Inventor creates exoskeleton body armor, hopes to sell to military
January 17th - 102 Responses


Trojan

Canadian inventor Troy Hurtubise is famous for his protection suit for hunters, known as the bear-suit. After hearing from Iraq war veterans about adapting the suit for combat use, Hurtubise shifted focus. Hoping to attract the Canadian and US military as clients, Hurtubise has invented a light-weight exoskeleton body suit of armor, which resists bullets, light explosives, knives and clubs. Called the Trojan, the suit could prove to be a welcome edition to the future of military warfare. The inventor was also quick to give credit to Microsoft’s amazing action shooter, Halo, as one of his inspirations in designing the Trojan. Be sure to check the video interview with Hurtubise for more information.

    i’m a freshman at daleville high school. i need one of these suits so the seniors won’t be able to beat on me anymore. besides, when the teacher catches me masturbating under my desk, i can just tell her i was checking my new crotch clock.

    thanks Canadian inventor Troy Hurtubise!

    ps – the moral of this story: canadians aren’t as bad as i thought they were.
    pss – alternate ending: canadians have WAY too much time to do nothing but design shit for B-movies.

    too bad he went broke and had to sell it
    if he made it more like master chiefs suit maybe the army would’ve bought it lol
    I wish I could hug him for him being all sad and such that they didnt buy it

    Bungie should employ him to make MC suits for Halo superfanboys then charge 700 bucks a pop for them. At the very least Troy should be working in SFX making cool prop full body suits.

    yea, well not a bad start…but…you guys notice how rugged it is? that lucky bullet shot from that lucky gun from that lucky “bad guy” would find its way through…not saying its not bulletproof…just saying he needs to make it “if he still had it” more rhythmic… :) best of luck to him too

    that suit is awesome, its a hell of a lot better than anything else the military has right now, some one said a lucky shot from a sniper could take him down, with the amor they are wearing right now u dont need a lucky shot, just a head shot, bullets go right throught thier helmets, they should have manufactured this suit, or at least a few of them and tested them out or something

    It looks kind of bulky…. but other than that this would be extremely cool and save a lot of lives but of course the US military does not care and a solders life is not worth the money to produce thousands of these.. witch is why i refuse to join any branch of the military…corrupt bastards!!

    he should try to make it look like the ODST battle armor now that would be sick and more realistic

I also have a weblog and am really trying to transform around the theme, however I’m scared to death to mess with it for concern of the major search engines punishing me. I am extremely new to doing this …so i am simply not optimistic just how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here

    This is getting a little bit more subjective, but I much favour the Zune Marketplace. The interface is decorative, has much more sparkle, and some great features such as ‘Mixview’ that let you rapidly see related cds, songs, or other users associated to what you’re playing. Clicking on 1 of them will center on that item, and one more set of “friends” will come into view, permitting you to navigate around exploring by related performers, tunes, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” can be great fun, letting you discover other people with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist produced depending on an combinations of what all your buddies are playing, which can be enjoyable. Individuals worried with privacy will probably be relieved to learn you can stop the public from seeing your personal listening habits should you so choose.

    Paper crafts are extremely popular for a while now. Most children begin making paper crafts in school. The teachers typically start the kid out with quite simple paper crafting projects. This usually involves giving the kid a number of color choices and as well many shapes of building paper to work with. Most teachers usually give the kid several tips to begin with, but each child is encouraged to show their own creativity on their crafting paper project.This type of arts and crafts can even be very stimulating for parents. Many, use the paper crafting material for arrangements, by placing them in a gift basket or even utilizing them as gift wrap. While some utilize them for an American preferred pastime called scrap booking.Making a scrapbook can be extremely fun if you let your imagination run crazy! This type of paper crafting is quite simple to perform simply because you don’t have to stick to a particular pattern. The main idea behind keeping the scrapbook may be to keep a journal of your life or things that you like and present them in the arts and crafts form.
