Dead Space: We Built Gravity Boots
Monday, November 17th, 2008 running time 21:22
Inspired by EA's Dead Space, we build our very own set of gravity boots, then have David try to walk upside in a warehouse.
So we got this offer we couldn't refuse. Try and recreate the gravity boots used in EA's Dead Space video game.
Then try to walk upside down. Sounds like a cakewalk... right?
We had access to a warehouse, a forklift, and giant steel plates. We ordered a pair of electromagnets with a breakaway force of 650 pounds each. We figured out how to attach 'em to David's feet.
David programmed a controller to make sure he couldn't release both feet from the plate at the same time. (Safety First!)
It was when David was hanging upside down, his feet 4 meters in the air under a 1200 pound steel plate that things got... interesting.
Did we drop him on his head, or was he able to violate the laws o' gravity and walk on the ceiling?

" Wow."
" This episode of system has brought -- buying the new Intel core I seven processor find yours now at and wave dot com. The United States airforce. And dead space only did did survive. Is give website M or mom and we're re create a gravity boots or ga dad's good. Successors to these episodes of season. A better Norton. -- Welcome the system. What the hell are we. We are in the American steel building in Oakland which is sort of this semi AM band in steel foundry which is now an artist's space -- lots of artists. Doing burning man projects."
" Much of the forty foot high. People -- from thousands of individual pieces of steel -- air burning them process exactly. So that's why -- at the center and a half ton gantry and Hulu when the half ton crane in my dogs -- around like -- the -- pigeons indoors. Well you know the pigeons like -- So this is actually restraint remark comradery -- which is going to be used in today's episode. We're going to have you walking upside down. On a ceiling or on a ceiling as -- played well all of the spaceship perhaps such as the eighties densities because C no they came to us and want to do an episode. And Knightley was here again actually to me. Less -- mostly hurt. -- and we thought hey you know what that one of the key features in the -- the fact that. The protagonist. Leaks from. Mental level area to area and stick to it thanks to his electromagnetic things -- You were really excited about this what you would do the 283."
" We only operate generally a two dimensional space you know we. We walk on floors it. What's cool about dead spaces you can operate upside down -- can do back flip and hang upside down and you can shoot people in a -- three dimensional space he -- the first person shooters please don't emails about this I menu and ex junkie and quit. So you know I mean anything it doesn't start with Mario I'm only on today. But it's cool and it was actually irradiated and in an accident first I admit that I didn't think it would work but you know this isn't like you're great you're like -- operated like 42000. Want -- to be -- from the electromagnetic doom and -- On this cap out at night. They'll hold 250000. To these cells and the first thing -- bout with. (%expletive) and and so we bought one and well this one's a four. You know we're seeing he sells its attitude he sells for it is noteworthy that you have to have -- perfect clean for -- to really so. -- trying what's looks a little fellow collector -- it's. This is like a flat surface. But demand it's and for everybody's like look -- by users there needs technology and it can do belong in the system. Electro -- are actually what keeps the particles in the -- on collider in every other particle accelerator. Actually move being in the right place right basically they're a series of sequels -- I don't go in. News too little and come in and that basically you. To North Pole to south poles and they've forced the particle state in the track which is great because if you are studying particle physics undergraduate student and you had to be working one of those easily. You're probably gonna spent your adult life winding collector magnets or oversee programs. Yes actually as we spent time there that I spent a lot of times bigger like -- maggots. How hard can it be to suspend a few hundred pounds of electric right obviously these catalogs I'll have all these magnets of different now column is as much in into the real world so this will. Fine so one has to surfaces perfectly platinum and untainted in the magnetic is magnate is perfectly flat and it and it. But the second you get it any kind of tilt which is what you do when you want when you want to hear your your your -- boom it breaks apart. Which if you're hanging upside down is that is bad as you might -- My -- like just yanking it is a piece of steel and making off if this heal itself we send the paint off the steel I would almost not. Yank this off I would have to really important to get it off the surface but still any change in the actual angle angle we'll -- enough. So that's the part that's the problem with beautiful magnets which is why