All jokes aside. This is beyond impressive. This man has shown that the basic shape and joint functions of Fallout power armor can be created. And this is just a prototype before the real thing is made. Which will be made of solid metal and dens rubber. It will operate on dense liquid hydraulics or magnetic servos to move the the joints as fast as a human can move. Only real challenge is the power source. The most powerful portable batteries created today are used for electric cars. Which are WAY to big and bulky and still don't hold enough juice to make power armor lift weight or run. But hey, Every year professionals robot builders are getting closer to making Fallout tech real. You just wait for it.

So the average fallout person has long arms? Or are yours just really short? No offense of course, still a fascinating project.

[@ray16120]

patriotic halo 13 hi In the game the arms are longer, however since i’m operating them with my real arms they had to be scaled accordingly. I found that many changes had to be made for this to work in the real work. Many of the opening mechanics as shown in the game simply wouldn’t work if they were built to scale. Chek my build pics at ray16120@instagram

[@ray16120]

patriotic halo 13 hi A couple reasons- In the game the hands on the suit are robot hands not the operator. When i tried templates for that design in the beginning i found the lower half of the arm ended up around 28” long and looked way out of proportion with the upper arm pieces. Also had to trim a considerable amount off of upper arm pieces at joints to get even basic movement. Short version is what you see in the game is a skin- looks great and the opening animations are sweet, but needs alot of modifying to work in the real world.

[@PeelosopherBananaCrates]

The power armor has mechanically controlled hands it seems. The power armor’s hands you see in game, in fallout 4 for example, are not gloves, per say. They are mechanical controlled hands, and the power armor’s operator’s actual hands are in the wrists of the power armor.

assuming your still working on this project in 2024, do what you will with it it’s a awesome project but if i were you i would attach some sort of gauntlet design that extends the arms with wires running through each finger leading to a trigger(like one you’d see on a wood stapler that you squeeze). so when you squeeze it, all fingers close like a fist. that way your arm length won’t look not proportionate to the rest of the suit and you’ll still have the ability to hold onto any prop you build too! again tho that’s just my two bits and either way i love what you got

Power armor is pretty useless ngl. It is heavy, consumes alot of power and makes you a bigger target. Exoskeletons are what you're looking for. This frame is basically an exoskeleton.

[@Subjectivity13]

They can already make it. They just can't power it. No power supply is small enough and strong enough. The Talos armor project is the closest thing, and it would be a huge advantage to be bulletproof against small arms fire, but they need a battery that could power it for several hours, at least.

[@killman369547]

We nearly all the technology we need to start building real power armor suits. The only thing holding people back from doing it is the power source. In order to power a suit like that you would need something like a fusion core to power it for any significant length of time. Problem with that is if the fusion core ever gets damaged.... like if it gets shot for example. It might explode, and as we know with any battery the size of it's explosion is directly coupled to how much energy the battery contains. It would probably explode with enough power to vaporize the armor and anyone wearing it.

[@EatFuckingTimothy]

@@killman369547 fusion is almost impossible to manufacture into a small container like we saw. Scientist still dont know how to control it. If scientists ever find out how to put fusion into small cylinders, the fusion core would be worth millions.

No this is just demonstrating, plastic, screws and a few basic motors can make the suit open from behind (which we already knew could be done especially with plastic). I'd like to see him try and make any of this out of something heavier. The power consumption will grow drastically and the complexity would definitely need to increase as more motors would be required as you would now need assisted walking.

With more mechanical and electrical parts such as hydraulics and various other pieces of tech, along with using more reinforced materials such as steel, tungsten, or titanium, you may have yourself some power armor. The only thing I can think of to disguise the power supply if you used big batteries such as car batteries would be the older looking models of the Gatling laser which is seen used in Fallout 3 and if I recall, in New Vegas as well. Where there is a fusion backpack connected to the Gatling laser. Or make your own batteries to fit under and inside the armor itself. the idea of small fusion reactors or fusion batteries would be far in the future, such a thing would not be possible today unless we have a huge leap in technological development and research. That aside, good job with the armor so far.
