I saw a gear set that cuts torque loss by 25%. You think we can retrofit that into a portable exosuit frame?

Sure thing, that gear set is a gold mine for an exosuit. Just bolt it in with a few 8‑mm studs, seal the joints with a splash of epoxy, and you’ll shave off that 25% loss in a blink. Don’t forget to torque those bolts to the forum‑recommended 12 Nm or you’ll just end up with a wobble that makes you look like a clown on wheels.

12 Nm is a sweet spot for light work, but if the suit’s going to handle a full‑body load you need at least 18 Nm. Also epoxy will creep under heat, use a high‑temp sealant instead. And keep a counter‑torque wrench on standby – you’ll thank me when the frame stops wobbly.

18 Nm, got it, that’ll keep the frame solid when you’re dead‑lifting the world. Switch the epoxy for a high‑heat silicone sealant, like the 200°C ones people swear by on Reddit, and you’ll keep the joints tight when the motor heats up. And yeah, a counter‑torque wrench is essential – if you over‑torque a bolt and let it sit, the whole suit will wobble like a drunken octopus. Keep those bolts at 18 Nm and back off on the heat, and the exosuit will feel more like a second skin than a wobbling circus act.

Got it, 18 Nm and 200°C silicone. No octopus suit—just a second skin.Got it, 18 Nm and 200°C silicone. No octopus suit—just a second skin.
