Article about a power suit designed to help nurses carry patients. It seems to have very limited mobility, with just a few joints, but what I find interesting is the way it monitors the muscles of the wearer to figure out how much force to apply. I think it'll be a while before I'm placing an order for my Gouga suit, though.

The US Army is developing a power suit for thier urban combat troops. it's supposed to let them pick up cars. or punch through walls.

I wonder what the power source would be (for the army suit)? All I can think of is some sort of combustion engine, perhaps hydrogen.

My question is, when will they start carrying buster rifles, beam sabers, and heat scythes? And I want the Gundanium plated model! Neotitanium just won't cut it.
