If a power armor is made in real life, I'm joining the Military.
Me too
Beatorama good luck trying out for the navy seals, they wouldn't just give it to anyone who joins
I’m working on it.
Beatorama yep
A civilian model that's basically a drastically remodeled version, could probably be used for construction and deconstruction, as well as firefighting one day perhaps.
TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!
As always, it's the power source that's the limitation. He McGuffined around it.
+Ryan Gunn You mean McGyvered?😂
He also lives in a magical universe. >_> Technology probably works entirely different when you have things like thor flying around in space with a hammer no one else in the universe can pick up.
thats a movie dumbass
Lol ... MatPat
"I'm not gonna explain the science. That's Austins Job, I just have an amazing voice"
aww, you flatter me! Thanks.
indeed
Amazing voice? You sick pervert
+Олег Егоров It's a quote from the video, you imbecile.

Something bad happened to you at school?
When 76 started I was in love with T-51 but after learning about the lore behind fallout and each power armor itself I love them all equally and have one of each
Fun fact, in lore, it has a laminate face that gives it resistance to any round under 12.7x99 FMJ, aka .50 BMG M33
My opinion
T-51 Power Armor looks the best
@@El.Gatito. X-02 Black Devil
@@El.Gatito. IDK T45 or T51 for me
I only have fallout 4 and Im in love with the X-01 power armor!
What mod gets you all that foliage?
200 years into a nuclear apocalypse, that's what the world should look like, not just ruins. Overgrown unchecked foliage.
I downloaded the same mod but I forgot the name because I haven’t played in a year
It would look exactly like The Last of Us, except, even more overgrown. Only place that wouldnt have any trees would be ground zero locations. And that would only spread for less than a mile. Life is extremely resilient, it dont give a fuck about a we bit of radiation.
@SomeGuyYT Wood/drywall buildings? Absolutely yes,. Brick/concrete buildings? definitely not.
but a little bit more brown, so much green in that wasteland looked kinda weird now
not everywhere tho
like in diamond city
Knowing America, you'd probably be able to buy a set or more for self-defense
flyingkoopa45 why not lol? No harm in owning some armor
flyingkoopa45
You never know. Business owners in cities affected by rioting would like some
probably
The .50 cal machine gun was made to be and still is the ultimate sword. Power armor would have to be able to stop full auto .50 rounds to become the ultimate shield.
So not sure if powered "armor" will really be seen on the battlefield.
The point is to stop small arms fire like ak 47s and other small weapons. so the power armor would be very effective until an invading force uses only .50s and other HMGs. Also if you listened to the storytellers power armor lore the defense is nice but the main reason is it allows a soldier to wield the biggest swords (ass you would phrase it) on the battlefield by himself. I would pesonally suggest a gau-19.
I'm going to get one power armor, get the pain train perk, run into a wall then break it and say OH YEAH!
Simply Dope 88 you can’t break walls, but it does work on sandbag barriers
Good enough
*O H Y E A H*
cant wait to see this in commercials
You need to disguise yourself as a jar with coolaid in it
I think the reason powered exoskeletons aren’t used in the military is because of the massive power demands. So if we could master cold fusion A LOT of Fallout could be made possible.
Power usage , production and field use are the main reasons we don't have irl power armor. We still have anti materiel rifles from ww2 that could easily mission kill a power armor frame , not to mention grenade launchers , shoulder mounted missiles (Javelins specifically), black tip 50 cars and of course IFVs with 25mm autocannons (?).
Though if we ever become a space faring species , power armor could be a game changer seeing as that ballistics and mobility in space are completely different
@@Braindamagedpotatopower armor doesn’t mean that tactics are thrown out the window and you just walk towards the enemy. Power armor would still be like putting a thousand pound weight on the scale of war, you would have troops who can carry extremely heavy weapons platforms, be resistant or immune to small arms fire, while also being agile enough to carry out strategic movements typical of infantry. you would effectively need to be hitting a large amount of infantry sized targets that are effectively using cover and bulldozing your strongpoints, all while advancing, with anti armor weapons.
No. We need Thorium nuclear fuel cell. A battery with serious power and very long life. About 180k years half life.
