tomomi1922 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I didn't read the entire thread but I gotta say .... Power Armor is very possible .... except 1 thing. In a few interviews with relevant people about how feasible Ironman suit is. They all came to 1 conclusion: power source. For Ironman to work the way he is, he must be wired to a power factory. There are many exo skeleton system (like in Japan they use in hospitals so nurses can carry their patients). And these suits can only be used for some 30 minutes before requiring to recharge. Even the consumer flying drones require use to charge 4-8 hours for some 15 minute flight time. So unless you figure out the power situation, power armor is as good as the power source. I would love to have my smart phone go 1 month before needing to charge too. But Fallout universe has about 1 thing (2 if you count Memory Den) that is way more advanced than our reality: energy source. They are all behind us in everything else, even they got to live up to 2077 when everything went to hell. At 2016 now we have everything way more advanced than Fallout can ever dreamed of even they get to advance another 200 years without the great war. That is, except that fusion core. Smart phones last for months, cars can drive for months before needing to recharge. The explosion though is a huge draw back. Ever accidentally shot up a car in Starlight drive in? The whole entire parking lot went up as a huge fire ball when the chain explosion happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimbyGimby Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 No offense, but. Really? You are going to make real power armor using a 3d printer, all while relying on crowdfunding to do so?C'mon man. someone tell Idubbbz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrlis Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 OMG, so man people replying without reading to know what the devil they are talking about.Good job, man, I'll be keeping my eye out for the finished set. I won't expect it to balance itself, or actually block incoming fire, as it is just a proof of concept. I also won't expect you to be using high load machinery that saps power like the Ironman movie or its abandoned military counterpart. But hey, if you wanna make it have a Headlamp, or even throw up a fake (or actual) HUD overlay on the helmet visor, that's all Cool and the Gang, too. Keep your head up & your views high. You're going to have a difficult enough time translating the game's visuals into working components without continually explaining your intentions to people that can't be bothered to read what you're doing. Maybe they should watch a video or something instead of flapping their meat together. Sorry to go all AGRO, I just got a lot on my mind. The argument stands without my emotion, though, so I'm leaving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerrucktZeus Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I Guess I went a little barbaric with my PA frame. I foam casted individual pieces with aluminum and I have a nice crude but decent lock and gear system for movement, heavy as all hell but I have gotten myself used to the frame weight. But this thread has really caught my interest glad I'm not only one crazy enough to make an actual PA suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzerfong Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 As a biomed engineer, I cannot help but feel extremely cynical of what you're trying to achieve. Work hard to prove me wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipperken Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Why don't people use capacitators as batteries?I mean, they work the same way, but need far less loading time. Merely asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, its more advanced in many ways than us, I get what you were meaning but, you are forgetting lots of things. Currently beyond us: -Their AI levels, esp the true AI synths, but even some of the more basic bots.-Plasma weapons-the stuff you mentioned-Their cryo tech / pods- FEV-Laser weapons (That much power in small size without over heating, also power source but that is already covered. mainly the size to power ratio and not over heating)-many many more i am missing :) Also, the nuclear cars... youd think with how unstable they are in game, that the fallout apocalypse would have happened much sooner due to a massive car crash lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theiso88 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If I remember correctly, capacitators are not very effective storing large amounts of power compared to their size. The most intersting thing is that they charge fast and can store high voltage power, so they're mostly used to kickstart systems.For example a capacitator that makes a flashlight run about one hour is the size of a soda can. How about using a power source that relies on Fuel. Like a small Diesel Engine or Gas Turbine? Fuel engines have a better power to weight ratio and you can refill you power armor without a cable^^ I think they don't use them for Malitary Purposes because of the noise.
