  • Nothing is more iconic than Master Chief in his Olive Drab Green MJOLNIR armor. It's what makes the Chief, Chief, and it's what gave him the ability to take down the Covenant, the Flood, and even the Banished. But is that some thing we can actually build today? Join me this week as we explore how MJOLNIR is described in Halo, what we have that's comparable today, and how we might be able to make a set of armor today!

    I am gonna make a gripe, just because I found it funny. NOT BECAUSE THIS IS BAD MIND YOU!
    But when he starts off with "Nothing is more iconic in Halo than the armour Master Chief wears" and shows us the least iconic armour that he has ever worn.
    I just found it a lil funny.
    Outside of this, the fact you really went that in depth with the lore, to real life comparisons and what we could do to improve or match what is shown is always fascinating. Keep it up!

      this actually isn't the case, plasma shields need a constant magnetic field in order to work, said magnetic field will act as a pseudo-lattice structure that gives the plasma mechanical properties (this is something that has already been demonstrated in plasma experiments). many physicists think that developing plasma shields are a pre-requisite for inter-stellar colonisation due to the damage a ship without one would take from the ISM

    Depending on the factors such as angle of attack, if you get slowed down on the way, the time it took to completely stop, the surface your hitting, and the gel layer, yes, you could survive falling from space. I mean, chief did survive a fall from 2 kilometers and it is very possible to survive that, even without being a super soldier and/or the mjolnir suit. People have survived falls from higher than 2 kilometers in the air. You'd definitely be rattled up and you won't just walk that off but it's doable.

      Yea originally it was to prevent caveman from getting killed by primitive tools and weapons even rocks using wood and hide as armor, then we learned metal working so we had to add onto or straight up replaced the wood and hide with metal, then guns became a thing and it took like 900 years to actually make real protection (still using metal but alloyed steel) agains a projectile moving 100x faster than an arrow, but as early as the late 60s we finally created real ballistic protection using Kevlar fiber, and today we use a type of ceramic

    I must say though the armor itself being roughly 1,000 pounds is a bit much because if it's titanium and even at its max it only comes out as 200 pounds. Plus if it's 1,000 pounds it would sink into sand and if spartans climb ladders that''ll shatter the bars due to that amount of weight. I dunno that's what concerns me. Not only that but I wonder the kinetic force it can handle because say what you will but the biggest issue with armor is that while it will block the penetration of a bullet, it can't stop the kenetic force of it. That's why, even with modern body armor + SAPI plates, if you get shot in the chest, you will have broken ribs. The only real thing I can see them using is non-Newtonian foam layers solidify instantaneously upon impact. This can create a larger, rigid surface area that absorbs much of the energy which in turn decreases energy transfer to the body.

The bullet it's using is an armor piercing round that's 14.5 x 114 mm and 64 grams, which is enough to puncture the armor, since it's the energy and equivalent of 38 standard 5.56 rounds.

    the point on the ceramic armor. I am almost certain we phased that armor out like a decade ago. We have armor that's able to withstand upclose rifle shots again and again with tight groupings. You might wanna check that yourself as I just simply remember hearing about. Than seeing videos of people doing exactly the latter in recent years.
    The "over reliance" on titanium and saying it's not very good in reacting to damage is not very sound. I mean first off creating alloys would just simpy render this point moot. Unless, titanium as an alloy is just particular not as useful. However, the human forces in halo have advanced particular high enough that they are able to form alloys on the molecular level. So they're centuries ahead of us on this stuff. The covenant? Dude they're mileniams and mileniams ahead of the unsc on that alone. You need to check out installation00 on that. I don't remember what they do exactly, but what they do is just simply way beyond.

    • @TheBigCabezon
      @TheBigCabezon  Рік тому

      Couple things, I wasn't saying titanium is bad, but that for it to be good as armor, it needs to be mixed in. Pure metal withstands bullets but leads to Spalding (frag from the destroyed bullet redirecting into your face). Again, it's not that Titanium is bad, but to make it super effective you'd want to layer it. As for Ceramics, not sure where you heard that. Everyone very much still uses them, I have a stack of E-SAPIs in my closet right now.

    I had weird thoughts I don't think fusion reactors are necessary to make the armor work. I was watching a video on the hydrogen engine, concept and my thoughts what if some one made it small enough to fit in person back, it isn't directly connected to armors through mechanical means but it generates the energy for armor to function. And even if not possible you can have one of the military trucks they have with the troops to connect to armors to power them or resupply the hydrogen fuel, it might or might not be better than the halo but it could be do-able. But add the ability to eject the hydrogen container, if you need to emergency remove it or if ignite is too much while the container still attached has special vents to allow it to jet the access ignited hydrogen.
