Something else that I need to add to the to-do list - add neon LEDs shining through from underneath the armor. Probably should be able to pick them up from Akiba. Also need to mod my helmet so that the lens can slide down to de-steam the helmet. Forgot that I need to add speakers under the chest plate too which I would attach a voice changer and iPod to. Original text from gordon below.So today I was at my senior's house and one of his many collections inside his armoury is this ultra cool Stormtrooper helmet installed with blue neon LED. It doesn't warm up so no worries about the heat. ^^;

I hope the batteries won't warm up after a while ^^;

if they run on those small round batteries( those used in digimon) it wouldn't head up i guess.Gorgon plz wear it to SOY(A)!!

don't think those round batteries will last long. this uses nine-volt battery as u can see on the left of the helmet.

9V?? It looks like a regular AA 1.5V battery to me...
(ID #443020) Posted on 2009/01/10 22:15
looks like a rectangular 9V here...

a picture from the outside would give a better idea of the result

Yeah, I'd really like to see a picture from the outside of the helmet too.

what are the blue led lights for? I mean wouldn't it hamper your vision rather than help?
(ID #443138) Posted on 2009/01/11 00:12
That's what i was thinking, also people could see your eyes better.

Use some sort of knob on the sides of the helmet (the ears) so you can slide the eye glass up and down. Also do your armor up my installing blue neon on your boots or chest and add some hydraulics while your at it ^^;
(ID #443161) Posted on 2009/01/11 00:35

I'd think it would be the opposite. Much like how at night you look outside from a lighted room, you less well than if you turned the lights off.

That is cool. Good luck working on it.

Why would you need some lighting's inside a helmet?

The neons might not heat up, but wouldn't it be difficult to see with a set of lights right above your eyes?
(ID #443269) Posted on 2009/01/11 02:26
You should also add a Rocket-Booster to your Trooperarmor, Danny. Or add some parts (Ears and tail) from a Bunny-dress. Other People will enjoy this ;-)

LED light exposure is apparently good for the skin according to some german researchers. Something you might be interested in, considering your gripes about acne/badskin.

I think the de-steamer function would be the most useful. Anyone who's been in a non-porous costume for any length of time (I got "volunteered" to be the school mascot during a football game in college - thought I was going to die from the heat ^^;;) would appreciate that.

wouldn't it hurt your eyes if you put those bright LEDs inside the dark helmet environment? oh, Danny, about modding your lens so it could slide down to de-fog...how about doing what motorcycle helmets do and add open-able vents around the mouth piece area? They also have ones above the visor, but that wouldn't look too good with a trooper helmet, maybe do it on the grey areas beside the eye peice too.
(ID #443502) Posted on 2009/01/11 08:35

The storm trooper Modification that you should be working on is the streaming jets of electricity which project out of both gloves and go 3 to 4 feet outwards from the gloves. Blue or blue and red colors to make it look like the Dark Jeddi Force would be good. /Grin.

There are anti-fog liquid sprays that you can get for swimming goggles and airsoft goggles I don't exactly know how it works, but my cousin in HK plays airsoft very seriously and since he wears glasses, he seems to always carry a small bottle around everywhere with him. I bought a bottle for use on my swimming goggles and they work pretty well You can definitely use it on regular glasses as it really helps in the winter when eating hot steamy food

You should be able to pick up some good ultra bright LED kits that are easily modifiable to run off 12v DC battery at Don Quixote. Look in the car section - they have a number of different sets with multiple LEDs running off a single multicore. They sound like exacty what you're looking for.

great idea stickinf LED's in the helmet, but i wouldnt use it too long though. also i think you can create a cavity on the inside of the chest plate and put the ipod there with a plastic window with an opening to access the scroll wheel on the ipod.
