Given John has already been his own ODST pod a couple times in the past with the old Gen 1 Mark 6 armor, the upgrades to better resist such "incidents" is deffinitly a good call

[@Dovah_Slayer]

I think your right

[@barrybend7189]

I think the armor is there for more protection of the exosuit spine than anything else. as the spine is visible in the Gen 2 techsuit.

[@kingmasterlord]

they dropped for orbit and bear suits before and those weren't even as good as this one

[@luccagoldin5134]

Maybe the microgravity in the forging of the armor plates is used to eliminate any bubbles/imperfections in the crystalline structure that would make the plates weaker. It's most likely using microgravity to remove a variable in production. The ultrasonic treatment looks like it was used to remove a crust layer on the armor that is less dense than the optimized alloy.

[@gabeglynn7131]

Just so you know, there are new developments in artificial muscles like Liquid crystal elastomers. They are a lot like the liquid crystal used in halo. Also for real life mjolnir it could be powered my a ferrofluid microfission thorium reactor. It's very possible just quite hard to do.

Any other ideas for how they could be powered?

[@SanguineRoku]

As a note, the base device for both shield upgrades/overshields and the active camo module are identical save for the central emitter, suggesting that the module uses the existing armor shields to project the cloaking field in some way.

[@er1cdoom]

Cool theory, but the active camo still functions while the energy shields are down. I think they have to be separate systems.

Chief's GEN3 Armor possibly having cryostasis tech was what I assumed was the case too. Was the only way I could figure how he possibly survived out in space for 6 whole months. . .

[@Xanderhal]

One small thing I want to point out is that when you brought up the dead Spartans Chief finds in Infinite who didn't activate their failsafes, Weapon says "They never saw it coming, they were dead in an instant". The Spartan Hunter just killed them so fast they didn't even have a chance.

[@evanproctor469]

Imagine the day a Spartan retires and has to turn his armor in. Then has to wear normal clothes. Normal senses, pooping themselves, not being temperature controlled. Needing to do everything on their own. That is a big incentive to not retire. I can only imagine how dependent a Spartan would become relying on this armor for everyday things.

[@migueltoledo1884]

Well, I don’t think it would be too difficult to do everyday tasks, just the fact of reintegrating with society at large. Also, remember - Spartans are augmented and therefore better than any non-augmented Human in every way, shape, and form. Finally, I think ‘retirement’ of Spartans would mostly entail dying in battle.

[@thatoneguy7715]

@@migueltoledo1884 Depends on the Generation of spartan 2s would have no social skills and would probably be what the OP describes their challenges at(remember they were stolen as children around 5 or 6) (Or would be Neutrally Anti-Social, they wouldn't be social nearly at all due to them being bored with society and would only talk to other, former spartans (IIs) 3s would be similar as most of them were orphans children and became Spartans(Aggressively Anti-Social, would actively avoid people not out of boredom but just not wanting to be around people at all. If you talk to one incorrectly, they'll snap you in half) 4s obviously have the best chance, as they grew up as children, became teenagers and finally made it to adulthood before then becoming a spartan, while also training and serving with normal people who became human (If you strike a conversation with them, they'll talk back and might even crack a joke, and end up slapping and shattering your shoulder as they forget their strength)

[@smugreptile6695]

Most if not all of those were technology found on Requiem. And Requiem was destroyed. Suffice to say the UNSC wasn't picking up every piece of dropped promethean equipment while fleeing the planet. Its easier to program something to let people see through walls in a simulation, than it is to mass produce a piece of technology, that in hindsight, may only have really worked for chief due to Who he is, and what the Librarian did to him.

If the systems are as advanced that it compinsates for injuries it detects in the wearer then that means ANY injuries including long lasting disabilities. (I.e. Admiral Musa who was an SII whose augmentation left him paralyzed and confined to a wheel chair as well as fhajad who also has Parkinsons disease) this armor would allow physically disabled spartan operators to maintain mission cohesion as long as the operator is wearing this generation of mjolnir. My theory

More than likely not. Musa's not just disabled, he's also deformed, you still need muscles to move. If they're destroyed, moving the legs could cause further damage. Parkinson's would be ever worse, as the novels note that moving the armor before you get used to how quickly it moved bruised johns wrist. Parkinson's causes random uncontrollable movement. Imagine someone standing next you you, the next they have a leg spasm, and now they're halfway through the bulkhead like the world's shittiest hull plug.