When a mole rat, ghoul or radscorpion can kill me in full T60 power.
I start to question the immersiveness of power armor.
To be fair it was designed to withstand a barrage of heavy fire not attacks from mutated animals
Austin should do the science behind power armor and or how much energy would you need to power something like it.
That was one of their more recent videos.
Spoiler alert: it's a fucking lot.
David Gonzalez he already done that
David Gonzalez Fuck Austin that anoyying loud shit !!!
It's probably weighs something like a mid-range car...so you probably wouldn't need much more power than what you'd need to operate a Tesla car.
Tesla's battery weights well over a thousand pounds by itself. It's also as wide and as long as the car. The advantage Fallout power armor has is fusion cores. Magic compact fusion reactors that can output power on unbelievable scales. IF you think fusion cores drain quick. Hooking a tesla battery to power armor might be enough to get yo down the street to the next closest red rocket to put it on the charger again.
Battery power is without a doubt the single largest problem we face with all our electric equipment. Be they cars, phones or giant suits of power armor.
Us armed forces creates real power armor
Todd Howard: see ya all in court
what ever happened to the guy who made a real life halo suit and was like "I'm going to test this against IEDs" and then stopped making videos lol?
uhh, nothing...
*shifts in front of the suit and the grave after forcing it off him and keeping it myself*
source?
@@Sonicbro-xx6sg none, i made it up
@@beybladesinmyheels1267 bruh, your not even the person they asked
ONO
Okay, gotta make a correction here: all three major forms of ionizing radiation are stopped by the equivalent of a few feet of dirt (or a quarter-inch of lead). And that's for gamma rays, which have the best penetration. The shelter you showed had three feet of dirt on top, and the rest is concrete - there ARE no "layers of steel" in it.
Power armor's radiation protection will therefore depend on how dense its plates are - which you can up-rate by modding at the power armor bench (with lead, natch). If not for the fact that any articulated suit is going to have some gaps which can't be as solidly covered - knee and elbow joints, neck, waist flex area - you'd prolly be able to stomp around in the Glowing Sea as long as you liked.
Or until a Deathclaw snuck up on ya.
I'll take Terminator armour over Power armour. Emperors blessing!
What's the worst part about cooking a vegetable?
Fitting the golden throne into an oven.
CheffBryan Exactly why Chaos is having such a hard time cooking me. Their hell fire just isn't hot enough!
Brian Jules Who the fuck are you? The Emperor isn't named Brian.
No, his name is Jeffery.
He's not the Emperor, he's a very naughty boy!
What about power? What does Fallout 4 power armor even use fusion cores for and what would be the real world equivalent?
I think Austin did something about fusion cores in a previous episode. Either way this is a fairly low-science more-research episode, powering stuff like that is Austin's department.
there is nothing, and thats its biggest drawback ignoring the whole itd kill you by using it thing
13 AA batteries
Battery
Tiny fusion reactors??
The polyethylene armor is armor panels, just like the ceramic or metal plates, that goes inside a vest.. made of an extreme long-fiber, like Kevlar (or one of the competitors like Spectra Shield)
The military has specified and formally researched powered armor since the 1960s. In the 1980s the project was called PITMAN. Future Force Warrior is just the latest version of it.
While not power armor, i'm surprised you didn't touched on the TALOS suit for robotic exoskeleton,
i mean it shares a new with a TES god there, also a greek myth but who cares about that ;)
The Lone Wanderer Yeah but Talos ;)
Also never fails, as soon as someone replies, i see the typos
I kind of expected him to bring up the HULC bodyframe.
Gerald Kamp Who cares about Greek myths? The World.
I hated it so much that they called it an "Iron Man" armor, when every details of the TALOS armor matches perfectly with the Halo armor MJLINOR (EVEN THE WORD BIOFOAM). It would be better to call it "Halo Armor" than "Iron Man Armor."
Halo is still popular though. When you hear "Halo Armor," you would easily identify it.
Ummm... I was expecting “Hi! It's me! Austin!” every time I watched Science series. Andrew you are doing a really good job with all the videos but English is not my main language I still have a little hard time listening to Scottish accent. Sorry...
This isn't a science video this is a completely different series done by Andrew.
