/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1149794
Buy one

>>1149805
The idea is that I want to see if I can make one, dude

>>1149794
A legit spacesuit would be very hard to build. I'd say that your only option would be early space suits, like the ones from the Mercury missions.

Space suits are made from many layers of different, and quite expensive, fabrics.

It's a very cool idea. Do you have any rough plans on how you would go about it?

>>1149808
Not really, I was expecting for a simplistic guide of the essentials here. I came unprepared sadly

>>1149810
What I know is that I need a material that can sustain preasure, another for cold, and another which let's me breathe... What I need is something for the preasure, then I think it's just assembly

>>1149812
You might want to master the details of apostrophes before getting into the engineering of space suits.

Shower curtains and duct tape. Watch 10 Cloverfield Lane.

>>1149794
What are the requirements for your 'spacesuit'?

>>1149794
How about this:
>get winter clothes, big ones
>get duct tape
>get silicon
>cover clothes in tape
>seal with silicon applying from inside the suit to out
>craft metal lock in waist
>use transparent plastic covered with a metal grid to enhance pression resistence
Follow schematics
Maybe change the tape to liquid latex and let it grow a layer of eraser

>>1149810
god, at least use google before coming here you lazy fuck

Loitokari diving suit

Fun fact: an EVA suit is the smallest known manned space craft.
This being /diy/ figure this is useless because you will never fit enough imatation crab meat in a single suit to sustain yourself. Better get a shipping container first. Its the only way.

>>1149812
holy fuck do you even know where space is?

>>1149807
You'll need years of school and access to a vacuum chamber.

>>1149812
You have to regulate pressure, temperature, radiation, moisture, and oxygen. With space suits something as simple as your helmet fogging up can kill you.

Hey OP, I have an Idea.
Are you really going to space? Like do you plan to use this? If not just buy a cheap spacesuit costume and go crazy decorating it to make it real(ish). You should also stop by a doctors office to get your extreme autism diagnosed

rip op

>Cheap
>Good looking
>Doesn't kill you
Pick two

1. Acquire 12 million dollars
2. Enlist the help of NASA engineers

You don't.

I think your second item is the most important. Someone might come up with a home-built suit, but vacuum chambers aren't common or cheap to use. You could ride a balloon to 100k feet, but that's expensive too.

http://pacificspaceflight.com/ are some actual 'amateurs' working on a suit.

How hard vacuum? how long exposure?

a space survival suit for 5-10 minutes should not be that hard, suit for doing real work for hours in space is not going to happen

>>1149794
>good, cheap, working spacesuit?
I don't even...
Just...
No.

Anyone else imagine OP standing outside space-X with his thier hitchhiking thumb out?

>>1149794
You need tinfoil. It wont let air out, is an amazing insulator (sunshine) and it will reflect all negative pressure away. If you didnt need to be out for any real period of time you could feasibly wrap yourself twice over in tinfoil to survive. Maybe have a phone inside your suit for navigation as you cant look out. PSVR would be even better as you can simulate view.

>>1149812
Withstand pressure??? But whatever for.


Also the most difficult thing to figure out in making space suits is what to do with body waste. Not just shit and piss but most importantly sweat. Your face mask will fog instantly and you will float out into the cold embrace of that whore called space

>>1150143
Fun fact: if you died in space due to a ruptured suit your body would remain relatively intact and would just freeze and mummify. If you managed to die while still inside of a working space suit though, your internal bacteria would partially decompose your body before depleting all available oxygen. Mmmm, gooey!

>>1153315
We are already floating space tho. ;^)

>>1149812
Actually you don't need a layer to protect from the cold, you do however need an external radiation layer (protection from heat) and a COOLING layer

So basically there are three primary modes of heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is direct solid to solid (or unmoving fluid) transfer, think sticking your hand on a stove. Convection is fluids passing over a solid (think opening a hot oven and the hot air warning you or a blow dryer). And finally radiation, this is the heat caused by light, and you should relate it to the sun.

In space, you do not lose heat due to conduction or convection because of the vacuum, so you can only lose heat via radiation. And here's the thing: humans lose less heat via radiation than they produce internally, because we evolved to be cooled by a breeze (sweating is cooling via evaporative loss, which is phase change related to convection/conduction)

The reason a human would freeze if naked in space is because the moisture in your skin/ eyes/orifices would rapidly boil off, and boiling is massively endothermic.