we went to -- beautiful. So now we're gonna go with -- Michael magnets on the and the other issue with with meg -- is that we have to use electronic that's because we want to turn them on because as you're walking want to -- your foot up. It would take a whole lot of force him in the U that they knew you'd need need -- you do need to make it. It anyway could actually support a few hundred pounds I -- absolutely together on absolutely but the problem is and you have to exert a few hundred pounds to lift your foot -- on the -- and support. So let's instead use electro magnets we can turn on and off as were walking and we'll make things -- much easier on magnetic field on these flat -- is basically enormously show. I'm requires -- credit basically like a few microns of -- will turn this. From a few hundred pounds of polar a couple of pounds pool to -- and a couple pounds -- the bipolar -- much deeper. Basically the pages they just you with the regular surfaces better and the the penetrate irregular firms and they they are bipolar -- router."
" And when using bi -- magnets which -- always use lithium batteries."
" I think what. So why wouldn't people make their roommates and people can make their -- commandments."
" I just found that ashes four attempts that was very good day. Released we didn't have enough time to sort of trial and error -- we have about fifteen pounds suspended -- one of the simplest magnets which was like a 150 feet. Between listen twinkies magnet wire wrapped around -- That foreign put on the insulated wires which he's not insulated in terms of of having to read stuff around it -- just this in the non connected material but if you look inside this it's pretty simple as a plastic oil rapid magnet wire. I think too there's my wired as a parent into the wires if you can get the math right any mass -- it -- it's free easy to create pretty strong electromagnetic. However if you don't get the math right and it's almost impossible to do or you're gonna spend so much. Time whining -- you're not missing a much money realistic and it is cheaper to go to professionals were doing this all day and you get in seeing discounts on their own materials so basically. It's less money divine -- perfect ones and ones -- enemy what means do you like plus service night Italy round or square one basically got a machine apart you have crawling. Policy. It's a non trivial endeavor you on the pick up with a few yeah."
" I'm not a -- responses of today's show Intel's core I seven processors at and -- dot com. The core I seven --"
" Her features intelligent multi core technology. Advocates in overdrive as interactivity becomes more intense what does this mean it means virtual worlds in environments are rendered seamlessly with physics -- distribution across any software threads. It means less likely to focus on game play and the only thing you'll be sacrificing your enemies not your system supports. You've experienced and news and an eventful season games as the -- god particle systems dynamic physics and texture generation to. The core I -- hour plus shot for a core I seven processor and a -- dot com and music coupon code system and get ten bucks off. That's SY STM. So if you plan on purchasing in new media tower gaming PC look for Intel's core I seven processor processor speed. It's a smart way to take on how he -- games and applications."
" So -- six -- you can Pelletreau magnets."
" about. One point eight -- twenty watts twelve volts to two apps we're going to Paris and target eyes you -- our episode on how to build a comment Rabat from cheap. Look at girls yes so. Bring you those same cheap electric bills we've got nice eighteen vote I'm better tax which can source at least -- amstel musing about half after the source source for. And the thing uses is like Chinese alligator clips to -- on of these is a bad idea there's enough off right. They're really nice thing about these particular battery packs is they come with these little. Charging things that is normally what you used charges but what I've done is I've modified this sensitive using these foot feet to charge Obama. We're actually using the -- to draw the power away from them. So they just slide right in their. Well it won't and it's not gonna phone. Now I'm -- really solid power source and a solid foot that is not going to fall off of it. So that might see them all on the actual. And is doing is -- he's not falling off as well we have here relays and stamp yes so as far as controlling all of this what we're gonna be using is these really is here. And the thing is is that basically because there -- magnets we want on them ought. So that I can step forward this is a safety features that you want the -- to always be pulling you towards. Always it's gonna keep your skull from him in the floor which should be you know -- So what we have is we have -- areas which are normally closed that means that if an alternative. To my controller off. They're still closed that means that these are still drawing power struggle from the battery. And so and -- always