WEBVTT 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:10.200 It's time for a Riley upgrade. For some 00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:12.880 reason, I've been recruited to try on a 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:17.840 exoskeleton from Hypershell, the Hypershell Pro X. And actually, it kind 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:21.840 of makes sense because I am the person in the office who probably does the 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:26.519 least amount of physical activity. Uh, so this is perfect for me. It's supposed 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:31.760 to make you stronger while using less effort. Uh increasing 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:35.840 endurance mostly in the legs. If I'm have to do anything with the arms, I you 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.559 know that's that's a different that's a different thing. But this is uh going to 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:44.559 help with my running with cycling all the things that I don't do. So thanks to 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.360 Hypershell for sponsoring this video so that I can become a better version of 00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:52.000 myself maybe. But in order to actually upgrade myself, first I have to take it 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.719 out of the box. So let's see what's in here. 00:00:53.800 --> 00:01:03.199 Ah. Ooh. Nice. Okay. So, it the the 00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:06.080 exoskeleton folds into sort of a like 00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:11.040 gaming laptop sized uh form here, which is pretty nice. And 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:17.520 it's actually not too heavy. Apparently, it's 1.8 kg, which is about 4 lb. Oh, 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.720 wow. And it just kind of unfolds like that. I can imagine myself in there. I 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:27.119 can imagine what it's going to do to me. Okay, here we have one of the two 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.200 batteries. I believe the other one's already installed in there that will 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:35.759 provide 800 watts of power to the 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:37.840 Hypershell e assist system. Uh, that's 00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:43.439 going to make me a better human being. In the bottom here, okay, user manual. 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:49.600 There's instructions that I'm sure are important. And then right here there's a 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.439 USB charging cable so you can recharge 00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:57.759 the batteries after you plug them in. And that is it for the case. So let's 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.680 look at the exoskeleton itself. So we've 00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:07.119 got the kind of waist part here with some padding on it. And then these leg 00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:09.759 attachments that rotate like that. We 00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:16.040 have here there's a USBC port and directly under that is the battery. And 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:22.319 it comes off like that. And then you to swap it out and 00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:28.800 reload. Boom. Oh, that felt good. You can reload yourself with this. We got 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:32.560 these clips here on the back that I'm 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:35.120 guessing are used for adjustments of 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.800 some kind. We'll figure that out when I put it on my butt. And on the right side 00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:44.560 here is the control button which you're going to use to enable and disable the 00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:51.120 assistance and switch between the various modes which we will look at 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:53.360 after we download the app as this 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:56.879 special little thing told me to do. And I always do what I'm told. So oh I 00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:01.040 didn't even notice this before. There are washing instructions on here. So I 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:06.000 guess you can just throw this whole thing in the and don't do that. Um 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:11.280 apparently there are screws here. Here. Can you see those? So, you can unscrew 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.280 the fabric part and then do not throw it 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:17.440 in the washing machine. It says wipe to clean, dry flat. So, it's still not But, 00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:20.959 you know, you never know until you try. So, don't do it. Okay. So, I've 00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:26.239 downloaded the app. I've logged in and now it's asking me to put in my body 00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:29.040 index to evaluate my suitability for 00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:32.879 this product and recommend the leg pull adjustment position. Okay. So, I'm going 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:37.840 to put my data in here. Okay. So, according to my measurements, it says 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:41.920 that I should adjust the hip levers to position 00:03:39.239 --> 00:03:46.720 three. Oh, there we go. Okay. Tight hip cl buckle up hip belt. Okay. Well, it's 00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:51.360 happening. We're putting it on. We're doing it. Buckle up the hip belt. Okay. 00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:55.040 I think I got to loosen these. Okay. I already feel like I'm kind of in a 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:59.599 sci-fi situation where I'm like I've been contracted to to work the asteroid 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:05.959 minds and they have to put on your equipment to Except it's not like that at all. I'm just going to exercise. 00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:14.560 Okay, so that goes there. Loosen a bit. And then tighten or 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:17.560 put that back in. Clip it. Okay. Yep. 