The subtitles work.
i don't really like andrew's series idk
Echo Yin yeah
Americans draw out their words a lot more so its easier to translate at speed.
8:19 Wait a minute isn't this... Ok i googled this and can confirm it: This is indeed Clark Gregg (aka Agent Phil Coulson).
I saw Coulson in an exoskeleton. My Life is now complete. Excellent video btw., you guys always do a great job.
5:47-5:53
I died laughing...
wow only 7 7.62 rounds thats pretty low protection. power armor should be resistant to all small arms almost completely
Rainbow dashbro well in the lore they are walking tanks, but for obvious reasons you can't allow that in a game.
Yep, the common trope of Gameplay & Story Segregation does some pretty wierd things to games like Fallout.
Juggernautdemon there are 12.7 mm weapons in the game and explosives they could have made the armor much more resistant to weapons other than those
Comm243 Yeah like the fusion core nonsense. It was already established in the lore that the energy source of a power armor could power it for centuries, even millennia, but in Fallout 4 you sprint for a few seconds and your core is depleted. Its just typical Bethesda not following their own lore while trying to not make the game more of a walk in the park than it already is.
If you could tank every bullet ever and each fusion core did last that long there would be no reason not to wear power armour 24/7. Its the way it is because of game balance. The challenge of the game would be eliminated completely if that were the case.
8:25 was that agent coulson from agents of shield ??
I knew someone else would catch that! That's why I scrolled through the comments first. I was delighted to see that, along with the greenery from that mod. And I happen to enjoy Andrew's accent and Austin's science and cursing. Thinking about getting one of the T-shirts available only in October. Science. It IS F'ing terrifying. 😂
IT'S not sadly, it's just a government equipment tester, but I see the resemblance
well he needs the protection so he doesn't get stabbed in the back again
Legendary Deathclaw on Survival Difficulty.
*oops sorry for killing you, i didn't even noticed that power armor*
Legendary Deathclaw on Very Easy Difficulry
*Oh gosh ! Run everyone he has power armor!*
Survival is like a knife against a cookie tin lid. IE, I can stab through it with a kitchen knife.
In Fallout world: significant advances in power storage and delivery(fusion cores), robotics(advanced understanding of articulation and power systems), and some material sciences(computers and building still standing and working 200 years after the bombs fell).Also they have as of this date, 61 years ahead of us. Right now, we're catching up pretty rapidly.
In fallout universe digital technology is actually lack behind of us bcs the invented transistor much later compare to ours
the major difference between most of the real world armor and the power armor frame is that the PAF is self-supporting. it acts more like a vehicle that the wearer sits inside, while the darpa gear is attached to, and holding onto the wearer, being supported in part by them and in part by itself. because of this, the frame holds the weight of the armor better, being basically independant .
additionally, he completely skipped over the actual use of the power armor: sure, he talked about the lifting of heavier loads, but the real use of the armor was to be able to lift extremely heavy weaponry while having the mobility of an infantry unit (i.e. minigun, lighter forms of artillery) You are also right, in Fallout, power armor is a suit of armor that you step into kinda like an iron man style suit. it isn't an exoskeleton that is attached to the user, it is a powered vehicle that the user moves in.
So, ignoring the entire lore to focus only on game mechanics. Also, the player can take way more than 9 hits before their chest armor breaks.
Not really when you play on survival
He's not talking about player
Lore wise, the T51-B was practically bulletproof, which led to the Chinese being almost completely unable to suppress the American offensive
Lore is different from game:a protectron laser can rip off body parts if it hits an unprotected part of the body.
Lasers where insta kill to any one not using the military grade gear in earlier games so yeah,power armor is pretty dam strong even if it can't shrug off antimaterial rounds
Which brings me to a game mechanic that makes, in Austin's words, No God damned sense!
If power armor can shrug off bullets and lasers alike, how does a Stingwing manage to penetrate it with a stinger made of material weaker than bullets, and less velocity?
I'd just narrowly survived getting in a crossfire between Raiders and Super Mutants, my X-01 armor was mildly damaged, I'm looting corpses, and get mobbed by a swarm of stingwings and my health plummets *FAST* due to all the poison I'm being injected with *THROUGH* Mark V X-01 armor pieces.
