ripley just calls it a loader as far as i can remember, the dialogue goes,
ripley: i feel like kind of a fifth wheel around here, is there any thing i
can do?
appone: i don't know, is there anything you can do?
ripley: well i can drive one of those loader. i have a class 2 rating.
appone: be my guest.

In the film it's just a loader. In the script and to the crew it's a
powerloader. (The model kit was called a 'Class 2 Powerloader'.)
Trivia: the ones in the film have the 'caterpillar' logo on them.
And no, there has never been anything like this built. We've had this
discussion before. Cameron himself admits that in real life, it wouldn't
be much use.

Its called a powerloader and no it doesn't exist in real life despite
what you may have heard to the contrary. It was made of polysterene for
close shots and models for others.

The machine that was used in (and built for) the film "Aliens" was
called a power loader. It does *not* exist in reality. The prop was a
combination of physical and stop motion effects. The physical prop was
a 200+ lb. fiberglas shell that was supported from the ceiling by wires,
movement was provided by a stuntman inside the loader mirroring the
movements of the actor. For long shots, stop motion animation was used.
Again, this machine does not really exist.

Oh sure there's use for the Powerloader -- BANK ROBBERIES!
"GIMMIE THE CASHHHHHH!!!"
Martin Howe
Ok, so the chainsa..., er, PowerLoader is a great idea, but it isn't new.
In an early issue of "2000AD" (_many_ years ago) there was an episode of
"Judge Dredd" entitled "The Exo-Men", which was basically a swipe at the
very lax justice system we have in the UK and the "bleeding hearts" that
are held to be responsible.
The title referred to criminals who were using devices like the
PowerLoader to rob banks; this episode, incidentally, contains the immortal
line "You cannot bribe or threaten me because I am a robot bank manager.
That's why robot bank managers were invented!" (work that one out, if you
can :-).
Anyway, my point is that this episode predates "Aliens" by a few years and
I was quite surprised to see a PowerLoader in the film. Guess great ideas
always get thought up by many people.

The term "waldo" comes from an old SF book (something by Heinlein, I
believe) where it refers only to the "mechanical hands" we've seen in
lots of places (eg: "Andromeda Strain", and in real life). I don't
remember why they called 'em waldos in the book either. I think it
was just a pet name. (??) In any case, the gizmo in "Aliens" was
called a "loader", not a "waldo", as I remember it.
Also, although many have stated that such a machine does not exist in
real life, many *parts* of it do. Waldos (mechanical hands) are a
perfect example. [There was also a great bit in the movie "Dave"
where Kevin Klein says "I once caught a fish THIS BIG!" while
gesturing with an oversized pair of waldos.]
I bet if you could build one of those "power loaders" you'd make a
pretty penny, though.

Severall companies fiddled with this time of machine somewhere in the
'70s, UNDERWATER work. I have a schematic of a diver in a suit that
looks a lot like Ripley's queen crusher (or power loader)
jeff
reason: one of the earlier science fiction writers, maybe robert
heinlein, called such devices "waldoes": they mirrored hand/wrist/etc
motions with power-intensification, or mineaturization (sic), or were
used in dangerous radioactive applications. sort of like how geeks
coined the word 'worms', and now we're stuck with it.

Simple, because that is incorrect. The term Waldo was coined by Robert
Heinlein in the story Waldo. It is available in the volume, "Waldo and
Magic Incorporated," though I don't know if it is still in print. The
term Waldo was not derived from the function of the device in any way.
In the story in which Heinlein originated (or popularized) the concept
of the waldo, the main character's name happens to be Waldo and he is
the inventor of the mechanical hand that reproduces the motions of the
operator wearing sensing gloves. In the story the device was named for
the inventor and made him a pile of money. If Heinlein had named the
character Lorenzo, then supposedly the device would be called a
Lorenzo.

Then people would be attributing large powerful mechanical hands to
Lorenzo Lamas....eh? "The term 'Lorenzos' comes from Lorenzo Lamas,
whose behavior the mechanism was supposed to imitate. Bulletproof,
strong, and of no intellectual interest whatsoever."

Hmm, interesting , I was under the impression that the term
was derived from Heinleins short story 'Waldo and Magic Inc.'
I'm pretty sure that Heinlein has taken credit for coining
the term.

R.A.H. did invent the term Waldo, NOT Isaac Asimov. The story was about a
(very) rich inventor, called Waldo, who was too weak to live on earth so he
had his home on an orbiting space station. he used these Waldo hands of all
sizes from the very big down to the microscopic.
The only other thing that I remember that this character invented was a
lighting system that never had a light source that you could see.

Could it be because the name of the main character was Waldo? Just a

If you recall in Heinlein's "Starship Trooper" one of the central
concepts was the use of "Power Suits", advanced military versions of the
Sulacco's powerloaders. Nitto, a Japanese Model importer made some
powered armor models that I always thought followed HeinLein's models
closely.

The powerloader in Aliens was a two part system. It was part Marionette
controlled by cables. The whole structure was made of lightweight
plastic
so it would be easy to control. It was also part copycat machine. This
made it behave just like you see in the movie. Actually a lot you see
in aliens actually worked. Including the rifles and such.
Riply was actually strapped inside the powerloader which was then moved
by a system rigged at the back of the machine ( I believe they
re-used part of it in "the Abyss"
There was also a stop motion miniature of the powerloader which you
see in the full screen parts ( could also be motion controlled )

Sorry guy your weong on both counts. The full size version was a man in

The miniature was a cable actuated rod puppet. No stop motion.

NO, sorry a "waldo" is a mechanical arm which was originally used to handle
dangerous material. It was named after a device described in a short novel by
Robert Heinlien called Waldo and the inventer named it a waldo in honor of
heinlien.

Wrong wrong wrong. Ike did not invent the term.
It comes from a short novel by robert heinlien called Waldo. The lead character
invented mechinacial arms in the story and his name was waldo. The man who
really invented them years later called his invention waldos as a tribute to
heinlien.

Why is this thread still around? No one has any new information. There is
no real version of this thing, so why does it require this much
discussion? People continue to post a whole bunch of nothing.
Anyway, I'm just wondering; I don't really care that much.
That being said, I just saw this spaceship in a movie called Star Wars.
Where can I buy one of these? Also, has anyone ever visited Jurassic Park?

Right, it was Robert A. Heinlein's story "Waldo" that introduced it.
Careful of the author's name, though, it is not spelled as shown above

Yeah right so the guy inside had to carry the suit and riply !!!!
The mother alien was two guys in a suit, maybe you got confused.
I suggest you better read your literature, might I suggest Cinefex
to start with ??

Excuse me ? I did not only said "stop motion" but I said:

It also spurred a lot of thinking amongst the engineering minded small
business types. I briefly worked for a small company that had received an
SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grant from the air force to
produce one of these things. They wanted it for loading ordinance or
something. Anyhow, this company had worked out a lot of the details.
They had a demonstration device that would let you move a hundred+ pound
weight back-and-forth like it was a baseball. I left before it was
finished. I dont believe that they ever solved the balance problem, but
the upper body part would still be pretty effective attached to the front
of a forklift body.
There, at one time, was a researcher at the University of Minnesota who
had a huge hydraulic arm that he was working on.
As far as I know, this is about as close to the "Powerloader" and anyone
has gotten.
