Retractable Arm Gauntlet Blades (Magnetic Drive)

I made these retractable Arm Blades to mount over a gauntlet for an effective combat defense system! These could be used to catch blades and yet retract to be out of the way when not in use. As with my other projects, I created these from the ground up taking it from early design sketches to a polished product on Etsy & released Patreon 3D files for you to print or CNC Mill (metal build) them yourself!

Bro, with some adaptations, this could have a tremendous impact on the mountain climbing/ alpinism community, as we are always looking for ways to minimize the equipment that we take up the mountain. We wouldn't actually have to be carrying an ice axe, once we reach icy conditions in the mountain. If you already did this. Im sure you can find a way to create some retractable crampons as well. This would also reduce the time spent adjusting our gear to go into the ice.

3:35 You could make an negative mold template of your arms and mark out for later, where the system has to be. Then pour the mold made out of several silicone hardnesses so the system will sit in place without constantly changing the position from body movement. Finally just cut it on the inner arm side to hide the holding mechanism (maybe an zip line 😅). Just an idea 😅😅😅

[@stephendye672]

I can see Matt Reeves is taking notes as you talk. Awesome work.

[@yanmartin3346]

This is awesome, both functionally and in aesthetics. One thing tho, they are meant to stop blades so that they dont hurt you, but you have the "panel" laid on top of your arm, the blades aren't on the side of your arm, so any blade going between them would still get to your flesh, hence its purpose would still be left unchecked. They made the same mistake in the Arkham Knight suit. Just constructive criticism. I could not have done it better than you, but putting it on the side of the arms would allow it to fulfill its purpose Edit: 4:07 Here you see the blades extended, if you imagine a knife going between them (or maybe doing a physical demonstration) it would get to your forearm damaging your Flexor Carpi Ulnaris and Bicipital Aponeurosis (nice biceps btw)

[@CrashMakerspace]

@@yanmartin3346 thanks dude! Thats always my goal with this channel; design new designs that have functional but aren’t bulky as clunky like a lot of DIY creations! And totally with the point of blades; these are intended to mount above a vambrace. I actually made a vambrace that stops 9mm that I showed in a Short on here a while back. Just not polished enough to make a full vid on it yet!

[@Kethra430]

ALMIITY ALGORITHM GRANT THIS VIDEO YOUR POWER!! Lol, seriously, though, awesome video! Plus one subscriber! (Idea) I think a cord is attached to a thumb ring or whatever finger you want. Maybe a whole glove, similar to those extreme VR haptic gloves. So you may like to close your fist, and it pulls the string to activate the system. Definitely needs a base, like a vambrace/gauntlet or heck a shin pad to give it a bit of height and structural cushion for your arms. Still like the buckles. Oh, and it would look cool, so there's that. Maybe when this advance prototype is further along, you can make the blades more Baterang like. Thank you, and keep up the good work

[@CrashMakerspace]

@@Kethra430 I hope the algorithm hears your plea 😂 thanks dude! Well I mention it at the end of this video; but I already created a super small chip that sits in my palm that detects hand gestures for this! My Hand Gesture V2 video shows it and I’m pretty happy how robust it is for its size :)

[@Kethra430]

@@CrashMakerspace snap I missed that. Very cool!

[@UserFriendlyArtist]

Honestly amazing stuff dude, i don't build stuff in any capacity so i really am not qualified to ask these sorta things, but i imagine that you would want some kind of hard armour where the swords/knifes that you catch would get stuck so they dont dig into your skin? again, no qualifications in building whatsoever, so i very possibly, even likely am wrong, either way, awesome stuff dude, genuinely, cant wait to see more!

[@CrashMakerspace]

@@UserFriendlyArtist totally! Not sure if you saw some of my sketches and models for the armor I showed here; that might help with this Q in the video!

[@UserFriendlyArtist]

@@CrashMakerspace I looked over some of the sketches and the model but still don't see a way to block the blade other than having to drive your arm back to wedge a sword on the gauntlet blades, I'm thinking of a situation where the gauntlet user is using a cross block of sorts, to try and catch the sword to imobilze the weapon, but again, i'm not a builder, i don't model, nor do i know anything about hand to hand weaponry. (this could be a case of me being braindead and not fully understanding what you mean lol)

[@ArtwithAmarBrisco]

It would be even more cool to have the release to happen based on the hand or glove. Which then allows the user to release the blades via a fist and close when the hands are open or vice versa. Also it would be cool if this device could allow for shorter or longer blades with the same makeup.

[@CrashMakerspace]

@@ArtwithAmarBrisco if you see the end of the vid you’ll see the solenoid driven gesture system! My V2 feature chip video also goes over how this does not trip with a fist or other non intended gestures

[@djeikgregoire5530]

that really cool , but even if i print them in metal arent they going to break if i stab or even catch a blade ? for cosplay that cool , but in real life i feel like this could break at any time . what do you think ? Should other part than the blade should be made out of metal to not break ? I’m thinking maybe with a cnc it would work , love your video it’s really helping me with my suit

[@drdca8263]

Has anyone tested these against a (blunt) “blade” to test how well it works for catching blades? That would be cool to see I think. Of course, I imagine for theoretical “actual use” one would want the blades to not be plastic? But, my main question is really, if using these to catch a blade, would these prevent the blade from hitting your arm by continuing between the blades? I guess the idea is that this would be worn in conjunction with other armor also on the forearm’s which would defend against that? Or maybe that wouldn’t actually be a risk? I don’t know

[@CrashMakerspace]

So I'd love to make these with Metal but due to costs I'm not currently able to get them cut & milled from that. But these should work well for catching em but you'd definitely want a gauntlet under em so it doesn't hit your arm still