9:30
A big difference though is total weight. The lifting attachments are fairly light so they can be worn and moved without too much issue. The power suit in fallout would way over 300 kilo's minimum and could easily be over 500. That is a lot of mass to accelerate to stop.
A lot of people say that “power armour was made to be tank like and give a bunch of protection” but it was really made to allow individual soldiers to carry heavy weapons. This makes me think about exoskeletons just with some armour slapped on.
T-51 is my favorite because of looks, and it was the first in the fallout game series.
9 AK bullets to destroy the chest plate considering how thick it looks is extremely weak.
In WW2 they tried using steel armor to protct against bullets. Its was a giant failure since they could pass right through, while creating sharp fragments from the armor entering into the bullet hole.
WW1 and it worked reasonably well
Was their no bell effect? I wouldn't know about modern to postmodern helmets, but pre-modern eras definitely struggled to use metal as a helmet due to it effectively being a bell placed on a soldier's head just wanting for a bonk.
In WWI body armor was mostly used to protect against fragments of metal from artillery shells not bullets though it probably saved a few from bullets.
It also weighed so much the man wearing it could barely move. It should also be noted that the Imperial German Army put forth the idea that if some sort of /powered frame/ could be devised, it could be wrapped in heavy armor and enable a soldier to bear heavy weapons while still being mobile. In World War 1.
I was expecting Austin and I was disappointed
If we could sort out the power consumption problem, I could see this happening.
Does anyone actually like the look of t-51?
I like that set of the best power armor you can find in glossy white
It looks badass in the original Fallouts isometric style, but in true 3D it looks a bit crappy.
T-51 is my favorite set. I think it looked best in New Vegas though. Even then, the Fallout 4 version still looks better than the T-45. That suit suffered the most when Fallout 4 made Power Armor fat-ish.
Blizzard Soldier I like t-51 because it's the armor overestimate in the least amount of crap. I personally don't like how cumbersome t-45 and t-60 look
Blizzard Soldier I do
With how much undeveloped tech in Area 51, and that it's 2020, we're probably closer than ever to IRL Power Armor.
All I'm saying is it better be ready for WW3, you know, in 2077. 😉
Trumpster you mean 2017😉
But Hillary didn't get elected
Trumpster Welp, America better get on with the power armour otherwise humanity won't survive that long. Better make the power armour better too.
Probably event sooner
based on LFTR reactors it is possible to reduce the power plant enough in size to power the suit, heat shielding would be the only need but based on the reactor design for the Cadillac thorium car one could use and adapt that same design to power the suit. power units of that type would further reduce the weight felt, could run an air filtration system, power reactive armor, and never run out of power.
Get austin to do a episode on power armor
ua-cam.com/video/sAJTe__5B24/v-deo.html
"Vital part of the gameplay"
Nah. *Drops a legendary deathclaw on hard with my 10mm*
I'd like to mention one of the biggest things I feel was overlooked: the fact that the individual inside the armor doesn't actually touch the ground. [S]He is on raised platforms if you look closely without leg armor on (so just the base power armor skeleton). This leads me to believe that the wearer would have a *much* higher weight carrying capacity. The arms work the same way as the foot placement does, with the user grabbing an inside (its like a thing you grab with your hand but I don't know of a single word that describes it). Anyway, I felt that was kind of a big hole that was overlooked, that's all.
I was looking into this a while back and the biggest set backs that I found were jointed movements, such as shoulders and hips because those are internalized movements where the suit would need to be external. Another one had something to do with spinal movements and flexibility as you somewhat mentioned. And the last and most important one is the Power source. You kind of glossed over the tethered suits, which is to say they work, but they need a type of power line connected to them. If I recall when I was looking it up they can only currently supply enough power for maybe 30-2hrs of untethered movement. But thats not counting all the weight and such brought on by armor plates that would be added. But, much like you I am really excited about the future prospects of such tech, even though it will almost certainly never be something citizens can get our hands on.
We will have technology on par with power armor by the 2070's at this rate.
Agree
My favorite out of all power armor is the X-02, it’s looks the best and the best stats.
