POWER LOADER Q&A! - WE ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS

[@hexbox2182]

Glad to see this thing finally finished.

[@fiusionmaster3241]

Isn't everyone?

[@walkershirley140]

@@fiusionmaster3241 yea

[@thefirstamigo9310]

I agree

[@Wolfencreek]

You gotta build a second power loader in case the first ever gains sentience and rebels.

[@Acaykath]

Not to mention finding the answer to the age old question, "Can a power loader load a power loader?"

[@nicholastrawinski]

@@Acaykath how many power loaders could a power loader load if a power loader could load power loaders?

[@cyrus72707]

And a third one if that gains sentience….. and so on

[@Zelmel]

I'm shocked that they can get around three hours out of this thing. I guess I just had no idea how much fuel/efficiency the base Cat had.

[@blizzyrat4738]

There have been so many awesome hacksmith projects that i absolutely loved, but none of them come even anywhere close to the powerloader! But when you started talking about being interested in building the avatar mech, i started to hope that maybe some day you'll have something similar to car collectors, an entire garage filled with different mechs standing next to each other like some special exhibit.

[@c4rots620]

2:20 plus we can use our muscles to resist gravity without actually bending any joints whereas a machine can only put up resistance by bending joints and relies purely on weight distribution to stay upright.

[@Mr.Engine993]

In buses and some RC cars, the electric motors can resist movement by applying a small voltage in the opposite direction, and work like a brake, so it is possible

[@captain_coleton]

Next up..... We looked at options for a truck to transport it and couldn't find anything that checked all the boxes, so we are building our own.

[@ajayvishal440]

From the successful completion of the power loader, you guys have set your limits right on the skies. So you should be able to undertake even more bigger projects like some half scale S.H.E.L.D Helicarriers.

[@tanishqsethi2127]

Thanks for picking my question

[@ShonicBurn]

This video is just hacksmith saying hey! Hollywood! FUND OUR MECHS FOR MOVIES!

[@drache3370]

My brain at minute 16:40 WAIT...... ANOTHER???????

[@detgoat]

luvd this-- watched them all in 1 big marathon

[@hollowedge8307]

You gotta make a second power Lord on using pneumatics and an electrolyser because then you don't need to worry about a compressor and I can just be filled with water instead of gas

[@GrimmLeoricShadow909]

15:15 bruh, the moment where the Rainbow Six Siege meme when right over his head, and the reaction is just priceless XD.

[@ProtoHadron]

15:29 Bogdan: Oh. *shuts down*

[@henrylezaich5215]

I love how he talks about standing for 8h a day. For my job i literally get to sit down for 30min of my 8h work day

[@versus-7087]

Nice to get some more technical details

[@falconboy3609]

Wow so cool

[@paikhombanameirakpam9386]

When are you making the batmobile ?? 🥺

[@fiusionmaster3241]

Good question

[@benjaminmayer6152]

Awesome questions and answers. Love this project!

[@LunaKiko]

what about building a shield for the pilot . something that protects the driver -attached too the frame ?

[@AndrewJamesStep]

More mech's in the future? Has the term "ED209" been thrown around yet?

[@fiusionmaster3241]

Good question

[@Kaitlyn24992]

You could make a bunch of stickers of the power loader

[@theHacksmithVLOGS]

we've got a sticker sheet for sale at hacksmith.store/ - Power Loader included!

[@a.s.j.g6229]

Next project need to be the mech than can be mass produced 5:00

[@thomasdevogel4088]

Can it be used in construction or the military

[@reaper814]

It is so satisfing to see this thin completetd

[@KimboFPV]

Is this where i line up to test drive the Power Loader ?????

[@0lexy_the_cutie024]

can u build a mech from pacfic rim or one similar in design

[@Jaydenfok]

assemble an army of forklifts to fight against the power loader

[@Grady_Oconnell]

Hearing the question answered Can we get mech that feasibly could be mass produced?

[@manbanasiak]

1. You need to build a VR world first for having some volunteers to help you with some projects. Even with internet contdol. 2. To make more real life power loaders, you need some industrial machines even on the industrial robots. 3. Will you make a Halo can movie? 4. Which is next on the Halo project, MA-5 or the master chief hud?

