That’s brilliant, the fact it flies to you is a huge achievement as well.

i’ve never seen J that emotional about anything, but the fact that he persevered and continued on with the project just shows how much he cares abt his ideas and his content creation. You’re an absolute legend J, great video keep up the fantastic work👍🏼💯

The crazy thing is Tony in the movie also almost died when testing it. If it wasn't done for comedic effect, he would have been seriously injured when he was testing the thrust at 10% power and slammed into the wall at 100 mph. So I appreciate seeing you take the safety precautions in this video.

I love how he shows us the process and somehow makes it look exactly like the thumbnail this guy is a genius

The fact that the first thing he said when the backpack thing was exploding on his back was "no body come close, nobody come near here" made me gain alot more respect for him

I can’t believe he’s been wanting to do this for 14 years, that’s dedication

10:09 "Why are you working out? You do sport?" "Nah, man. For science. I'm making an iron man suit." "Oh.. kay...?"

One thing that's worth mentioning is the suit in the comics, the main thrust is from the feet and the arms are just for stabilization. This later was replaced with auto-stabilization coming from vents around the waist so that the user can fire repulser blasts from their hands without the worry of destabilization. The user could not reasonably control the kick-back from the foot-faced propulsion, so to compensate for this, the exoskeleton make the user have stronger joints that used servos to only move when the user moved their biological muscles. Obviously, if we overlook the logistics of the energy and scale needed to achieve this, such complex mechanisms would be WICKED expensive, so it's really impressive how well you compensated for such a lower budget (comparatively).

Congratulations! So proud of you, you finished the project I never could, you made it real! 🙌 Edit: since everyone's gonna ask -- we stopped working on flying like iron man when Richard Browning came out with Gravity Industries in 2019 -- and probably a good thing too, cause based on what Jake spent on this... we woulda gone bankrupt back then! Seeing Jake do it brings a tear to my eye, I am seriously happy for him. It does make me kinda wish we kept going back then -- but then again Hacksmith Industries might never have became the company it is today if we had! All for the best, besides, Jake makes a much better Tony than I ever did 😄

Saying “nobody come close” while it’s literally popping while attached to you shows how much you care about the people you work with. You earned this! Good job and congrats on the finished product 🎉

I really know the pain with hardware errors, especially when you don‘t know what the error is. Man this takes some very strong will power to still figure it out, no matter the time and the costs. Huge respect.

To see this guy flying with no saftey ropes, man, so much respect.

Mad props to this guy for not only losing around 20 pounds, pushing through emotional, financial, *and* technical turmoil, but also caring more about the safety of his friends than for his own (when the Mark 2 started sparking, he told them to stay away, not come put it out). Brilliant show of spirit, well done.

A long, long time ago (33 years...) a I was a young man. I had this dream. I sat in libraries trying to make it work. I quickly realised it was impossible. Well, not impossible, but too many technologies weren't there, or in their infancy. A dozen things to get working first. More than a lifetimes work. Heartbroken, I moved on to other things I could do. Not enough giants backs to stand on. I'm 50 this year and I see this. Another smart young boy with my dream but this time, the tech is within reach. Possible. I was crying half way through and sobbing by the end. YES!!! You did it! You made our dream come true. I had put it so far back I had forgotten that boy a bit. I can't tell you how this feels. Thank you so much. "Why do I keep doing this?" 'Cause that's what heroes do.

@14:24 iron man scared of his own toys 😂 Jokes apart... Continue inspiring us as always....🔥

I come and watch this video whenever I encounter a dead end in my projects. Jack is quite definition of inspiration.

Respect for you putting your crew before yourself. When sparks began to fly and you told nobody to come close incase of some kind of explosion. Complete respect big man, you are amazing.

I cracked a big smile when you first took off outside, but the most impressive thing was your perseverance. Congrats on a massive milestone!

This man is gonna be the reason why we’re gonna get flying cars respect for this man

Dude your easily one of the smartest people on KZfaq, there’s so many people, normal people who want/ wanted to make and iron man suit that WORKED and they failed but in the end you achieved greatness in your MTF garage🤯🤯 I only with I had that creativity man, keep striving for what people believe to be impossible keep pushing and keep on building!!!🔥💯💯 you got nowhere to go but up😌😊😊 no pun intended

I couldn't believe this was made by a guy with a KZfaq channel in a garage and not by some rich millionaire company. What an insane achievement! You've already impressed me a lot with the Spider-Man sticking machine and now the Iron-Man, it's just a higher level of dedication. It looks cool and actually works really well too! Props to you and your team for making this video possible, I hope this video goes viral so that it'll inspire more people to become like you :)

Gotta be honest. When the first successful test flight happened I almost teared up. It's great that you documented the challenges with the project and showed us that this was no easy project to complete. It's actually more inspirational to see the trials and tribulations than if we had just gotten the finished product. Really well done man, that was incredible.