"Guys I know I left you for civvy life and shrugged you off as I left after threatening going AWOL, but, I want to re-enlist"
The thickness of the plate on the power armor looks equal to that of AR 550 steel which has been known to take repeat and frequent abuse even from 50 BMG
We already have powered exosuits. they can't do everything that fallout's power armor can do, but the basics are all there.
Out of curiosity what mod was it that turned the Commonwealth into that verdent green forest? It is rather pretty.
Resurrection, I think.
His game looks like damn Jumanji.
Fenix . ..... the movie where 2 kids find a cursed board game that sends them and their home into space to deal with kinds of horrors?
Willinium Reese Not quite into space but close enough each move basically just causes something to happen in their area.
Right right! I've never intentionally sat down and watched the movie but I've seen so much of it over the summers that I remember many scenes now.
Gonna make one of these with Kevlar sheets and metal scraps powered by electric lawn mower batteries
The best power armor is probably a troop uniform/armor that also serves as a space suit and used in many things space related from spacewalks to boarding actions
It could also have a built in mic, night and thermal vision, some method to move in space, and a radar system that tracks things around you from small meteors to ships
You don't know enough about armor or small arms to make this video. AR500 Level 3+ armor can take 100s of shots from a 7.62x39 chambered arm and be nearly unaffected. Ceramic armor is/was only used for wieght savings as a full set of AR500 level 3+ armor (Front, back, sides, thighs and other small plates) would weigh 60 lbs and preclude the ability to carry any other needed gear. Power armor would avoid this entirely as it holds it own weight. Hell you can probably build the whole suit out of Class 4+ plates and not run into problems.
the problem isn't the suit its the floor, you'd sink. And what if i set you on fire in your suit of ar500 armour? or even shot you a shit load, the plate gets hot and cooked human for tea!
this comment should be wayyyyy up there
what mod you use to have datt beatifull green world on fallout 4?
it looks like Fallout resurrection, it was removed from the nexus but you can get it elsewhere
www.modsfallout4.com/resurrection-by-resurrectiondev/ Here you go
lol why was it removed?
I'm CIA thanks :3
Fr0st1989 Because Nexus has a policy about not using ported assets, and I think the mod used like a 2mb moss texture from another game
3:00
A big issue with kevlar as well is that it's flexible. Even if it stops the round it won't stop the force of impact. With pistols where the energy is fairly low this isn't a huge deal but rifles have a lot more power. Even if a kevlar vest stops the bullet it will still likely break ribs.
Depends. What vest, the target, and bullet?
Average versing .45 is going to be painful but not a rib pulverize by any means
The warrior web is out in the field in at least one form. A form that has existed for anywhere from a few decades to the dawn of human civilization depending on how stringent your definition is. Webbing, the straps that soldiers are often seen wearing, redistributes the load of items on it, allowing you to carry more for longer.
Fallout 4 power armour isn't realistic. For the amount of armour mounted on the chassis it should deflect most small to medium rifle-grade cartridges, and at a bare minimum stop a large rifle cartridge within. However, yes, even after a while it will still break. A lot slower with the small-to-medium cartridges and a lot faster with the large cartridges. I'm no armoursmith (yet) but I can deduce that much. I'll edit this when I have more updates, which will come with more information of different types.
What is the mod used to make it soooo much 'greener'?
resurrection
Noe R which was taken down for copyright issues
Pretty sure it's not resurrection. I believe it's regrowth, which is still on the nexus here www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9656/?
Remember that these suits are probably comprised of almost entirely oxide at this point. You can upgrade power armor to a staggering degree, and I'd liken mark X to their actual field performance during the war.
What power armor really brings to the table, as far as military employment, is that your soldiers to not only repel rounds and carry heavier loads, but also carry heavier weapons. That, I think, could turn the tide of a battle or a war if power armor is widely issued. At a 17:1 felt weight reduction, you could carry a Dillan minigun and enough ammo to make it practical to employ.
Why not Titanium plating? It's strong, but light.
+Whistling Maniac There's certain Titanium that is strong and can take a high amount of heat to melt, but it is light. My guess is that the reason they aren't used is because they are expensive. Now I'm not saying that it's super light, it's more along the lines of medium weight.
its too expensive, have you seen how much that shit costs?
