An armor workshop with a power bill
Fit all four assemblies, then run the test.
Fit the open suit and compare mechanical work, electrical demand and cooling.
Original comic-inspired teaching rig; numerical specifications below are illustrative assumptions, not measured or canonical superhero specifications. Compact source and propulsion are fictional. Lift at 0.2 m/s with 0.6 m moment arm, 70% efficiency and 2000 Nm joint capacity. Flight requests 8 kW mechanical power. Thirty-second warming uses 15 kg × 900 J/(kg·K); steady cooling is a separate limit.
Lift while keeping joint torque, source demand and waste heat within their limits.
Fit the armor, actuators, source and cooling loop, then lift a load.