Thanks for much man for your videos. I was feeling down and was just mindlessly watching shorts after an argument. And didn’t want to do anything but and watching you fail and not give up but keep moving forward. Pushed me forward to actually try and make a schedule and do things. Thanks.. I’m currently only 3/4 of the way through the video but it’s still amazing. Keep on doing what you were made to do! Much love my man.

Marvel hire this man now.

As an engineer and programmer myself, I feel the amount of dedication and time you must have put into this project. Literally thinking about all the problems you had to fix and things you had to do to get this to work gives me a headache. Must have taken you over a year to do everything.

The dedication is unreal on this one, probably little to no people notice bc it just flashed for fifteen seconds, but going on a weight loss journey for a project is just so surreal. You a real one, man!!

Crazy to see how much this man has accomplished.

It looks like the problem with the batteries bursting into flames is the fact that the batteries aren't all evenly charged so one of them discharges lower than the rest while still pulling full power and that cell will heat up rappidly and burst into flames. I think you would need a BMS system to manage them to make sure all cells in the pack are charged evenly and discharging evenly.

Absolutely amazing dude. Impressive not giving up. Takes a lot to keep continuing that long without knowing there’s a payoff. This video deserves way more credit.

The fact that he spent years preparing and building this and puts it in a 17 minute(s) long video... That's dedication at its finest. Edit: I know he used the same style jets for his Naruto run, and tysm for all of the likes.

Massively Awesome!!! Seeing the blood, sweat, and tears that went into making a dream we all have come to reality in front of our eyes makes what you've done feel like a truly HUMAN achievement.

I like how he tries his best even though the technology is nowhere near there yet

I am speechless right now... The fact that you're able to make something like this is absolutely astounding. Please keep up the great work and continue to inspire us with what you build.

Legit insane how you continue to raise the bar and push through to create insane things every single time despite all of the inevitable issues. So much respect 🙏🏻

Wow...THIS IS AWSOME!

As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s in love with Iron Man comics, and desperately wanting to be Tony Stark this made me tear up a little.

Bro why are you this talented you are like the real life tony stark

The fact that with an improved power source that we are coming closer and closer to, you can use that exact 'suit' to genuinely fly somewhere is incredible, well done 👏

I’m loving the persistence, I needed to see this.

amazing proyect and amazing edit

Ok, this is officially the coolest thing on the internet, a guy in his garage made something that real tech companies haven’t done yet! This is insane, congratulations man

I feel cringey saying this, but watching that flight literally brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe what just some guy can accomplish, it feels like science fiction is closer to reality than I ever could have dreamed. The gravity industries jetpack is a lot better, but that guy also had a truckload of money and whatnot to work with. This EDF suit is vastly more inspiring than the GI suit, and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

Amazing! Please continue your work! Love to see this coming soon in irl where everyone can be iron man

Absolutely impressive well done 👍

14:41 that helmet 🤯

What an accomplishment man. As an engineering student, your videos never fail to inspire me.

The true is that I have all this superhero’s things in the gamer world. It’s super fun. Since you can’t die. I can’t wait to visit and see my friends enjoying my original work of gamers.

Bro, you are an inspiration and it really means a lot to me that you are being vulnerable here on KZfaq because vulnerability makes a deeper connection than anyone really realizes really. Do you have now become my favorite KZfaqr and I aspire to be even half as cool and popular as you are. Maybe one day my channel will become rad like yours is. With maybe the amount of followers you’ve got so I can start doing bigger projects and make some really cool stuff like you do I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up my brother.

Your perseverance throughout this project has been incredible, and it was great that you posted, beyond the process, the prototypes. I feel that often with videos like these, the process feels seamless, because not enough creators are brave enough to display their mistakes. Thank you for continuing to inspire an entire community to create.

It’s actually so amazing to see someone keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and create things we’ve all dreamed of making one day. Jlaser is truly inspirational - one of the most creative and greatest minds out there.

Wow. Congrats bro! All that hard work, you're phenomenal.

I'm glad you included the breakdown in this video. I work at a job where I have to basically invent things. I have a breakdown like this once a month lately but its good to see im not the only one

i’ve always thought that if enough of the right KZfaqrs got together then they could make an Ironman suit guess all we needed was one

Felt like I was watching Tony Stark at work for the first time again. The "J.A.R.V.I.S, drop my needle", and visiting of the donut shop were fun touches. Congrats on such an amazing accomplishment, it's a huge "never give up on your dreams" inspiration.