Steel alloy would be better
Wait so.. Edge of Tomorrow could have very well been something that could really happen?
Harith Azmi Other than the deafening cannons and grenade launchers they us without ear-protection. Or the laws of Newtonian physics... (Firing all the guns would have a stupidly high amount of recoil)
Edge of Tomorrow, from what I've seen, seems to have one of the more realistic depictions of exoskeleton/power armor in recent media. Considering that we may have practical, mass-produced exoskeletons within the next few decades.
Church of Gingism does "E X O S K E L E T O N" ring any bells to you? Also, the characters in the film were wearing helmets, and come on, you really gonna complain about ear plugs?
Let's be honest here, its obviously advanced warefare
Harith Azmi Every military arms are trying to make that happends mate, because the potential of this machines are immense. Imagine if you give this to your combat engineers, the armoured coloumn would be practically unstoppable when those guys are literally able to jack the disabled tanks and put it back into action in the matter of minutes while shrugging off small arms fire.
In my future I plan on building a power armor, and I hope I can build one.
One thing you failed to mention was how the operator would see outside the suit. mini cameras are getting better all the time, but I think there will be a real need for the old 'mark one eyeball' through transparent mediums.
This being so, I think that a multi layered 'wafer' would be used as a viewing block for powered armor suits. Probably with a thick metal, or metal and composite face guard that could be retracted to enable the operator to see out through the viewing block.
The viewing block would combine the best anti-ballistic polymers, Shatter resistant Glass, and (this is actually a real thing) Transparent Aluminum. The largest piece of TA I've heard of was 4 by 6 inches, and 1 inch thick. The report I read on this development was over two decades ago, so the manufacturing process may allow larger sizes by now.
In any case, even a 4x6x1 inch slab, mated to the above materials, would be an effective 'view port' out of the armored suit, and still deflect or absorb all pistol rounds, and most rifle rounds (although, I still think a Barret .50 Cal would penetrate).
a relatively thick layer of 'anti-spalling' film would keep glass shards from impacting the operator's eyes, thus preventing blinding. Such is common these days as a film layer on Cel phones.
Just a few thoughts,
the Frank Gamer
i personally like Andrew over Austin but Austin does sciency stuff ;-;
This isn't a science video
The problem with power armor is the technology to build it is very expensive while the tech to destroy it is cheap, relatively speaking. I mean all it would take is a modern version of a AT rifle.
Yeah, and sniping a small armored infantry that was able to take cover, crouch, prone, and sneak away from your killzone while relatively resistant to most small arm fire is "easy".
Just like my CoD....
@@nukachungka113
I counter this with an IWS 2000 using DU core from 1000m. Boom, armor busted.
Fair enough. You'd need some spicy shit, and constant advancement...
also youd get heat stroke in hot areas of the world like iraq
The problem with Kevlar is even if it the projectile won't penetrate it, because Kevlar sheets does absorb the energy progressively, you would still feel the hammer-like punch to your tissues, which might not kill you, but surely would make you stuttered and bruised.
This was super fascinating! Well done
what mod is he using. is it on nexus?
Fallout resurrection Forrest edition I think
Glenndogamer35 looked a little bright for resurrection. That's why I was asking
I think it on nexus and Bethesda.net
Henry Roberts-Poyourow I'm using a basic grassland mod. But would like a overhaul as he has
Whatever the mod is, I've gotta download it. The only places that MIGHT lack vegetation would be impact zones (hence the glowing sea). Anywhere else would have became wild again. We have real world data to back this up.
3:00 You're one of the only big channels that I've seen that acknowledges Kevlar's disadvantages. Unlike MatPat's video on master chief armor that made me cringe.
Interesting is that Kevlar is able to glance and slow 7.62AK.
According to the Ammo Oracle, through 3A, 5.56 looks like .22LR.
imagine how sweaty it get while in the armor in hot areas in the world people would pass out from heat stroke
there is lining in power armor to make it more comfortable to use so maybe the radiation resistant fabric is part of the lining
check out revision military for some wacky stuff
Those guys are not even close to making power armor and there is so many flaws in their' "suit", the T.A.L.O.S. suit on the other hand is what really shows promise and it covers the entire body head to toe
have you seen the Virtus system.