always there so there really is alone means to turn off one or the other at any given moment in time. Without turning off both of them you know other -- normally close normally close so if we turn off of the power to pick and everything else. They'll still normally be close and so I'm not gonna fall off so basically if this runs out of power really close games normally on. Mean -- release until it's a closed connections and basically what it looks like please sir yes of these are the two wires in normally closed. Connections like this which went online -- is what it's doing it's now both men and so basically that means disconnect and in the product so basically what I have. Is is too little switches and iphones which -- respect and control so it might want to lift one off I'll I'll push the button. Now in that space and example if you're really using as you probably have those which is emitted somewhere in your seats in the cities you shifting weight. -- aren't deals like technology and where they've got the magic so that as soon as you intend to lift your foot up it automatically disconnects the powers that it was good to live in a video game we have to do -- create real issues -- of that program. But again I -- such a thing about this and just walking in as our hand across my kitchen floor and it. Replicate this -- actually put a sensor in the boot in the seal of the -- that we wanted to put something in the heel of the boot here we can actually have a switch right here. And so as long as always on the -- how you rest yet you you pick up so I'd be picking up -- you know here. And and a visit this long issue -- it purpose of the physics on that it works alone hanging upside down. And especially if you're in zero gravity it. Let you know for our purposes that would work but you know we just want to basically be able to walk upside down a -- will be able -- the reasons which is the perfect. And the reason we have the basic stamp those so that you cannot manage to disconnect boat with that once the matter how hard he's correct you we can bills are certain things are so."
" amazing actually put so mines and a series of parallel configuration which would allow needed you that's it and neither of them could be -- plan at the same time. Let -- the 1950s technology if your only tool is a hammer everything looks like and allies even programming picks for twenty years like I have. It's just easier -- to pick them you know all these elements."
" They want to take some time not to think one of the sponsors of today's show up DA is dead space only did it survive. Created by hand picked team of -- fanatics here is for survival or video game console terrifying. -- and then -- the place kids here. Since the cold blackness of deep space if you take up the role of Isaac Clarke an engineer aboard the mining ship US she should. It's not long before Isaac -- still living nightmare for his fellow crew members had been ravaged by a terrible in in infestation. -- you must master the art of strategic dismemberment and take advantage of the should zero G environment to blast away through enemies. Plus we were so inspired by the -- zero -- thing I mean come on walking on the ceiling we actually decided to build our own electromagnetic. Loops in fact this whole episode. Is about electromagnetic. -- Similar to the ones that she used in game to navigate the distant space and -- Dead space has also been a recipient of game critics awards best to be 32008 for best action adventure. You confined space in stores now if you want to play of possibly the most terrifying video game ever made. Pick up your copy of densities."
" How we're gonna attach you to the electorate and upside down."
" Well we went through a lot of different processes in such as duct tape. Which obviously isn't really bad idea. -- connecting them to maggots and actual climbing harness which leaves me too much slack off message and knees. A lot of people said what about its the gravity boots the big eighties it now let's raise interesting about gravity which is -- bits -- actually. And it's so they only cover you from your ankle. And their only good if your permanently because basically it's hook attached to your ankles they're not actually they wouldn't work for -- story. Behind it does hurt like hell you have to -- actually figure way to cinch it down -- him to hold your food and we're not in zero G and we actually have -- effectiveness it's been taken a lot of force. To be able to -- these so. We thought about some of the dean since we know and love and they suggest that go to political mister S leathers which is a well through -- revolution well -- sustain it when he and I Watkins a couple nobody batted an ion -- a spying bondage here. There including these nice little on ankle devices which would normally be used to paying. You're. Bart Arnold friend outside upside down anonymously strap these on to you're feet and he's covered is that basis but. And then down in this studio and that was -- it. So now we don't fabricated a dumb little restraining -- Is ruling holds it. Yeah cause all the script and in the end than half and stick aluminum. Your. Common ones my foot is in there and these on these -- are supported just like -- test new media. Studio. Will be. Definitely has a sort of error of sort of I was your favorite for the the Gene Simmons. 1970s kids we'll certainly have yet got the platform thing. But now I need to spit blood and."