Very Impressive!! Amazing video

so great! Thanks for your endurance! Love that Video

The production quality is excellent on this one. Really feels like the audience is along for the ride.

i don't even watch superhero movies, haven't even watched Iron Man before, but your videos are still great to me because they aren't about Iron Man, or Spiderman, they're about persistence and achieving your goals. These are so inspirational / motivational and show what you can do if you're dedicated

12:29 the fact that he said nobody come near me and cared about his friends makes me smile

I loved every bit of this. So so inspirational 🥲

It's so awesome that Tony Stark has inspired a whole generation of engineers to achieve things only seen in movies.

12:31 I love this part in the video because it shows how much j laser cares for the people helping him, he feels like a true Nobel superhero, keeping the safety of others on the top of his priority list, he his putting himself in such a higher risk by saying that, he could literally catch fire and die, but he chooses to protect the ones around him

This is seriously insane for the budget I imagine you have. Phenomenal job and talent. Keep up the good work!

You’ve got this my man keep fighting for what you want🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯💯

The real hero moment isn't when he flies, it's at 12:30 when he says "Nobody come close, nobody come anywhere near here". Iron Man would be proud.

JLaser outdoes himself every single video 👏

Brilliant! Dreams do come true sometimes 😊

Dude its perfect!

I started watching him this year and have been impressed with all his builds. Also at 12:30 when he was at risk he put his team before himself. Keep up the great work

Everything about this is crazy, not only the results but the huge amount of dedication you have to making it happen as well as the fact that you put yourself in danger while testing rather than letting anyone else try it is also incredible

13:52 - even after all the funny stuff in the video, the guy in the ready stance with a gym floor mat like a Spartain is killing me 🤣 man is doing work EDIT: nevermind, laughing way harder at a fully dressed tony stark in absolute fear trying to avoid his suit pieces at 14:18 😂😂😂

This is so amazing!!!

This is amazing!!!!

I love the dedication you have to these projects, no cutting corners, just taking it all the way!

That was just so cool

Impressive perseverance!

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I understand how insanely difficult this project is from a technical standpoint. The fact that you and your team (not a company) achieved this with hobby EDFs is unbelievable. The next thing on the list is adding computer vision to the individual jets so it truly navigates to your hand! Good luck on all future endeavors, you have earned a faithful viewer.

This man is actually like iron man himself, he puts in so much work and dedication to his projects, he doesn’t give up and just keeps at it, it’s honestly inspirational

Your work is amazing

bro you're a legend

This just made me absolutely speachless, this is insanely impressive and as a huge ironman fan I'm loving this. Mad respect.

Massive respect for showing the emotional rollercoaster of the project

1st step towards building Iron man suite. Preety cool. Even it's consuming a lots energy still it's interesting. I'm sure you enjoy the flying with your suit.

Smiled and laughed when it started working, that was awesome!! This is a guy to look up to!

I'm so proud of you for pursuing and not letting your failures overwhelm you

8:01 - 'and if you love iron man, you can actually play with him'

Respect for the hard work you have done ❤

So impressive!

It's amazing how far you've come. You're like the Mr.Beast of the tech industry.

That's a whole another level of content creating, and it flies to you, too THAT'S CRAZY

Been watching you for a few years and it never ceases to amaze me how every video is a step-up from the previous one. I hope that, with how much your channel keeps growing, you can continue to invest more and more resources into making awesome fantastical inventions become reality, because at this point, your only limit is your budget, you've got the brains and the patience to handle everything else

Man I don't even know what to say. Legit almost brought me to tears to see you do that. You are a Testament to what hard work and dedication can accomplish. Congratulations I can't wait to see what the next 10 years has in store for you.

It'd be a dream come true. I've wanted to make a suit like Iron Man's exactly like what you did here. Your videos always inspire the lot of us. You truly are a hero.

You are an inspiration.

I love how they showed the sadder side of engineering. When the project you're working on doesn't seem to show any fruition, plus the things that happen in your personal life, it really takes a toll on you.

It’s crazy to see how far you and your channel has come, since 5 years ago when you kept posting at least 15 videos on web shooters. Your content has changed for the better, from little gadgets to big projects such as this iron man project. Love each and every video you post. Can’t wait for the next one.❤

u deserves every bit of sucess brother ,, keep growing we all are with u ..

I really enjoyed watching your journey. Congrats on the success you can see your passion so glad u didn't give up after so many blows to the gut really inspiring

The last thing I was expecting to do while watching a JLaser video was to tear up and get emotional! Hang in there man! We all appreciate your hard work and frankly what you and your team manage to do is nothing less than astounding! Your perseverance and engineering capabilities are inspirational!

This video teach me not to over complicated the design. You want a flight, so you didn't bother to design a suit to help you maintain the pose on flight. That's amazing mindset that gets things done. Thank you for your dedication on the project and the urge to tell it's story to the world.
