  • When Adam Savage challenges himself to create a real-life titanium Iron Man suit that can actually fly, he uses the GRAVITY jet-suit platform invented by Richard Browning to make this dream a reality. But can Adam learn how to fly like Iron Man in under one day?

    This needs to be added to a power-assist exoskeletal frame. More fuel can then be carried, plus you would have some assistance in maintaining position through arm strength augmentation. In short, it needs to be done as an Iron Man suit.

    • @formes2388
      @formes2388 Před 3 lety +8

      The problem you will run into is the same problem you get with rockets going to space: The more fuel you add, the more force you need to exert to takeoff which results in needing more fuel burned to release the energy to apply the force. Not only this but the power-assist exoskeleton frame also adds weight on it's own... which then requires a greater amount of force exerted which requires more fuel.
      Needless to say - you run into problems extremely quickly.

We invented agriculture and created the problem of soil depletion. Whether we were “ready” for it or not nuclear weapons would be possible and they were going to be made whether we wanted them or not, rather than trying to prevent the inevitable we simply agreed that nuclear weapons were too dangerous to use. It’s not about what technology we invent, anything that can be made will be and stopping that is a fruitless task. It’s solely about how we respond to those inventions.

    That tripod technique works really nicely as a visual effect. The hovering looks really controlled and super cool. Definitely has that super hero look. This definitely needs to be in super hero movies--even if only simulated. I hope the movie industry is paying attention to this.

    • @chrisliddiard725

      i was thinking if they just fixed that tripod, they could have a system to vary the thrust from those 3 jets. You could then have the software control that via a hand joystick with some form of auto correction built in, much like drones do it.

  • @coriscotupi

    This thing is like holding oneself off the ground by your arms, on sheer physical strength.
    It's absurd to expect that anyone (bar athletes) would be able to carry their weight like this and at the same time give precise control inputs to maintain a stable hover, let alone fly round. The jet engines should of course be linked to a pivoted structure that carried the pilot, who would then only need to direct their output direction. Relying on physical strength to fly is a silly proposition.
