Electronics Oh God, What have I gotten myself into?

That thing's bolted to the ground! It's connected to the grid too. When I see it patrolling Iraq I'll give it my approval.


-And they should have built Zeta Gundam. It looks cooler.

I'm guessing Ryan found either girls or weed... or both.

 

I think he discovered the latter just before starting this thread

 

Hey Guys. I have not killed myself, found girls nor weed. I'm just working. I have detained myself from writing much because, well, not much is completed. The "Power plant" is about 21% complete. and ill give you a hint- its a thermoelectric generator powered by hydrogen.

 

well if he puts the power source in his crotch when it over heats and seriously burns him when he goes to the hospital for emergency surgery the doctors could tape the operation and name it "saving ryan's private's"

/I'll get my coat.

 

He´s alive, oh god.....
Good to see you keep doing some job, maybe tony stark I was thinking that he kidnapped you.

Keep on going man.

 

darwin awards nomination?

 

Look harder!

 

considering what he is trying to build his nomination has probably already been written out and just tacked to an awaiting notification wall somewhere.

 

No, just committed. Lot harder to do research there.

 

Not meaning to be offensive, but I'm sure you know that the military have been trying (and achieving) to make exoskeletons, but only for parts of the body, and not really for jumping over buildings and flying around...we're quite not at the Iron Man level of perfomance !

And they're not using just scrap.

 

Remember: The guy who invented the hydrogen fuel cell died mysteriously... If you come up with a cheap, portable fuel replacement, the energy industry will break both your legs!

 

oh they'll do more than that... lol

take a look into this. Though it wont be NEARLY enough to power flight for the suit a small version might very well be used to power the many of its components if you make it that far.

again mate, you may be quite ambitious but i say go for it!

 

How's this project coming along? Thread seems pretty dead ;/.

 

Gee, I wonder why...

 

amazing thread, i lol'd.

please, make a youtube video dairy of your daily findings and progress.

im curious.

 

Don't worry, It isn't dead. I just don't have a Hollywood-type artist/designer here to speed things along, and I don't have that kind of artistic aptitude or the millions of dollars needed for one, Money is exchanged for time. Don't Worry, it WILL come.

 

What's an artistic design got to do with anything....prototypes aren't supposed to be flashy colourful artistic or stylish.... nothings ever coming out this thread.

 

Seriously, not even a CAD drawing by now?

On a related note, I have 5 micro servos I need to drive. When they're all moving they consume ~1.5A. A year ago I built a small 1A breadboard power supply because I though that's all I'd ever need (and I had the parts). I shudder to think how you'd power this creation!

 

Hamster wheel generator!!!!!

 

I do happen to have some CADs, but they're PEP files.... And Im learning how to work with that.