My favorite thing about Spartans is how they're not beefy idiots in a fancy suit. They are educated to a college-level at least in physics and math and science, etcetera, so that they are even more effective at using the highly technologically advanced Mjolnir armor. Sure, you could stick a strong guy in this strong armor, and have him punch things... But imagine how much more effective they could be if they could creatively calculate outcomes based on what they know their equipment is capable of? Add to that an advanced AI and you have lightning-quick on-the-fly effective action and reliability.

[@Kitten-Master]

You talk about a lot of things being displayed on the HUD However I think it is pretty reasonable that a lot of that information is actually provided via the neural link. The HUD only shows this kind of thing in the games because human neural interfaces haven't been perfected and widely adopted yet. If I was wearing a suit I wouldn't want anything on the HUD that didn't absolutely have to be there. As it would be a distraction. I would also say that the neural interface would be faster at providing information than requiring visual processing in the brain. Since it skips that step and is available in a more raw format.

[@mateuszzielinski2166]

Yeah i agree. The hud is only for gameplay, realistically it would make more sense to just feed the info directly to their brain

These break downs go great with model building

[@TheDemigans]

That skinsuit creates the superhero problem of overheating. You have a person who uses more energy per second at sometimes a magnitude or more of the energy of normal humans but lack any additional cooling. The skinsuit would require a very sophisticated cooling system. In fact that might not be enough as the cold required to keep something like the MC from overheating could just freeze the skin. It might be necessary for a few connections to the bloodvessles and letting blood flow freely between the skinsuit and body, allowing the skinsuit to cool off the blood more directly and also perhaps store some extra over time to help save the Spartan if he's injured. It could also support the heart by pumping should the heart be compromised somehow (and the heart not broken and heamorraging).

[@phoenixjones7191]

Gen 4 is just gonna be a heavy version of the crysis nanosuit 2

[@01eksii]

Wasn't the gel lair designed to solve this issue?

[@TheDemigans]

@@01eksii 1: no, its designed to absorb and disperse heat from weapons. 2: I literally explain that whatever cooling you put on there, if it is just on the skin than it might need to freeze it. So I propose an alternative: connect blood vessels to the suit and cool the blood directly. It means you can add the surface area of all tubes entering the suit to your total cooling.

[@jackdeviluke3969]

Eh better than any baggy realistic stuff plus it's 500 hairs in the future it would be boring to have baggy androgynous modern military crap on Spartans

[@TheDemigans]

@@jackdeviluke3969 the point of these Halo breakdowns is to show the depth and add realism to Halo lore. Unfortunately some things aren’t realistic. But the point is: they could be. In this case instead of just a skinsuit, the suit is directly linked to the cardiovascular system and can cool the blood directly. It would also mean easy access for stimulants, nutrients directly in the bloodstream, filtering toxins, filtering and recycling waste, supporting the organs functions. Its a simple addition that helps make the Mjolnir suits far more realistic and useful. Why does the MC never go to the toilet or need to eat? Well because his suit is filtering the waste directly from his bloodstream (means less blood needed to go to the kidneys) and and processing it using the energy from his suit. This means he can stay alive without food for much longer, if not almost indefinitely, depending on how efficient the recycling process is. On top of the cooling and all the other things it could then realistically do. Hey you lost blood in the last attack? Well the suit has stored some of your blood over time and is now injecting it.

I very much enjoy hearing your use of real-world technical knowledge, especially in the areas of physics and materials technology, to supplement the lore of the Halo universe. Again, your work is top tier.

MJOLNIR armor in the lore: Very strong and practically bulletproof. MJOLNIR armor in the game: Literally can not protect the wearer from a pistol round to the head.

[@Corrupted-Sun]

Bold of you to assume the 10mm pistol IS a 10MM Pistol SMH SMH.

[@dslman737]

been waiting for something on gen 3, hell yeah!

