I decided to start a continuos series of entries all relating to technology which we may have seen or thought to only exists in sci-fi movies, books or cartoons.

I have always been a Sci-Fi buff, always interested in anything with robots and lasers to say the least. One of my favorite series of all times is Aliens. I clearly remember watching the scene where Ripley fights off the mother-bug with that powered suit as the base is about to collapse. The military has been funding a 50 million dollar project to develop such suit for its armed personel. It gives the wearer super strength and stamina for sustained physical tasks, I was pretty amazed to see such a device being developed:
Pretty damn impressive.
