Interesting! But after a bit of research I find nothing of the sort: either they are device that prevents flexion up to a certain angle but do not help movement or they are active motor-aided designs. Would you have an additional keyword or a link?
Helping upward movement is the whole point of the contraption, but thanks, I'll probably buy some of these and strong springs to do some tests.
This is how engineers die:

Safety? What's that?
Considering that he also invented leaded gas and freon it's almost more like his bad inventions finally caught him personally
Post your progress and results on the community, I'm curious!
Not to discourage creativity, but I think there was a whole documentary about how bad an idea spring loaded exoskeletons are. Five Nights at Freddy's or something like that?
