American Military Developing Real Life Iron Man Suit.

By -


Tampa, Florida -- A real-life Iron Man suit is in the works for American soldiers, and the U.S. military is designing it right now, right down the street, at MacDill Air Force Base.
Supporters say because of this suit, more soldiers will survive and Tampa Bay will thrive.
When you watch the concept video created for SOCOM, the U.S. Special Operations Command in Tampa, it's hard to believe this is real.
But there are more than two dozen people at MacDill working on the project, pushing the limits to design this suit.
Even the Defense Department calls it the "Iron Man suit," but it does have an official military acronym: TALOS, short for Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit.
When it's ready to be strapped to an American fighter, TALOS will have full-body armor, a helmet with sensors and displays, and a motorized skeleton to carry heavy loads.
It's designed to let an elite soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine -- the "special operators" overseen by Special Operations Command -- seek out targets with a display while protecting his limbs, and taking the immense weight of gear right off his back.
Current body armor often protects just 20 percent of a special operations fighter, and members of these elite teams like Navy SEALs and Green Berets typically carry more than 90 pounds of gear into combat.
There are companies really building this. This video from Revision Military shows a real prototype in action.
"This is actually happening. This is not a myth," said Rich McClain, head of the Tampa Bay Defense Alliance, which supports the military here in Tampa Bay.
McClain told me this suit, straight out of the movies, will boost Tampa Bay's tech industry and help keep MacDill safe from downsizing and recessions.
"I think as we progress and we see forward, we'll see this come full-scale and Tampa will be the hub for the TALOS, or the 'Iron Man suit.'"
In the next several weeks, an Iron Man suit may be on display right here in Tampa.
A worldwide conference is coming to the Tampa Convention Center in May, hosting the leaders of the most elite military forces from all of our allies.
At these conferences, organizers sometimes put on demonstrations of technology for the public, out in the open. If they do, there's a good chance this suit will be the star.
The first working TALOS prototype is expected to be delivered to SOCOM at MacDill by 2018.

INDIA WON’T SUPPRESS TEWARI’S FREE ENERGY GENERATOR.

India considers its own free energy program a matter of national pride, and is very much willing to risk antagonizing Petrodollar countries with its support on Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) invented by its own Paramahamsa Tewari, an electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. Years ago, Tewari had also proven the theories inside Bruce de Palma’s homopolar engine which first exposed this writer to the world of free energy technologies. Obviously, a country cannot implement its own free energy program without considering all possible consequence including a military response from Petrodollar countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UK, US. That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal that is imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy the Russians. The BRICS alliance has in the past promised to rele

Google Earth discovers stone gates in Saudi Arabia: Precursor to more mysterious civilization?

Saudi Arabia is widely considered a barren desert in the ancient ages, but a new discovery hints that the country was home to various archeological sites in the past which are yet to be discovered. A study conducted with the help of Google Earth has discovered ancient giant stone gates in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the remnants of an ancient civilization. With the help of Google Earth imagery, scientists have discovered more than 400 stone gates which were not documented before in the country. David Kennedy, the researcher at the University of Western Australia said that these stone structures will not be visible at the ground level, but once we move up a few hundred feets, these stone gates stand out beautifully lined up. He added that the gates will be visible in satellite images too. "I refer to them as Gates because when you view them from above they look like a simple field gate lying flat, two upright posts on the sides, connected by one or more long bars," said

In a move that once again proves   its commitment to renewable energy , China has begun construction on its first large-scale commercial solar plant out in the sun-dreched expanse of the Gobi Desert. Called Delingha, the colossal facility will spread out across 25 km² (6,300 acres) of vacant land in the country's Qinghai province, and will feature six huge solar towers hooked up to an array of solar mirrors. When complete, the plant will have a capacity of 200 megawatts, which means it will be able to supply electricity to 1 million households in Qinghai year-round. "Its designed heat storage is 15 hours, thus, it can guarantee stable, continual power generation," Qinghai Solar-Thermal Power Group board chair, Wu Longyi,   told the press . The facility is the first solar plant to be run as a commercial entity, and   according to Svati Kirsten Narula at Quartz , it’s being jointly developed by BrightSource Energy, based in Oakland, California, and the Shanghai El
