Don't know if anyone's read/ heard about this, but in Japan (full respect for this) they've developed a powered exo-skeleton to enhance someone's strength. At the moment it's just a load of wire, steel tubing and fibre bundles, but once the American cowboy engineers buy a set and bolt on a load of Kevlar and steel, and an orange/gold visor, HEY-HEY! Real-life MJOLNIR! The guys who made it say it's intended for assisting care-workers in lifting disabled people into and out of chairs/baths, that kind of thing (noble task), but, seriously, how long before western military boffins turn it into power armour? Pretty cool, huh?
By the way, i read about this about a year ago, so i don't know if there've been any developments. Does anyone know anything else about this?
Ok, try this link, i'll have a look for some more. This is an american project, but it sounds similar. C LICK HERE
AND ANOTHER
