So I’ve been looking at medical research and engineering for awhile. and interestingly enough tech has been coming out closer to some of the tech found in these games i.e darpa and elon musk having produced neural interfaces. i myself find more enjoyment in armor construction as a hobby and am curious about what materials you guys think would work well without melting easily or crushing a person wearing a standard motion powered exoskeleton. if anyone has ideas they think would be interesting i would be more than willing to do what research i can. I’m interested just to learn and like seeing others learn too.
- Carbon fiber - Titanium - Aluminum Think what goes in to the Lamborghini seso elimento. It is almost all carbon fiber and the entier car only weights 999 kilograms with a v10 and that is no feet to be overlooked.
I completely agree with Cstriker01. I would add Magnesium, Fiberglass and ABS (a type of rigid plastic) to the list. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
If I might throw some advice from one armorer to another, I have two suggestions.
- Look at the racing and flying industries. it’s all about lightweight and power in both.
2)Look at the part or piece you are working on. Each part has a different roll to fill. That Lambo has steel parts in it, because they need the strength. It also has fabric, leather, foam and glass depending on what is needed from the material. So look at mixing materials depending on strength, look and function. but to get what is usually a 4000 lb car down to 2200 is, in deed, quite a feat.

Forgot fibreglass. Note it smells bad but can be relatively easy to work with (if you know what you are doing). Steel does seam to be unavoidable in cars dosnt it.

Yes it sure does, usually because of it’s properties. And I guess that was my original point. The properties should determine the use of the material, And not just the physical properties, but things like ease of working with and cost too. I forgot to mention that, thank you for reminding me Cstriker01.
no problem! guess i have learned something. you definitely seam to know what you are doing when it comes to this.