[@karmasjustice1432]

One thing I've always wondered, since we never see Chief eat or drink. Does the armor have like a built in canteen or water unit, with a hose that connects to the helmet like a camelbak or something? I mean. I get that its a fps but even in most other games you see a canteen or something on the body armor or backpack or whatever. And being in the Marines, they push hydration. They could care less if you're eating enough, but you better be drinking water! And Chief is still human. A super modified human, but a human none the less.

[@BattlesuitExcalibur]

One of the things being looked at on the research side of exoskeletons is how powered support offsets the metabolic requirements of the human body. Dehydration is a side effect of exertion, brought on by higher blood flow rates pushing water out through the urinary tract as well as sweating. If the suit plays a significant role in reducing loads (thereby allowing heavier combat loads to be lifted, or an average load carried for longer), the operator can go for longer on a small supply of water. Not to say water is unnecessary, but a water supply integrated into the armor carries less than a camelback anyway.

[@BattlesuitExcalibur]

A refillable water bladder under the chest plate might be more accessible (for serviceability and refilling), and routing the drinking tube up to the mouth would become trivial.

[@SteveVi0lence]

The suit filters fuilds and recycles it

[@BattlesuitExcalibur]

@@SteveVi0lence I keep hearing this..... Recycling urine is not nearly enough water to satisfy hydration needs. Humans excrete less water than they drink, because most of it is stored in body cells (hence the function of hydration).

[@SteveVi0lence]

@@BattlesuitExcalibur it's the future

[@jlmoose3511]

That opening scene with the Spartans dropping in and saving that girl is such a satisfying scene to me; the nod and everything too it just feels right

[@Dapper_Dad]

I haven't seen a video of yours before and clicked on this as something to passively listen to while wfh because I thought it'd be reiterations of stuff I already knew. I ended up not working for an hour; Instant subscribe

[@Enderwave22]

Doctor Halsey, can I just say... This looks fuckin' CLEAN

[@apex3d595]

Ah yes, my day is complete. New video from my favorite youtuber

[@darthhideous175]

That was the coolest opening ever.

[@Lustie]

Insane detail man on your part. And the fact that nearly every aspect of the suit’s architecture is tangible is fascinating. Now all we need is for someone to put it all into one. Too bad that TALOS program got shutdown but I’m sure one day remnants of it will be utilized for a future project.

[@ΒασίληςΒλάχος-τ3κ]

Still my favorite video on this Chanel, I revisit it every couple of months

[@JohnDoe-cz3dh]

This makes the halo ad where the miners sacrificed themselves even more heartfelt

[@FakeJeep]

Would love to see a breakdown of each gen of Mjolnir. Great video as always.

[@OrionKaelinClips]

22:15 A Demolition Ranch call out!? NICE!

[@97dtharrison]

Thanks for the content. I really enjoyed this. It enriches the halo universe more for me and makes playing it cooler.

[@reclaimer4236]

I would love a gen 3 Anubis armor lore video. This was a great video btw!

[@thunderchild8548]

I was not expecting it but so glad that you mentioned DemolitionRanch long-time subscriber to the channel both of yours

[@--gmoney5572]

The Hydrostatic Gel/ Nano Gell. Has to be able to work almost on the molecular level, seamlessly to be able to jump with it. Until we create this Gell, we Cannot Prevent Many DamaGes! This is where our society is at, until we get the gel for the "nuro link" then No Long Jumps/ the suit tears body parts off...then the Suit can Use the Other Systems to move With Input+ The Jell Suit moves With Input, so you can resist the Damages to the Extent And Space Jump. All a part of OdST! The Core Upgrade And Double Systems Suit would be where I would start! Keep it up.. VISOR is Cortanas original training subroutine base program... written by Dr. Halsey. She was taught it while John was a kid in Indoc.. all I can say for now..!

[@jordanhcook5852]

Saw the intro and thought we might have gotten an update on The Cartographer. :( Still! Looking forward to watching it!

[@vikhdez9306]

Dr. Haley's greatest masterpiece

[@akumaangelus2999]

Demo Ranch reference made me smile. :)

[@jonharper4478]

Dude. This was a magnificent breakdown. You brought up stuff I never even thought about.

[@IgoByaGo]

Thank you for starting this out with Legacy of Generations. It is my favorite track from Infinite.

[@mark_thurwanger]

I appreciate your dedication to being very thorough in your videos. Keep up the good work good sir.

