War suits
Right about now I'm realizing that most of my interesting information about technologies comes from an internet source. I have to point out also that most of the most interesting talks on new, innovative tech comes from this website. (TED Talks) Onto my subject, War suits. The "War Suit" is just a term i came up with dedicated to America because multiple countries are starting to gain interest in this idea, but we are the only country, that i know of, who modeled a prototype after the video game Halo Master Chief's armor. Again, only a prototype, a drawing, a figment of a drawers imagination. The suit we have developed so far is far from the Master Chief, in fact it is pretty much the opposite. If your interested in seeing it; (Go Here!) This form of robotics has many applications such as Artificial limb's, restoring mobility to the handicap, etc. If you were interested in watching the link, "Go Here" make sure to watch it from beginning to end. I was just exploring it again for a bit and currently Lockheed Martin has produced a portable version of this suit named HULC. (HULC promo video) The Japanese also have a cute wittle version of ours, it looks like they put neon lights in a bendable plastic suit, of course that's just my opinion. The exoskeleton suits seem to be the way of the near future for foot soldiers everywhere, even Russia has one, or so they say, you never know what mind games those Russians are playing. I don't even think they have their own youtube video yet, psshtTT! If the Russians did create a working exoskeleton its proally made from recycled bike frames and pre-World War II swing sets. Enough joking about how America has the best exoskeleton in the world, It is.
