I bought an Exoskeleton to wield Giant Anime Swords

This video is sponsored by Private Internet Access in case you thought all YouTubers are millionaires. I have qualified for and received every stimulus check Uncle Sam has sent out to date. Do you think Mark Romer received a stimulus check? No, I received a stimulus. Check it out because the apartment I live in is made of three percent asbestos, so how is Allen Pan going to stimulate the economy? Well, the meme answer would be to buy a guillotine and leave it in front of Jeff Bezos' house, but of all the ways to decapitate people. I think a guillotine is actually one of the most boring, which is why I'm going to spend my money on an

anime

horse decapitating sword.

The

giant

anime

swords

are probably based on the real life Chinese anti-cavalry horse decapitating

swords

called medal of the sun. Wait, that doesn't sound right at all, I think it's more like Naomi, can you help me? Thanks Naomi, in fiction these swords can get really, really, really ridiculously big, but somehow no one in these shows, video games, and movies has a problem swinging them. them, this is my friend rob the welder rob, can you make me something anime? Basically I just told rob to google Buster Sword and make a generic version of that if you want to watch the full build video which I linked to rob's channel in the description of course just so we can make a sword

giant

anime sword in real life doesn't mean anyone can swing a giant anime sword in real life it's all about the face yeah yeah yeah the legs right it's in the legs your legs are what it holds. the sword, how much does it feel?, weighs like a couple hundred pounds, so how much does my giant sword weigh?

Well, Alan Pan's Failed Buster Sword, as I've named it, weighs 50 pounds, which is a little heavy, but also not incredibly heavy, these guys look like a sticker. Two seats. Maybe I can do it. Most of you watching this video can probably lift 50 pounds with no problem and these guys look like they should be able to lift it too. What do you mean you can? You're not picking it up, you're holding it, come on, but they can't, so what's going on here? I can lift this 35 pound kettlebell pretty easily, but I do move it to the side even a few inches and try to pick it up when it is. displaced from my wrist it quickly becomes impossible to lift this displaced weight creates a rotational force on my wrist called torque the center of mass of the failed allen pan buster sword is three feet from the end of the handle, meaning that in this position With the pivot point at the end of the handle, the sword generates 150 foot-pounds of torque or, in other words, the same amount of rotational force that a typical automobile engine produces.

The trick here is to move the pivot point as close to the center of gravity as possible. and then you just push the sword up with your other hand and you can pick it up that way and then you don't actually swing it, you just do a controlled fall like this. You see this technique used a lot on giant sword channels like michael cthulhu and he has an awesome channel, he makes really cool weapons, but it's not as satisfying to watch a guy pick up a weight and drop it. I want to use my sword like a sword.

There was a movie. that came out in 2014 was called Edge of Tomorrow and that title was very bland and non-descriptive, but this movie was an adaptation of a Japanese manga called all you need is kill, which is a better title, I think it is indisputable proof of that marketers don't I don't actually know what they're doing Emily Blunt here has a powered

exoskeleton

and that's what actually gives her the strength and torque she needs to be able to

wield

her giant anime sword and you know, I'm a big fan of Emily. blunt, so I'm just going to copy it.

This is an amazing movie and unfortunately it's also one that I can't watch here in the US and that's why this video is sponsored by private internet access, literally that's the reason I just wanted to watch this. Movie Private Internet Access is the leading no-logs secure VPN provider with over 30 million downloads. It has more than 20,000 VPN servers in more than 70 countries around the world. It is available for all operating systems. One subscription covers up to 10 devices at a time. It's really easy to use first, you click on this and then you type what country you want to be from.

I'm going to say Sweden because I'm a big fan of Simon Yacht and then you click on this and now my computer is in Sweden and I can watch. The edge of tomorrow pretends that my face is your IP address and you don't want the bank over there to know your IP address, so I put on this horse head mask so I have a different IP address now if you're watching this right now. It means you can get three months free and then two years later for only $259 a month if you go to the link in the description, so I spent the rest of my stimulus money on this steadicam

exoskeleton

, this might be one of the best. things I've

bought

before and it only cost me nine 900.

