So I've been thinking about how I've seen a lot of people using straps to connect their armor pieces and to be honest I have no interest in doing that. I have an idea, and if anyone with knowledge in electrical engineering could answer some questions for me it would be greatly appreciated.
So here is the basic concept. Instead of using straps, I was thinking about creating a "grid", (if you will), inside of an under suit, (which has yet to be made), of wires and washers that would connect to batteries in the back armor piece. Also stored in the back piece would be a small series of tesla coils to up the voltage from the batteries. Now, in my head at least, this should create a series of extremely powerful electromagnets to which washers mounted inside each armor piece could connect to and not fall off. Much like wrapping a wire around a screwdriver and connected to a battery would create a magnetic screwdriver. This would potentially be far cheaper than buying a bunch of magnets and with the tesla coil upping the voltage it would be way more powerful.
So my questions are really , would this work? What flaws are there? About how long would it last connected to a 12 volt battery or say 10 AA batteries? Any kind of input would be spectacular.