[@Strongest._.Avenger.]

Hard work 😘💜💜💜

[@asemalgably9852]

is it bulletproof

[@Megs2022]

more mechs yay!!!

[@choosetruth_ROG]

More mechs? Yes pls 👌

[@logiebogie4737]

You should try saundering with it

[@ArtSurvivesArtist]

Power loader aside, would it be possible to make a similar, legged mech with electro magnets in its feet to make it more bottom heavy? That hammer is basically unliftable.

[@z3rotollranc3]

Any thoughts on scale models? Maybe R/C?

[@jack_brooks]

The ultimate white elephant gift.😄

[@skylarkelchner9996]

My wife and I were thinking if you could take out the engine and use electric motors and batteries. And in the future, if you make a new one, could you use electricity.

[@CM1_SonicAndOtherStuff]

😆

[@Zelmel]

Imagine how many miles of paperwork there would be for the insurance to get Sigourney Weaver into that thing.

[@augustolantermino3485]

Imagine beeing the insurance company

[@gavinwalker536]

I already posted this idea on one of your previous videos, but I'm just gonna say it again, the robot guy(Jeff) from the new movie finch with tom Hanks. I think he would be a pretty fun project 😄

[@kellenmorford]

OGA, ok

[@sidious1529]

I had this idea for a huge project that may be more complex and more expensive than the power loader, general grievous’s one wheel car from revenge of the sith. Just thought that it would be a cool challenge to build.

[@Dubber89]

Do love all your builds, have you ever thought of try to build green goblins flying bored?

[@AndrewJamesStep]

I've been so curious how development on the Gadet Copter is going. Especially now that the power loader is done.

[@hellothere6627]

How might you pick it up if it falls over Forklift army? Crane!

[@kevinclover1875]

Honestly I always thought the power loader had magnetic feet for spaceship metal floors, anchoring it to the floor

[@theHacksmithVLOGS]

yeah but where would we find a 2" thick metal floor?

[@kevinclover1875]

Multiple layers of offset sheet metal bolted together maybe?

[@manlyastronaut6984]

ridley scott is currently working on an alien series. You may be able to get it featured on it 👀

[@therocketpropelledturtle192]

In regards to moving it, I don’t think you would need to get a a full blown roll back flatbed to move it (as well as a CDL to drive it). Call the Power Loader itself 11k lbs and a trailer actually heavy enough to move it 4k lbs, you’re looking at 15k which is within the towing capacity for most 3/4 ton (F250/2500) trucks, and definitely within what 1 ton trucks can do.

[@umeshdudhrejiya617]

it's about drive it's about power

[@fiusionmaster3241]

Yes

[@chadrobke9676]

Maybe engineer an over the top trailer for the power loader

[@daffam.847]

Two words: "mini rc" like a 1/10 or 1/16 model, maybe even a mini James inside it.

[@fkhg1]

now an full size at-at would be a thing :-D

[@JK-ub3vf]

Man says avatar mech and I'm now invested

[@autotactic]

why make the elbow joints so thin?

[@waterboy181]

You really need to take that thing to a trade show in partnership wit Cat. It would be very cool to have Segourey Weaver take it for a drive.

[@waterboy181]

And I posted my comment before watching the whole video… oops

[@cyprus1840]

Now u have powerloader. So what next step is mechs from matrix?

[@jasparanthony1893]

You guys should make a suit of metal power armour using springs and shocks to hold up the limbs

[@zniszczupl]

One more and proppably the most important question: can it run Doom 1993 ?

[@moltencakemoltencake6039]

Regarding the gripper-removal-problem: Can't you just weld the screws to the gripper-side, so you don't have to reach there with a wrench to loosen the nuts?

[@Shadow0K]

is the powerloader water proof like can you drive it when it rains

[@joemama3499]

Have you seen the hips on the Avatar Mech. If you do build it, the hips will give you hell.

[@ThugByChoice]

You may be able to solve the top heavy issue with a gyro.