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:20.160 Wow. I already feel the power. It's not 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.960 on. The placebo effect is going to be an issue for me. You could have got You 00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:27.759 could have got somebody who's more used to moving their physical body around in 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:33.520 space to do this and they'd be already done the video by now. Okay, I think I'm 00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:41.240 strapped in properly. This feels good. I don't feel 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:44.040 weird. I mean, it's a little unusual. 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:50.080 Ready? Hypershell activate. Okay, I did. Whoa. Whoa. It 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:54.160 just did something. Something just happened. Yeah, it's like a It's like 00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:55.320 reacting to my 00:04:55.320 --> 00:05:01.840 movements. This is This is what happened last time. It's already kind of like 00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:06.639 following my movements. Like when I move my leg, it kind of wants to continue the 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.199 motion a little bit. What I'm going to do here is move my leg back and forth 00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:16.639 twice. Any other anything that happens after that is 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:20.880 assisted. See, like it's it's I can stop 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:22.720 it, but I can also let it control me. 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:27.759 Search my device. Do it. Searching nearby devices. There it is. And no one 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:31.639 else has a hypershell. Okay, I'm in eco mode now and it's 00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:38.440 telling me to walk. Take a stroll in a safe area to 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:44.639 feel the power adjusted to your pace. I feel it. I feel it. It's moving 00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:49.199 my legs. So, that was eco mode. And now you can single click the control button 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.160 to enter transparent mode, which makes it sound like a noise cancelling 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.240 headphones mode where it just kind of like pauses the active function, which 00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:01.440 is what it's doing. So, it's just going to kind of like turn off the assistance. 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:06.080 And now I'm in transparent mode. Yeah, it's all me. This is all me. I'm still 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.199 very much myself. And when I activate it, that's going to be upgraded, Riley. 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.800 All right. Now, it's telling me to go into hyper mode. Press and hold for 2 00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:17.479 seconds. The red LED means we're in hyper mode, 00:06:17.479 --> 00:06:26.039 baby. Providing dynamic power for intense activities. All right. Whoa. 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.680 Yeah, that's stronger. Whoa. Whoa. Wow. 00:06:26.039 --> 00:06:34.880 Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah, we're moving. Oh, I could do anything now. I 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.880 could do any 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:44.400 sport. It kind of keeps moving for a second. You see that? It's alive. Within 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:46.000 eco and hyper mode, there are various 00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:50.199 power levels. So, I'm in eco mode right now, but if I double click, it goes up 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:56.720 to another power level again and again. And so now I'm on 00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.319 the fourth power level of eco mode, which is okay. Yeah, that's pretty 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:05.280 strong cuz I was only on power level number one of hyper mode. Oh my gosh. I 00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:09.720 don't even want to know. Let's go into hyper mode. Oh, and I'm Okay, so it keeps the 00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:15.039 power level between the modes. So this should 00:07:13.039 --> 00:07:23.360 be this should be very strong. Whoa. Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh my goodness. Whoa. 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.680 I could run. I could run across country. 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.960 I could do anything. I could do anything. All right. Okay. Oh, you want 00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:34.240 to go back down? You want less power? Triple click to go down a 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:40.800 level. There we go. You know what? I'm going to keep it at power level two on 00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:42.800 eco mode for now because eco mode will 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:47.240 have the best trade-off between battery and performance. Okay. Okay. So, to 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:52.800 power off, you have to double click and hold, and then we're off. Okay. All 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.680 right. I feel like I'm kind of getting the hang of this, so I'm just going to 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.120 take this for a little rip. I'm going to just run that way and run back, and I'll 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.520 report my findings. Are you ready? Oh, yeah. I can't 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.199 wait. 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:12.400 Whoa. I should run normally. I was like running on my tiptoes. I don't think 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:16.479 you're in the right mode. I'm in eco mode. I can feel it. It's helping me. 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:21.919 Okay, so for comparison, I'm in transparent mode now. There's no power. 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.919 I'll just see what this feels 00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:25.599 like. 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:32.080 Whoa. Okay. So, that's that's funny. 