Seriously, although it's actually a really good price for these, I

bought

them used, so it's already had quite a bit of mileage and it's also like a cheap Chinese knockoff of these . Camera stabilizing exoskeletons are designed to offset the weight of a heavy camera so that the camera operator can move it as if it were much lighter, while active exoskeletons require a power source for pistons, motors or other actuators. . This exoskeleton is completely passive, there is no power. supply because the force is provided by springs, the only drawback is that if you don't have anything weighing your arms, they're actually stuck here like this, so this will be part of a two-pronged approach, one hopefully being the suit. is going to be able to compensate for the weight of the sword itself and two, we are going to have to create some type of support for the handle of the sword on the wrist that has like a torsion spring or something to compensate for all that torque when the sword is moves. horizontal first the first thing I have to do is strengthen this suit, it doesn't come with specifications of its manual or anything, but from what I can tell, it was designed to be used with cameras that weigh between 20 and 30 pounds, so I'm going to put hardware additional mounting. to the suit so you can add more springs more springs means more tension means more counterforce means more weight of the sword is canceled bada bing bada boom boom boom boom notice how strange it is if you get rid of the dust it modifies The suit definitely has a little more tension now if you remember these are my lead helmet cans they weigh 35 pounds each oh wow and I want to see if it's actually easier to lift them with this suit and it already feels like that. it's really meaningful whoa so much easier we can compare this to when I first put this on oh it's really hard yeah yeah yeah and I can actually hold them like this this is kind of wild like I can throw a bunch of hulk and I'm holding my fist in front to me this is really cool take this environment yeah oh oh uh I think I think my arms broke this whole can still stands up but this can't this alone is much harder is there anything loose? it's good if something broke yeah it looks like the quick connect quick connect in this case means this stupid little spring tension pin and that's literally the only thing holding the arms to the back plate.

This suit is made entirely of aluminum which is like butter of structural metals and you can see here where the pin came out of its mating hole so I'm replacing that stupid pin with a through bolt but the fact is that this suit just wasn't designed to handle this kind of mechanical stress, we designed this articulated wrist support like a Marky Marks football kicker, uh, driven by a spring, and that was what was going to offset the torque. generated by the sword, but after this test, I'm convinced that the suit simply wouldn't be able to handle it, so instead of trying something smarter, I'll try something stupider.

I'm doing this in the stupidest way I can think of, so we have this bungee cord here, this is going to go right to the center. of the gravity of the sword we're not going to have to deal with leverage or torque I just want to be an anime protagonist now here's the part I'm not entirely sure about because now I have to try it and you've already tried it. Of course not, oh, I think the vectors here are really weird, but I'll try to see if I can. It worked. I mean, it looked sloppy. This is very sloppy, but it totally works.

The suit itself takes care of the shape of the sword. and as soon as I hold it horizontally the bungie should take care of the rest so I should be able to hold it. Oh, this is like the Cloud Destroying Sword Stance and I can even lower it completely if I want to shoot. no problem oh my god oh god it's okay my center of gravity this whole system changes drastically when I swing this is very scary now this is a move I think it would be very difficult to do without the suit here we go three two one it's still very difficult but definitely not something I can do without it.

I have the power of God and the enemy on my side. Wow, the sword in this Demolition Ranch clip weighs 120 pounds, which is a lot, but the guy trying to swing it is Robert Obers, who is literally a Strongman Competition Winner, here he is lifting 465 pounds just above his head, but even this guy can't lift a giant sword upright let alone swing it properly, I mean look at him, he looks like a giant guy, you're going to die. I want to compare myself and my exoskeleton to a legitimately strong guy, so I searched Instagram in Thailand for the biggest guy I could get.

This is for a joke in the video. No, I'm not touching you just to touch you. Okay, I'm here with Chase Lee. Do you ever have to worry about peeing because you're afraid of ripping your dick off with great power? Oh my god, are you serious? You did it without lifting it directly. Can. Pick it up too, you know, I get three, two, one, oh my God, that was almost as good as this. Pump it a few times in the air. Okay, but I can do that. Could do it. Leave it alone. Turn it off. I can do it.

That's pretty good, which one do you want, yeah, kill the tree, Allen, kill the tree. Look, I can do the exact same things Chase can do. I'm just waiting for you to throw up right now, according to the backyard scientists. Alan Pan said what a coconut it is. a very good representation of a human sculpture, that means it must be true. he broke the table of a table because I didn't think we were going to break the table, man, I don't know if I can hit it. I got it, oh I messed up, wait the same, it's a sword to decapitate a horse, so we have to test it on a real horse like this.

Well, it works. The myth confirmed that you really can't decapitate a horse with a sword that was almost half. Ass experiment you've done so clearly in this case, Braun beats brains, but hey, I can always try to improve the suit later and there's also the question: How many hours do you spend a week in the gym? Two, three hours a day, that's like 14. feet like 20 23 hours a week in the gym you probably know how many hours a week I spent in the gym zero