I would love to use a real suit of power armor. I could retake Russia!
Kevlar is actually capable of taking rifle rounds depending on how tightly woven it is and how many layers you have to slow down the rounds. However kevlar is mixed with Boron Carbide. Which is that ceramic you are referring too. Which is capable of stopping high velocity rifle bullets. So modern body armor works fairly well for what it is designed for.
The beauty of polyethylene is that it can be used to make clear lenses for the helmet's eyes.
Where is the original science guy?
1. Not a science video.
2. That's Andrew.
3. This is one of Andrew's series along with hidden history.
4. Basically you've got the wrong series.
Fartface Shitlord You're clearly new to this channel
somewhat, yes
BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL
So... we could potentially have our own Ironman suits in the near future?
well, only if you are in the military. i doubt they would allow the sale of such suits to the general public. and "iron man' suits is a bit of a stretch. it'd be more like, "slightly more protective, and make you lift more stuff easier" suits
Beowulf1ca no, the iron man suit is physically impossible in a lot of ways. In general, even if we could make a suit that could perform actions like supersonic deceleration or shrugging off tank shelf, the g forces experienced by the user would absolutely turn them to goo on the inside.
I would join the military if they had Power Armor and plasma rifles.
I think if i had to choose, I'd take the real world's technology of 2077 rather than the fallout universe's.
Space Engineers? Or something else.
Edit: Duh, fallout.
The thing about power armor as showed on one of the video's made on this channel before, we would not get the shock absorption from a fall but other then that it will be capable of tons of other stuff mostly. Carbon Mesh made with Resin is also possible to be better in time. Its the same stuff they make many race cars of, and its on step down to the type of stuff they say will be used to build future spaceships and stations and other things. Able to take 56,000 per square inch and its very light, and it can stop bullets without issue, and it can take the effect of 200 mile an hour crashes and other stuff, and is often used to make the pods in indie cars just as its used for its body. The seams mostly have rubber or other stuff, that would help and would save space and be easy for someone to replace.
It's not really the bullets we're worried about in the future of warfare- it's the concussive blast from explosions that are REALLY, REALLY hard to armor against.
Using an "exclusive" T-60 power armor as an example to determine a damage treshhold, in a game, which makes power armor to be made out of paper and which makes "power armor" available to use to any frickin' raider (who yesterday only could hunt the molerats) is a bad idea. What a shame.
Also, if we start to talk about lore, then lore-wise T-60 and X-01 should not exist. Again, a shame that the author did not bother to research the earlier power armors. This video is not augmented.
X-01 is from FO2... and since Bethesda OWNS the lore, they can change it however they like, so if they say that T-60 makes sense lore-wise, it does.
T-60 I agree on, but isnt the X-01 just a rename of the Advanced Power Armour MK II? So isn't it consistant with lore?
Like it matters; none of the Fallout games take into account the Mk II Browning .50 cal, the most common munition round the world over. With all of the AFVs laying around in FO4, mounted .50's should exist in the game, and good luck surviving the first round of a crewserve weapon, when you can't last for more than a single clip from an AK-47.
Buuut it's a video game, can't expect reality to hold sway.
The browning .50 was in fallout tactics methinks

For power armour i feel taking a look at late Medieval armour and Tank armour is a wise thing to examine since in late medieval armour you see an involvement of spaced armour which evolved to become more ergonomic for the wearer improving the protection from projectiles mean while also allowing it to be used against melee weaponry as well it could of course also be used for non combat uses.
Determine a role though. PA would be heavy infantry, but...
Handguns, in general, are not a smaller caliber than rifles. The one used in your example , the 7.62 mm is a smaller caliber than the most commonly used handgun caliber, the 9mm.
My level IIIA AR500 armor has taken literally 90+ rounds of FMJ 7.62x54R and higher, dead on. I completely and utterly fail to understand why power armor couldn't be made of such a material.
Then again, this is a game/fantasy universe, so, meh.
He is basing it off of game mechanics...
Disliked purely because you don't address the power source at all. The power is the main bottleneck, until we get personal fusion cells.