[@robbeebe1470]

If y’all were to go about building another power loader, but without the constraints of movie realism. What would it look like coming from an engineering standpoint. Form follows function

[@Odiethejeep]

Hello from BC.... have you ever considered doing Battle Bots or Robot wars?

[@tylerrinek8624]

Did the caterpillar guys get to play with it?

[@nadiaplaysgames2550]

As some other commenters said before come and get some professionals such as lumberjacks search and rescue oil drillers military Logistics workers have a shot at the anything for really that has to deal with odd shaped that is extremely heavy or extreme environments

[@jackwriter1908]

I needed five minutes to realise that James was actually sitting on something and not just floating in the air.

[@owensparks5013]

Sounds like if you want interchangable arms then you'll need a power loader to fit them...

[@jonathanparker8636]

Would you able to create the semi truck in Mad max?

[@fat_biker]

Also, rather than making attachments you have to swap out for the grippers, make the attachments in the form of tools it can pick up with its grippers & use. A set of fork lift forks on a frame that the power loader picks up by sliding its grippers into twin box sections would work just as well as forks you have to switch out with the grippers, & you lose the flexibility of being able to switch from attachment to attachment swiftly & easily...

[@theodorechurchill4020]

Use it for a unbreakable box

[@skuffy4930]

I think you got confused. We weren't asking if YOU would mass produce it, we were asking if CAT would.

[@theHacksmithVLOGS]

They definitely would not

[@jaym5602]

Should talk to diesel brothers about making a truck for you

[@heartofdawnlight]

Mech battles....... How many battlebots could it fend off at once!!!!?

[@Mohammedmoin5969]

Me just waiting to see my question which was Is it legal to use the great power loader outside the building In your main channel you have driven it outside for refueling and buying a coffee But it is not clear

[@lelendkeith4897]

If it’s stuff dropping on the legs is so dangerous then just extend the roll cage…tho not lore accurate I feel you could still make it look cool

[@asalamon13]

Build the mech from fallout four

[@EnderL80085]

When he saidneck fights I got the sudden idea in the future they’re going to give the plans of the power loader to other engineering KZbin channels and they have a calab where they have a meck fightand it become so popular other KZbinrs do it And it becomes a sport

[@coolbosplayz5318]

What happen to the cyber truck

[@theHacksmithVLOGS]

we still have it! We keep it out of the way to make space for other projects

[@DoctorVadarWho]

You should make it look like it is walking

[@theHacksmithVLOGS]

1:15 ;)

[@dylansadventures4696]

get a f250 and a tilt deck trailer.

[@yazgaroth]

twelve what an hour ?

[@ImTheCrepe]

Ask Cameron and Weaver in twitter or so, maybe they'll respond

[@pjistuff828]

I would love to see the mech from avatar

[@hellothere6627]

Poweloader vs half cyber truck tug a war

[@fierarialuiandrei8851]

I know i'm late but, do you think that CAT would make this comercial and how much would cost?

[@Randomguy13137]

TitanFall titans when?

[@larshaas2658]

[@Jkauppa]

electric with gasoline generator, only wires

[@Jkauppa]

loan it for purposes

[@Jkauppa]

electric screw that

[@Jkauppa]

that vr control perception system

[@Jkauppa]

you have two forklifts in the hands, already

[@Jkauppa]

thats a matrix suite with the plugs

[@toamastar]

A N O T H E R M E C H

[@jasonedwin239]

[@fat_biker]

Hinged leg guards would make it much safer to use for real. Just saying.

[@BelldofersMatlack]

It’s just a forklift but instead of forks it’s arms

[@Squawkinator6514]

I wonder if Hot Wheels will release toy versions of this...

[@ridgetopgardenapiary9529]

Are you all going to go back to Iron man

[@tylouww.1915]

Can you please show the equivalent value of measurements that you're saying in imperial system in the metric system? It's a bit annoying always to google for example how much 3600 pounds are in kg

[@DomanStuff2022]

Ech... freedom units... useless...

[@hydealmen5280]

Go get dummy from the old workshop