00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:36.959 That's funny because when I ran in eco mode with it powered 00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:40.399 on, it felt like I was just running normally and I was like, "This is fine. 00:08:38.479 --> 00:08:46.000 This is okay." And then running just now, I was like, "Why am I so weak?" 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:50.320 Like I'm not joking. I'm not joking. I was kind of like what? It's like I 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:53.920 forgot how to run for a second. So now I'm going to power it on and become 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.920 myself 00:08:58.040 --> 00:09:04.800 again. Yeah, it's okay. That's, you know, honestly, it's a little it's a 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:08.880 little it's a little weird. It's it's easier to run with 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:12.399 this. And maybe it's because when I'm running with it powered off, I have this 00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:18.320 thing on me. But again, you know, it's not very heavy. It just feels like I'm wearing a 00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:23.279 fanny pack backwards. You know, the cool way. One more time on that circuit in 00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:23.279 power in a hyper 00:09:30.040 --> 00:09:35.760 mode. Yeah, that feels good. So, the Pro 00:09:33.760 --> 00:09:42.080 X is able to kind of keep up with my movements because it has this AI based 00:09:39.680 --> 00:09:48.279 motion engine in it. So, it's kind of got some models of how people walk and 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:53.200 it's adapting to how you move to kind of like predict your next move. I'm going 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:57.360 to move my leg up and then it kind of keeps moving for a second after I stop 00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:02.080 moving cuz it's like, yeah, humans don't do weird stuff like this. This doesn't 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:07.760 it's not what they do. So, you can have it automatically kind of adapt to what 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:10.480 you're doing or you can enable a 00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:16.640 specific mode in the app. There are separate modes for walking, going up 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:21.920 hills, upstairs, gra all these other things. Or you can just set that to auto 00:10:20.079 --> 00:10:25.200 uh and it'll, you know, that that's preferable rather than opening your app 00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:29.200 every 2 seconds depending on whether you're going up or downstairs. But for 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:36.959 this purpose, I'm going to enable upstairs mode just to 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:36.959 see. Wow. Okay. This 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:43.680 is I feel like that was It's Look at 00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:43.680 this thing wanting to 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:51.760 move. See, but like even when I stop moving, it's kind of like, are you sure 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:58.640 you want to stop moving though? You could get even more healthy than you are. Okay. Activate downstairs mode. Oh, 00:10:57.040 --> 00:11:05.680 this is experimental though, so watch out. Hypershell says that this can give 00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:09.440 me up to a 40% boost in leg strength, up 00:11:05.680 --> 00:11:12.399 to a 30% reduction in physical exertion, 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:19.440 and offset 30 kilos, which is about 60 lbs or so of weight. Um, 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.880 so I do actually feel like I'm light as a feather right now. This is kind of 00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:27.040 interesting till it kind of like activate the most power. You have to do 00:11:24.959 --> 00:11:31.120 a big motion and then it'll start moving. But then if I just do little 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:34.519 moments, little movements, it'll just be like, "Oh, you're just wiggling." It's 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:38.399 not here to help you wiggle. Even though that seems to be my 00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:42.560 primary thing that I want to do with it. You want to race? Yeah. Yeah. Quick 00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:47.120 note, while you're just walking normally, you probably want to not be in 00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:53.839 max power mode because it is wanting me to walk like this. Ready? Here we go. 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.839 Three, two, 00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:59.480 one. I haven't run. 00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:08.160 I haven't run in so long. I feel like you you had a better start. One more 00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:11.880 time. One more time. Okay. Ready? Three, 00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:11.880 two, one. 00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:21.839 Okay, I was closer. 00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:26.800 Do you see that? I kept up with him that time. You just have a better You have 00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:29.040 better acceleration. 00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:33.680 Oh, what? You guys drove to the other Labs building? I just ran and it was no 00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:37.680 problem in a little bit of rain because this thing has IP54 dust and water 00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:42.240 resistance. So, it can handle that no problem. Okay, so let's 00:12:39.160 --> 00:12:45.880 just Now, Hypershell says the Pro X can 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:48.560 handle a temperature range of 60° C to 00:12:45.880 --> 00:12:51.680 -20°. So, it was a little cold outside. This thing would have been fine, but I 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:56.160 would not have been. I wanted to come inside to see whether the logistics team 00:12:54.160 --> 00:13:00.720 needs any help, you know, lifting things cuz I'm so strong now. So, you know, 00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:04.399 headquarters thought that you guys could use a little bit more muscle uh to move 00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:08.000 stuff around. So, they've, you know, brought me in to kind of see whether you 00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:12.880 got any heavy stuff that needs kicking or Oh, you can kick those. It's play 00:13:10.800 --> 00:13:17.279 sand. I'm going to go max power. Is that okay, Alex? Just careful though. I have 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.519 to warm up. See, now it's now it's helping 00:13:21.079 --> 00:13:27.040 me. That was actually I think it helped. 