" Since congress and industry did you."
" She's at this time you want to settle all the other thing that you want to supervisory. So -- Ziering and I am a reggae is actually bringing him up so that these fail in catastrophic fashion he gets. May I guess he's about money in my Internet -- and we need isn't -- spot. Yet and that spot that most of his body filters and while it."
" Army we used to get tossed on airplanes and no parachute just for parks are they do once. Did it -- smooth."
" Yeah. Yeah."
" and yeah. Yeah -- Yeah -- yeah."
" Really can't seem easy to implement."
" Good news."
" Yeah she's -- Part this is again anesthetics."
" Yeah family airlines got its."
" We like to take a moment now for short message that from the united states air force."
" drugs work yeah. And airman first class user yeah. 2004000 rounds that."
" Isn't it triggers as the -- and irate 2000 rounds without them. There's nothing like it. Do leveling the results."
" Again the magnets strong enough. The harnesses could use a little work but they held. All we need to do is turn you into a certain display performer or one of the traditional Chinese acrobats and you can function upside down without blowing chunks and or blowing it enters."
" Because the difficulty here is is that humans are very soon. We'll talk to -- certain -- is that gravity going aspect. And it when I'm kind of want an upside down which don't understand is that basically you want all your calf muscles in front. And -- salesman than behind because what's happening is. Your leg muscles really aren't meant for them so great there all. In the early lose my mind my feet or not because of the way because all of the burn -- elimination."
" Plus let's say okay here's another thing if we -- in zero G environment it's very hard to create a zero G environment on the surface of the planet earth. It probably would have been okay because you know it it would have been awkward -- bad he's eleven pound cutting service."
" Floating that your feet are in constant position claimed that they're running. Click here I'm not floating I'm hanging. And I'm trying to launch. But every time you release will you want your cat. In front of your knees through it and behind your knees. And it's pretty much impossible to me team that bad or illness has resulted in owners regardless."
" Are you gonna make fun of us -- not -- being creating virtual inverted. -- inform you -- and other meat and treatment of its. Are you -- going to keep it personal system it mystery guide com or visit during dot com's last says that he all of our episode which pretty much cover everything from say. Free Wi-Fi antennas to play around like dramatics and trying to make David botnets. And just turn out -- compulsive and I really am only keep playing with these don't have any. Deadlines on how long it take to me -- we're. In the future and maybe in a future episode if you in -- sector managers -- it tank. -- better Norton. I'm -- talk and we'll see you next week on system."
" Guys. Guys. But I expect it let it that we -- split. Let's think of it it doesn't fit and -- and I didn't -- I think."
" Yeah okay okay it does not funny anymore got got this. It. -- yeah. Throughout the attempt. Of what we've ever done. That but let's. --"
" Wow."

How does Patrick explain to his wife that he just spent $169.95 on fetish gear, and it's for use with another man?

Great episode. Was that a tilt shift lens used when showing the 'ceiling' being setup? Either way it was a cool effect what ever you guys did.

That was pretty awesome. If you had a zero-g environment, would the magnets need to be that powerful, or would less powerful magnets suffice? You'd just need more force pulling up than down, right?

Oh man, that comment made me laugh so hard :D
Anyways, it was an ok episode. A bit too much theory. Too bad it didn't worked as planned.
One thing i have been wondering tho... And i'm hoping one of the hosts or persons involved could answer this.
Why going trough all the trouble of getting david upside down. The way i'm seeing it, it would have been much easier and quicker (and saver?) to let David lie down on his back, feet in the air, and lowering the steel plate with the forklift until contact, then raising the forklift with david attached.
Or wasn't this possible with the rigging gear?

Love it!
That was one of the most entertaining episodes of systm yet. Keep it up.

It may have helped if David had something for his hands to grab onto to help stabilize him like gravity walking sticks maybe?

I wonder if a Y shaped harness; much like those training on a trapeze; would have given more stability and ability to take the appropriate first step?
