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.

Scientists working for the Air Force have created t-shirts and underwear that can be worn hygienically for weeks without having to be washed. By attaching nanoparticles to clothing fiber using microwaves, then binding special chemicals that repel water, oil and bacteria, scientists have created a protective coating on the clothing, forcing liquids to simply bead up and run off. Naturally the US military was behind the innovation, which could revolution the sports industry as well as the killing industry. The total cost for research and development came to around $20 million and is intended to protect soldiers in the future from biological weapon attacks, much like the attacks seen during Desert Storm, which actually killed more soldiers than accidents and friendly fire.
