BECK When I was ░░░░░░░░ on the Iron Man ░░░░░░░░ Rogan What is the ░░░░░░░░ Man Project BECK It ░░░░░░░░ the Iron Man Project ░░░░░░░░ What does that mean ░░░░░░░░ So we re trying ░░░░░░░░ build the suit Rogan ░░░░░░░░ BECK We ve been ░░░░░░░░ on it for a ░░░░░░░░ time Rogan I didn ░░░░░░░░ know that BECK I ░░░░░░░░ on at the beginning ░░░░░░░░ the project it was ░░░░░░░░ Carnivore at first and ░░░░░░░░ few other names but ░░░░░░░░ the beginning it was ░░░░░░░░ a small handful of ░░░░░░░░ working Rogan What are ░░░░░░░░ using to make the ░░░░░░░░ suit out of BECK ░░░░░░░░ s changed so much ░░░░░░░░ now that it s ░░░░░░░░ kind of materials I ░░░░░░░░ titanium carbon fiber all ░░░░░░░░ top stuff Rogan And ░░░░░░░░ s supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ to fly BECK It ░░░░░░░░ gonna do a lot ░░░░░░░░ stuff Rogan Does it ░░░░░░░░ an exoskeleton so it ░░░░░░░░ stronger BECK It s ░░░░░░░░ yeah And it s ░░░░░░░░ stronger It can carry ░░░░░░░░ know a thousand pounds ░░░░░░░░ do a lot Rogan ░░░░░░░░ I ve seen that ░░░░░░░░ That stuff is wild ░░░░░░░░ So we re getting ░░░░░░░░ but if you think ░░░░░░░░ that kind of a ░░░░░░░░ an exoskeleton how are ░░░░░░░░ gonna move that exoskeleton ░░░░░░░░ people So if you ░░░░░░░░ a squad let s ░░░░░░░░ say you had 12 ░░░░░░░░ in those exoskeletons what ░░░░░░░░ are you going to ░░░░░░░░ What Humvees what vehicles ░░░░░░░░ are you going to ░░░░░░░░ these guys around what ░░░░░░░░ Rogan Right how heavy ░░░░░░░░ those things BECK It ░░░░░░░░ everything Rogan Right BECK ░░░░░░░░ re a thousand pounds ░░░░░░░░ re huge Rogan Jesus ░░░░░░░░ So you could only ░░░░░░░░ a couple of those ░░░░░░░░ a plane BECK Yeah ░░░░░░░░ four I don t ░░░░░░░░ But that s one ░░░░░░░░ the issues that we ░░░░░░░░ running into is the ░░░░░░░░ that if we start ░░░░░░░░ in this direction we ░░░░░░░░ going to exoskeleton we ░░░░░░░░ to change everything else ░░░░░░░░ That makes sense And ░░░░░░░░ what we re doing ░░░░░░░░ was like the long ░░░░░░░░ in the tent for ░░░░░░░░ you know and I ░░░░░░░░ on these think tanks ░░░░░░░░ I was always the ░░░░░░░░ I was a weird ░░░░░░░░ You already know that ░░░░░░░░ guess BECK Well I ░░░░░░░░ We d have to ░░░░░░░░ to that part Rogan ░░░░░░░░ was a techy fart ░░░░░░░░ I was very technical ░░░░░░░░ I was working a ░░░░░░░░ of the national laboratories ░░░░░░░░ all the places that ░░░░░░░░ built the Manhattan project ░░░░░░░░ still have all those ░░░░░░░░ all around And so ░░░░░░░░ still use them we ░░░░░░░░ with them and we ░░░░░░░░ to push the envelope ░░░░░░░░ military and civilian use ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ things that I was ░░░░░░░░ of innovator inventor of ░░░░░░░░ that s gone into ░░░░░░░░ civilian world And the ░░░░░░░░ Man Project was really ░░░░░░░░ Rogan And what are ░░░░░░░░ powering it with BECK ░░░░░░░░ s the problem was ░░░░░░░░ long pole in the ░░░░░░░░ I kept talking to ░░░░░░░░ and I was working ░░░░░░░░ all the national labs ░░░░░░░░ Northwest and all those ░░░░░░░░ and nuclear battery was ░░░░░░░░ much the only way ░░░░░░░░ could go So it ░░░░░░░░ be a it d ░░░░░░░░ a little battery about ░░░░░░░░ big Rogan Bro I ░░░░░░░░ t even like having ░░░░░░░░ cellphone in my pocket ░░░░░░░░ but we ve had ░░░░░░░░ little nuclear batteries since ░░░░░░░░ 50s so it s ░░░░░░░░ big deal Rogan But ░░░░░░░░ nuclear batteries like how ░░░░░░░░ it for a human ░░░░░░░░ to be around it ░░░░░░░░ How dangerous is it ░░░░░░░░ be in the military ░░░░░░░░ That s true too ░░░░░░░░ We jump out of ░░░░░░░░ at 30 000 feet ░░░░░░░░ But I feel like ░░░░░░░░ you wore that thing ░░░░░░░░ you d get horrible ░░░░░░░░ cancer because of it ░░░░░░░░ Yeah you d get ░░░░░░░░ shielding and a bunch ░░░░░░░░ other shielding Rogan Yeah ░░░░░░░░ that what they would ░░░░░░░░ BECK But the thing ░░░░░░░░ there s so much ░░░░░░░░ and there s so ░░░░░░░░ everything else We re ░░░░░░░░ the I hypersonic flywheels ░░░░░░░░ using all this other ░░░░░░░░ We are trying to ░░░░░░░░ energy storage in all ░░░░░░░░ of different ways to ░░░░░░░░ Rogan Is there to ░░░░░░░░ it so that a ░░░░░░░░ can be in direct ░░░░░░░░ and not receive BECK ░░░░░░░░ You carry it around ░░░░░░░░ a suitcase Rogan Really ░░░░░░░░ Yeah Yeah Rogan Jesus ░░░░░░░░ BECK There s a ░░░░░░░░ of them Rogan Isn ░░░░░░░░ it funny like that ░░░░░░░░ one of the things ░░░░░░░░ we re scared of ░░░░░░░░ most BECK I have ░░░░░░░░ be careful about how ░░░░░░░░ stuff I say I ░░░░░░░░ constantly going Rogan Are ░░░░░░░░ saying stuff that we ░░░░░░░░ edit it out if ░░░░░░░░ re saying stuff that ░░░░░░░░ classified BECK No the ░░░░░░░░ Man is not classified ░░░░░░░░ They ve talked about ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ Popular Mechanics now so ░░░░░░░░ I think some of ░░░░░░░░ people that worked on ░░░░░░░░ are still classified and ░░░░░░░░ of the stuff they ░░░░░░░░ doing now is probably ░░░░░░░░ This is old data ░░░░░░░░ Is this a situation ░░░░░░░░ as new technology comes ░░░░░░░░ then they revise it ░░░░░░░░ Yeah constantly Rogan So ░░░░░░░░ re always working on ░░░░░░░░ but it s not ░░░░░░░░ BECK Yeah always working ░░░░░░░░ it.”