[@amdkillaplays]

One thing that threw me about the weapons ability to smell via suit sensors is that surely via access to the neural interface, an AI could decode what the brain picks up on. But then this would likely be useless inside the suits filtered air systems

[@UNSCPILOT]

Given the fact that the AI shares "space" in the Spartan's own brain, with some practice and the Spartan or opening their helmet (or having a filtration failure) the AI might be able to read our own senses too. Given the more advanced capabilities of the Nueral interface and our own modern research into such systems it in fact could be easy for the AI to read the Spartan's own senses, the AI might very well see the world partly threw the Spartan's own eyes in addition to cameras in the armor (and Spartans have darn good eyes so there would be plenty to see)

[@connerforbis1466]

Installation00 mentioning Demolition Ranch makes me moist. My two favorite channels are now connected.

[@6bladek]

Incredible video as always!! Going from earliest variants to newer ones sounds like an awesome idea, I'll be here for it all! 😁

[@Elysiumlost]

Nice! Watching now. I hope this provides an answer to how the chief was able to survive in space for 6 months.. it's been bugging me since the game came out that this is never clearly explained

[@invadertnt]

I mean the suit seems to have a built in mini personal cryo-stasis device for emergency use......also it has a built in life support system for matters such as this.

[@UNSCPILOT]

I vaguely remember one of the proposed upgrades to Mark 7 being a cryo survival mode, so I was pleased to see it's inclusion. Course, another of those updates was a Micro-Slipspace drive to allow the armor to teleport without needing to hijack a Halo Ring's teleportation grid, it would be fun if that was included at some later date perhaps in a further update of the Mjolnir Gen 3 platform (though for gameplay reasons it would need to be limited to avoid making other abilities and vehicles redundant, perhaps only used as a backup option for traveling during the story due to extreme power draw or risk)

[@3dpyromaniac560]

Name dropped Demo ranch. That brought a smile to my face

[@Ghastly_Grinner]

I know its probably done for an artist's aesthetics but I really wish the armor came with pouches for ammo and other kit again

[@GamesforCykits]

Congrats on growing your channel this far mate.... maybe one day ill get there....................... maybe in another 10 years... love your vids

[@HouseTre007]

that intro was SUPER badass

[@nruojos]

shocked to not see a crotch-area shield generator in the example with the red circles. massive oversight on halsey's end, amazed no one complained.

[@markss367]

14:58 odd because gen2 was stated to use force multiplying circuits as well as reactive circuits

[@jacobtaatjesjake6816]

If chief only has a “class 2 battle skin” when 343 guilty spark suggest he should have at least a “class 12” then I really wanna see what a class 12+ can do

[@mayanksharma3651]

Weapon - You smell fine btw. Masterchief - How? I haven't taken a bath in 6 months

[@JaredaSohn]

I would love to see you do that archive series revisiting each mark of each generation of Mjolnir armor! I usually say that the best place to start is from the beginning, so Gen 1 Mark 1 (though I guess Mark 4 of the same generation would perhaps be most accurate as it really is the first to resemble a Mjolnir...) and then proceed with each mark sequentially and then on to the next generation so on and so forth!

[@jravelo2]

Nice reference to Demolition Ranch :)

I'm an inorganic chemisry grad student and seeing SEM micrographs in a Halo video of all things is so damn cool

The video I’ve been waiting for!

[@hael6t418]

Yessss ive been waiting on this one, so excited!!

[@justsoicanfingcomment5814]

When master chief fell from orbit. He was holding on to a very large flat piece of steel. This without a doubt slowed down his terminal velocity.

[@erospicone8858]

That introduction was awesome dude

[@nick5049]

God's good grace. I've been waiting for this

[@Forced2DoThis1]

Couldn't Chief's 6 Month survival in space have been aided by his Forerunner enhancements?

[@projectlessweforget]

I just realized that Chief's armor in Halo Infinite is very similar from Halo Legends (The Package), anyone else see the similarities?

[@markss367]

It was inspired by that armor

[@PeteNice29]

At first I thought they just took the lazy way out and the suit engaged reverse thrusters with no animation. The slight vibration on terminal descent sort of gives you this impression.