Fletcher V personal fusion cells, or really good batteries. thats why i personally think powered exoskeletons will be around for a long time in non frontline roles before we ever see one in combat
Three nuclear fuels. Fission, fusion, and antimatter

It's worth noting that resistance-wise, an equivalent-rated steel plate does have longevity advantages over its ceramic counterpart. Namely, it's less likely to fracture upon impact, or suffer accidental damage. That said, they're generally heavier for the same level of protection, and they tend to "explode" the bullets that hit them, rather than catch them the way ceramic does. This causes shrapnel and spall to shatter outwards from the impact site as the bullet fragments. Not so much an issue for someone in fully-contained power armor, but potentially deadly for someone wearing it in a vest.

Off yourself. Please.
fuck.off.
why so much hate
Shockingly, quite a few people aren't huge fans of click baitey bullshit videos that don't actually contain any interesting material. Nor are they interested what one person has to say on what an entire business, as that is what most youtube channels run by multiple people function as, should do with their future, especially when that future is based on nothing more than "they sorta make similar content maybe".
it's cool to hate matpat atm. best to just ignore it and enjoy both channels
Can't stump the Trump
America first, first comment.

projecting much
William lauderdale Yes Sir!
Hello, I'm new to this channel and I absolutely love the content you create. I have always been a mega-fan of the Crysis series because it's just so badass. My favorite armor ever is the Nanosuit 2.0. I am utterly infatuated with the science behind the Nanosuit and I wish I could have a Nanosuit just as much as a lightsaber. I would absolutely appreciate it if you were to research the armor and see if it is technically possible to make a Nanosuit. Keep up the good work, Austin!
well to be honest, it would be a mechanized frame covered with armour plates, which would not stop radiation unless it was led lined, and would not work against lasers which would just heat the armour up, it would be a totally bullet proof armour suit, but the first issue would really be power sources
I only watch this channel because of Austin, Everything else is a waste of my time. Take Notes Shoddy Cast...
Austin is annoying and obnoxious so not really
do you even watch the "Storyteller" series?
The Unwanted One's dude ever heard of storyteller!?
well fuck you then
andrews voice makes me want to rip out my fucking ear drums
Something tells me they support Trump. Judging by the opening to this video
How'd you figure that?
xEl Gringo Loco
look at the beginning. When the narrator says, "Power armor, savior of America", Trump's face appears on the power armor
xEl Gringo Loco
crap, i can never tell sarcasm on a UA-cam comment
They are just making a joke.
Intergalactic Human Empire anyone who loves America and wants to live their own life without government controlling everything in your life like the democrats want then yes we support a true American Mr trump
The exoskeleton real-world counterpart reminds of the power-loader from the movie Aliens.
2:55 Kevlar is supposed to be used with ceramic plates to stop bullets-by itself it does very little.
we may have exoskeletons on deck, but do we have the mobile power supplies to make them work without a leash? i feel like we're probably still a way off from being able to pop fusion cores into the back of them.
Reasons Austin should've done this video:
He'd have remembered to look at Carbon Nanotubes. He'd also have had more meme and science in the video.
what is the mod you used for all of those trees and shit like that? it looks like it's a damn forest everywhere, and I love it.
pre war T51 is the best. It was designed to protect the wearer from literally any conciviable from of weaponry. In the WMD department the helmet and sealed environment will filter air making the wearer impervious to both gass and bio weapons. then as discussed in the video it also has the benefit of blocking radiation. as for conventional weapons it's thick ass metal plates for kinetic and special coating to be used to disperse energy weapons hitting it. It also looks awesome too
A exo skeleton is kinda power armor but with out the armor:you can carry heavy objects now its kind of like a robot like a power armor just with armor hooked on
I got from a UA-cam shorts video that power armour wasn't made for protection, mainly for being able to carry weapons too heavy for a human to regularly carry while having the mobility of an infantry unit.
The polyethylene armors suffer from issues with heat. OTOH, various firms are currently marketing AR500 plates out of what is essentially target steel capable of withstanding virtually unlimited hits from 7.62X39
Put on a Warrior Web suit...strap in to the XOS-1 exoskeleton...get yourself a fancy, badass helmet, and boom. Power armor.