What I'm curious about OP is if your worried about the cost of your space suit, how are you going to afford to leave the atmosphere, it isn't cheap?

Also how are you going to be sure it works? Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a suit rather then produce one?

>>1154018
You know a glove by itself for a nasa space suit goes for over $1,000,000 right?

>>1154053

It wouldn't surprise me?

Why the fuck do you need a space suit to work? How the fuck do you get to space?

>>1153335
What if life as we know it is just the decomposition process of celestial beings that died?

>>1154102
What if you smoke too much hash?

>>cheap

Spacesuits cost half a million to make so good luck

>>1149794
layer shipping containers. The problem with burying shipping containers underground is that they arent designed to support weight from the sides, but there is no lateral pressure in space. So just make an air tight shipping container.

>>1149812
>can't even spell pressure
>can't use apostrophes
>"i wanna go spess guise"

>>1153335
The freeze thing is a bullshit meme, things don't get that cold in space due to energy from the sun, same as you feeling warm outside on a sunny day.

>>1153315
Good point. It would be pretty uncomfortable but you could put a desiccator in the suit to handle that.

>>1154350
You can easily seal your shipping container using a caulking iron, hammer and imitation crab meat.

>>1149794
There was a kick-starter a while back where you could get one for $10,000 I would ask them how much for one.

Actually the heat is more of a factor than the cold. You produce 100 watts at rest, and your electronics will make even more heat. Radiating that heat is hard especially if half of you is baited in light 40% stronger than summer on the equator in the mountains.

These eurofags made a functioning one, though it's a mercury style plug and play suit.

>>1156233
I'm guessing you can Email this guy to find out all the information you need. Good thread tho, all the naysayers then people who actually did it.

Couldn't you just inflate it to the same pressure difference? Would 19 psi on the ground be any different than 4 psi in vacuum?

>>1150142
/Thread

A Hefty bag + bottle of oxygen = cheap spacesuit.

Level A hazmat suit is the closest you can buy

You're better off buying a hazmat suit or some shit but if you really want to DIY one, buy a lot of aerogel

>>1149794
NASA sell real space suits that were used in ground testing.
they never went to space but they're identical to the flight article so theoretically should work.

>>1156945
how about just the panties of the female astronauts?

Pick one:

1. Make robot spider with many arms that you control remotely and fuck getting out into space. Control your spider from inside an orbital hot-tub. Keep cozy.

2. Pressure vessel with cameras and multiple robotic arms stuck to it. Now you're a robot spider in a can.

3. Get a pressure suit for 10-20k, for another 100k maybe get the support equipment for it, or make that yourself lol While you're at it, add some power servos to the thing. Talk with these guys if you really want to buy a spacesuit. search kickstarter final-frontier-designs-3g-space-suit

4. Buy a used one that is still within it's useful lifetime for holding back an atmosphere of air-pressure and figure out how to make the supportive equipment. Good luck. Lol

5. Duct tape (over some cloth like coveralls) a jock strap around your junk, a good butt plug up your ass or a big diaper for all the shit that's going to come out, or don't eat for a few days. Duct tape around your guts too, neck, ribs and legs, duct tape a helmet around your head with a sun visor. Stretchy medical tape everywhere there's a joint. You'll do better if you can get your helmet to hold in 20 or something percent air pressure, though you'll probably just have to go with some glycerine eye drops and let 100% of the air out of your lungs. If you can't retain any air-pressure then you're not going to last long. You may last longer if you can pump some pressure or tape inflatables to press blood out of your legs into your chest. Anyway, then go jump into a vacuum of space. If you're lucky, you won't loose all your blood pressure and stay conscious longer then the 15 second max without any protection. Maybe even pushing a minute. If you're related to a Sherpa, you might push two minutes. Good luck Batman!

Your best bet is #1, work on testing and armoring electronics in a vacuum chamber and stay out of space. Space suits mostly exist because we couldn't make robots very well before.

>>1149812
A cool book about basic spacesuit operation (and composition, to some degree) is, unironically, Heinlein's "Have space suit - will travel", I shit you not.

try PVC pipes with double sided tape. for air, get a really long pool noodle and connect one end to your suit and the other in the atomosphere