00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:30.320 So, this is going to help. This is helping you. I'm helping. Yeah. Yeah. If 00:13:29.040 --> 00:13:33.320 you if you get it out of here, you're helping. 00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:43.639 Well, now it doesn't really feel Now it feels the same as as holding a bin of 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.639 sand. But let's see here. 00:13:43.680 --> 00:13:49.440 So, we've used eco mode and hyper mode and transparent mode, but there's 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:55.279 actually a fourth mode on here called fitness mode. And this does the exact 00:13:53.200 --> 00:14:00.160 opposite of what you would expect and want an exoskeleton to do most of the 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:07.279 time. It makes things harder so that you can work out and have some resistance. 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:12.079 I'm already feeling it and I feel like it's already it's it's betrayed me. 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:16.639 Before it helped and now it's it's stopping me. I'm at 25% power, but just 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:23.320 because I'm not going to use this for very long or I'll die, I'm going to move 00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:26.800 it to 100% power. Oh 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:28.240 man, I feel like I'm Okay, that's really 00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:32.720 interesting. I feel like I'm waiting through water. Like there's heavy 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.800 resistance right now. Or not maybe not water, but like 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:43.680 mud. If you want to make people excited online with your thick thighs, then this 00:14:40.560 --> 00:14:43.680 is the way to do it. 00:14:45.680 --> 00:14:49.760 Oh, hey. Hey 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:58.160 guys, this is Yeah, this would this would definitely, you know, it's not 00:14:55.680 --> 00:15:03.199 going to help with uh many other muscle groups, I feel like, but with with for 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:08.959 your thighs. Yeah, big time. I'll say as well uh some people have said 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:10.800 that there's a greater force on the top 00:15:08.959 --> 00:15:17.519 of your thigh than there is on the back of your thigh for both like when it's 00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:19.480 both helping you and hindering you on 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:23.680 purpose in fitness mode. Like there's greater resistance 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:27.920 when I lift my leg up than when I put it down. It's a lot easier to go back than 00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:32.639 it is to go forward. So anyways, I'm going to turn that off. But that option 00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:37.440 is there if you're serious about getting thick. And I forgot to mention the app 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:42.320 has some stats for you to check out. Uh there's the battery percentage you can 00:15:39.040 --> 00:15:44.639 check on. The 5.7 mi is the range that's 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:49.040 left with this battery charge. Uh it showed my speed, which is why I was just 00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:53.800 testing it right there. And then down here we got your steps, the number of 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.560 steps and elevation gain, 00:15:53.800 --> 00:16:01.600 which I think was when I jumped that high. exoskeleton helped a lot there. Uh 00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:06.440 oh, and it's got a graph showing you like a how you've used the battery over 00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:11.920 time. So, that's all there. Pretty cool. Okay, so I've been wearing this 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:13.440 thing for about 2 hours uh so far, and 00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:19.519 according to the app, we've gone down in battery by about 20%. Now, I wasn't 00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:21.839 running the entire time, thank God. But 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:27.279 if I was, uh Hypershell says that I could cover 17 1/2 km uh on a single 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:32.000 battery. they really believe in me. But if I had completely lost it and I just 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:41.199 wanted to keep running, uh the motor is rated for up to 2,000 km of constant use 00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:43.040 if I have 115 batteries that uh I can 00:16:41.199 --> 00:16:46.240 swap out constantly while running. You know, don't get don't get ideas in your 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.920 head. All right, I've had a lot of fun moving around in this thing today, but 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:54.800 I'm not exactly what you'd call the target market here. Uh, Hypershell is 00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:59.680 one of the leaders in this powers suit industry, and they apparently have 00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:01.440 10,000 active users, all of whom 00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:05.919 probably have at least two Patagonia jackets. So, take their word for it. So, 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:11.439 these things start at $799. The model we have here, the Pro X, is $9.99. And if 00:17:09.439 --> 00:17:15.520 you're interested, if you own a couple Patagonia jackets yourself, the link is 00:17:13.679 --> 00:17:18.880 in the description. Check it out. And thanks again to Hypershell for 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:22.160 sponsoring this video. I have work to do at the other building. So, I'm just 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:26.240 going to just do a powered run back. Okay. See you later. Okay. Hey, thanks 00:17:23.760 --> 00:17:29.280 for watching. Subscribe to ShortCircuit and Okay.
