with this device you can carry enough ammo lol

 

when loaded with 170lbs it feels like carrying 5 pounds

 

More than 40 sensors and hydraulic mechanisms calculate how to distribute weight just like the nervous system.

 

These help minimize the load for the wearer.

I was just reading about this system in Popular Science today. They were also showing off other exoskeletons that are in development. Its insane to see things like this actually work in real life, not just in fiction.

wow that is insane, that would help the military alot.

Ive seen quite a few of these all with their own unique little twist on how to do it right.

 

Im curious what it would be like to actually use one of those

That's pretty cool.

Wonder how long that would last in a harsh environment, like the desert or tropics. Not long I'd guess.

i have seen the one for arms pretty cool also

so if your 3 hours out your pretty much screwed?

Anyone ever read Battletech books? It reminds me of the baby steps of an Elemental Battlesuit.

Then you fall - then you get shot.

lol

 

well maybe they could put a solar cell helmet on him that would give him a few more minutes

Almost need one of those for all the school books i have to carry around...

that would be pretty awesome to have, you could probably carry around a M134
