Thank you very much, this is just helping me wonders! And that's a great steel leg, even though it is unfinished as you said, it's impressive! Of course that's for a medieval type-suit, it looks impressive.. Now that you're telling me about aluminum, I think I'll definitely go with steel and in...

Thanks! This was a great answer, just did some research on what you mentioned above. But what do you mean by "prohibitive" ? I didn't know it is "illegal" to build something such as a superhero suit (Iron Man) on my own blacksmith shop.. Since I count with everything I need here, literally...

Well maybe the reason they could run and jump with those suits on is cause they weighted around 100 lbs total. That's not a lot of weight when distributed all around your body.

I just want to be able to move relatively freely once wearing the suit. As free as if I wasn't wearing it if possible. It won't be a cheap project I know, that's why I need to be as careful and as perfect as possible with the first one (aluminum).

That's true indeed, there shouldn't be any kind of delay if the sensors are well calibrated and of course the "linkages" should be powerful. I was just with the wonder that if there was any kind of delay on the movements, the suit would have been worthless. Regardless of the experience and...

That's exactly what I was thinking and talked with my dad, he said something similar. There's not need to have one central system to trigger everything. And as you said, rechargeable batteries can solve any fuel issues as well.. I saw a lot of exoskeletons this days but this one gave me a...

Great, every single answer has helped a lot on this thread, I'm finally coming up to conclusions on how to "power-up" the suit, how to create motion once wearing it. How to be able to do simple tasks such as walk freely, move my arms freely as well (up/down/side/front), how to lift my knee 90º...

Thank you! It's good to know that, I'll give a closer look to that info and what can I take out of it. Even if it's not that much energy generated by the heat of my body, it might generate enough power to support any small mechanism inside the suit.. This will be the greatest thing I build...

Thanks man. I'll take a very close look to those things you mentioned at first. And of course I'll need some sort of miniaturized internal combustion engine, strapped either to the back of the suit or the chest (which is another are of the suite where I can hide whatever engine I need to hide...

Thanks you. Any idea that comes up will be tremendously appreciated. Every single one. I'll investigate more about Stirling Engines and see how that might or might not help to power the suit.

Thanks! You're right when saying the suit must be as light as possible, but keep in mind that even though, if the suit weights 190-200 lbs in total, there won't be any time where I'm lifting that much weight. Those 200 lbs are lifted by the suit itself. Engines or whatever power source (or...

Thanks! And it's not a hijack at all.. I know that the control problem is really a problem, since that something I'm seeking to fix onthe suit. I'll investigate about that Dynamic stuff you're talking about, I might study the mechanisms. I've been putting a lot of time and effort to this project...

Thanks for your answer man, I was actually thinking only in using the pulley mechanism on flexion, not extension. Once I flex the forearm I will let gravity do its work for the extension. I'm assuming I will lift my arm and extend it freely, depending on how strong the rewind wire rope is of...

That's pretty much what I'm trying to do (in a way). The main idea is to make everything or at least almost everything without any kind of "powered" engine, I mean, I'm trying to use as much basic physics as possible to get the suit into motion once wearing it. For example, imagine a rewind...
