  30.  @mattmarzula  POWERED armor is functionally fantasy for now, not for technical reasons but for practicality ones. Range, cost, and deployability. What would allow for many of the benefits (increased load bearing capability for packs, weapons & ammo loads, ballistic/blast/incendiary/CBRN & environmental protection) as well as added mobility is not powered at all. *Torsion powered* Coil springs at joints and elastic posture-return tendons over long skeleton axis in full body frames. A full body spring-tensioned orthopedic frame ready to hang armor, gear, and load. All the way from down by the ankles of boots up to a semi-gimbaled neck ring for heavy helmet and night-vision systems. Simply put, it does the bulk of standing & upright lift/return for you. It eats the force of gravity while loading up the stored force, allowing you to effectively pump-track run or maintain posture effortlessly. There's no power required but gravity and the mass of the soldier and his burden to apply load-up to the spring and bungee system, waiting to be quite literally bounced back for returned momentum. And it would protect and absorb during impacts from things like a 5 point landing, overextention of the normal range of human motion, falls, rolled ankles, vehicle roll overs and impacts. Dumb, basic mechanical clockwork that alleviates what the human body struggles to support. And it would be a helluva lot cheaper and more practical in the field to replace a polymer-coated, thin metal thigh frame and a couple coil springs and bungee cords that don't get tired than pricey, short-ranged electric servos and batteries. And it wouldn't even be remotely as heavy. Take a good look at things like Motorcross knee & neck braces, and picture them full body with sprung architecture
