Do you despair that you cant lift up a car every time one parks in front of your house?
Does it get on your nut when you want to throw your best friend out the window but dont have enough strength to pick him up? Well despair no more because you can have a Muscle Suit!

This Muscle Suit is being developed by Tokyo's University of Science to aid poor humans who dont have the strength of a horse in the industrial field.
The actual suit only weighs 3 Kilos but if you want to wear this you also need to carry around an air compressor and regulator...

In before Space Marines and extra-terrestrial battles. Or perhaps, for more civil purposes, I hope this can lift a couch or something.

By the time you get used to the suit you'd have grown the muscles you would have needed in the first place. heheheh

useful for when idiotic drivers don't stop at roundabouts - just get out and smash your fist through the hood for massive damage :)

:O OMG! That is sooo cool!

It was only yesterdday when me and my friends were having a Gundam and in egenral giant robo conversation and we were discussion how cool it would be to have a robo suit...preferably a giant one...but i could settle for a normal size one...and that there....is the first step!!!

If it was a modded a little, then a set of leg strengtheners applied, then you get a helmet, you could have your very own mecha suit...how amazingly cool would that be?!

Oooh, i am having another gundam and giant robo hyper sessions, i must go and watch some gundam clips!

Strength-enhancing armor... This sounds really nice (It would be very good in terms of therapeutic usage), though one phrase comes into my mind while looking at this:

"Science is not evil. It's the possible usage of it that is" (or something like that)

I guess it's Descartes who said "Science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme" (Science without conscience only ruins the soul)

interesting. With the right armor research, Japan would probably be able to roll out some infantry powered armor before the feddies (americans, in reference to their federal system). really cool.

Now if only I can send them my armor research...?
