Does anyone know the technical terms for the parts on this pack? I’ve never watched the show so if anyone has ever heard of the individual component names please share the info. I would like to do a tutorial for this pack build and it would help to have descriptors for the parts
I always thought it was something used to pic up that pack. Also what the hell was the huge pack thing the blacks guy has in that group photo (If you’ve seen it.)
Ok ok i know what the lever is for. If you study the pack pics in the “EGB Pack Question.” you can see that the pack itself is not that large. Looking closely, you see that aloy of the pack is a canister despencer. So i figure the lever is a canister release.
The lever has no obvious use. But they never used it for a canister release (as the canisters in the pack are not the same as the ones on the gun) nor is it a handel. Its probably meant to be a power switch or some emergency shut off thing. I’m not sure they actually ever used it.
The huge pack was this super proton pack that was used once in the show (used to fight a big baddie) and was designed for the toys (the show was based on the toys) but they scraped the idea of having him carry it all the time.
I would think considering where it is located its most likely a power switch, large enough that you can reach back to turn it on. There is a handle on the top of the pack already. Considering the canisters hold the proton charge there would be no cyclotron needed, am I right?
The whole unit seems to be more of a carrier, the lower unit looks like some kind of cooling/power unit, maybe the upper one is a battery??? Power flows from the battery, to the switch box to the inverter to the cooling/power unit ,from the cooling/power unit to the gun which is a thrower for the canistered proton charged cylinders. When the cylinder is spent it gets slipped onto the bottom loop and a new cylinder pops up from the carrier.
I always felt the canisters in the pack acted like a gatling gun. it starts with the top canister, that drains, goes down to the next one, that drains, etc. while the canister on the gun was the last charge with that hanging canister being the back-up.
So, while the one on the gun could be changed on the fly, the larger canisters in the proton pack had to be recharged/replaced back at HQ. Meanwhile, the rest of the pack is used to control and regulate the power in the canisters.
The one episode I did see,the canister popped out of the top of the pack and Eduardo popped it into the gun, the one hanging on the rail is the spent canister. At least thats how I see it. Heres some more pics, just a few minor details left to do and she’s all done!
i dont know why more people havent wrote anything!!! this is great! i love it great work! hey i never really remember the show that well. but were there any lights on the pack?
