Title: You can be Ironman LITE!

The prospect of slipping into a robotic exoskeleton that could enhance strength, keep the body active while recovering from an injury or even serve as a prosthetic limb has great appeal. Unlike the svelt body armor donned by  Iron Man, however, most exoskeletons to date have looked more like clunky spare parts cobbled together.

CYBERDYNE, Inc. is hoping to change that with a sleek, white exoskeleton now in the works that it says can augment the body's own strength or do the work of ailing (or missing) limbs. The company is confident enough in its new technology to have started construction on a new lab expected to mass-produce up to 500 robotic power suits (think Star Wars storm trooper without the helmet) annually, beginning in October.

They're using conventional batteries..  They need to use those micro turbines, those are more efficient and would bring mass production and its lowered costs closer.
