I read a thread by Ithica about his very innovative method to power armor.
http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/30395-Method-to-power-amor...
I actually had an idea similar to this yesterday, but rather than an AI chip, it involves a Mark V helmet and a rangefinder mount. My idea was that the rangefinder mount would act as a removable with a power source, and that it would have have a positive and negative plug protruding. The helmet would have two plug-ins for the cathode and anode for the rangefinder.
If anyone here has ran gels before in biology, or used an electrophoresis gel box, it's the same concept. With a gel box, the lid has a cathode and anode plug and when you slide it on, the plugs enter the designated sockets and creates a closed circuit to allow electricity to flow.
My idea is similar. You slide the rangefinder mount (power source) onto the helmet, and it creates a closed circuit and now you have your electric installations powered up!
This could work with any kind of helmet and any kind of mount, but I would like to know what materials I would need to do this. Does anybody know? Preferably, the smaller the better.
Any feedback is appreciated.
