With the Gear - Lightening your Load, Lighting your Way
Comment below to share your opinion of this latest piece of gear.
Cpl. Ally Beiswanger travels to Camp Pendleton, California to experience ExFOB'14, an event to showcase the Corps' newest ideas for commercial energy harvesting technologies and government systems. The goal of the gear is to decrease battlefield fuel and water requirements.
The Electricity-Generating Backpack, by Lightning Packs, LLC, provides wearable renewable electricity and replaces disposable batteries, which can ultimately add up to 20 pounds. The pack permits longer mission duration and reduces the demand for resupply operations.

I think the reason why this hasn’t been fielded yet is because cost, maintenance, and it’s not marine proof. No matter how marine proof you make something that one marine will always manage to break it

Did they test its durability to senior marines throwing it off the third or fourth deck? Didn't think so.

Actually, they did. The pack was dropped from different heights with varying weight inside. First rule when developing equipment, ask what a salty lance would do. - Cpl. Filipowicz

I thought the same thing as you before I put one on. Actually, you go up and down and the pack stays in the same place. I could feel the difference immediately and wished I had one of these on a 20 mile hump.

gameprototype Lmao this is stupid ! Like to see what your going to do on uneven terrain ? Sounds great until your on 40% incline or deployed to take a beach front and you get electrocuted . So why your in a boat every soldier falls over cause of a tide and gets mowed down by wave of guns .
iam so proud of all of you that put your selfs on the line for me every day no matter what thank you
Great idea to be able to harvest energy via troop movement (pun intended)
GIVE ME THIS ALREADY! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM MEEEEEEEEEE?!? ITS BEEN 5 YEARS SINCE THIS VIDEO CAME OUT AND MY BACK WANTS TO QUIT.
I just tested my Beiswenger, and it's ready to rock.
So does this system make the pack feel lighter or does it make it more stable when walking?

Uh... where's your cover devil dog ?!
Why not put the electrical generator as an externally connected device to any existing backpack [the up/down motion electrical generating device could still work but doesn't require the whole backpack to move up/down- say just a small additional load could drive the up/down device]. That way the soldier/marine is happy with his/her familiar backpack and the geared up/down generator works independent of the backpack. Being separate from the backpack allows for generating electricity when stationary - using say a hand crank or portable water or wind turbine to drive the small generator. Finally, running or jumping using the new backpack could be both painful when the backpack bottoms out and not very stealthy if it's noisy - just a thought. Stay safe and God bless you.

Well the movement of the pack makes it easier to carry. Also the movement of the whole pack generates alot more energy than just a external generator

Defeats the purpose of the weight shifting mechanism and also adds more weight to an already heavy load. I believe the goal that was set out for this was that it would potentially work hand in hand with an exo-frame which is wildly out of reasonable grasp.
God Bless The United State's Marine's, Military, Air Force's..🇺🇸🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏🇺🇸🇺🇸😇
This seems like a good excuse for daily trips up the alpha shelf
nice clip
That is future space Corps crazy
Is the additional weight of a fancy gizmo outweighing the weight of batts? Also it’s more moving stuff that can break in real rough situatioma
If this is work as intended then maybe we need to increase the length of the training rucking.
I'd be curious to know how this pack holds up under a straight up get your ass off the burner full out sprint.
Guess from what I hear, this is gonna save me alot of trouble when I finally join 😂
Adorei a mochila muito boa!
Marines can't even get decent toilet paper to use, let alone these lightning packs...
But can it be thrown in and out of an MTVR over and over and over again? Would the generation/storage of electricity be an issue during fueling operations? Let the Howas buy it first.
Great concept, but I wouldn't wear one this early in development,
That cpl sounds cute, but like a lil kid cute its quite funny 😂
that intro😂😂
It’s been 6 years since this video and nothing yet
That is in Del Mar
future of power armor ha
YES plz field this. marines would be less prone to injuries aswell
i want that equipment .
Sand is gonna get in that mechanism and seize it up in 2 minutes.
Are these only core issue or can civilians purchase them as well?
just what i want, a pack that moves on my back... jesus

What Marines think: "It sucks"
why do you still run on a thredmill when you have all that free ground
less pain
Why lighten the load when you're supposed to have a set amount of weight when you go out on patrol?
@BMurdaDaSteppa

uhhh because a lighter load means marines can be more combat effectiv??? this pack allows marines to carry less batteries because it charges the batteries they already have, as well as the fact that it bounces makes it feel lighter.
Can Grunts ACTUALLY wear this with kit? Will I have to make a shit ton of FLIPLs for this? 🤔
Sort of wave-front tech.
It’ll break the first time I dump it at my first rest break.
That voice what in the hell
two questions you have to ask yourself when engineering gear for Marines: can a Marine Break it? does it require math to operate? If you answered yes to any of these questions, your product is unfortunately not for the Marine Corps.
Tell the walking mattress to take that shit off and let recon force recon or 5th marines test that shit
Idk, a loose pack that moves around is not ideal for actual rucks
Great idea, but don’t Marines wear covers outside anymore?

I'll tell you what, that woman with 60 pounds on her back is awesome. Now the hard truth is that it can't possibly make the pack feel lighter. It would be pushing against you, not with you. Stand on a scale, then jump on a scale. You'll see. If by some off chance it makes it lighter as it goes up, it would be heavier coming down, so it would be a wash. In reality, It would actually make it feel heavier most likely. Simple physics. What they would need is to invent a robot drone to carry it for you.
They should just issue these to the Marines under 5ft 6" cause from experience, my back is jacked, my knees are jacked and the VA is paying me disability for the rest of my life. Had I had a pack like this i may not have rods and bolts holding my spine together and same with other Marines; thus saving tax payers millions
"marines can stay in the field LONGER"....bro, has it ever occurred to you that they don't want to stay that long in the boonies?
