Nuclear, pneumatic, or pure disgust of muties
It already exists.
You need to design a lightweight battery before you can have good power armor. Do that first then we can talk.
If our battery tech was 50 years ahead of its current state then power armor, or rather load bearing/lifting frames would be viable today.
If you wanted to make power armor that was tactically useful today you put a lawnmower engine on a backpack, connect it to a generator and have an electric motor on the major joints that have a clutch to engage and disengage.
But pencil pushers think battery packs are the way to go so that's why you see the stupid garbage we have today.
Is that pedro again mowing the lawn? No that's user he put a lawn mower on his back for tactical reasons. At least the noise gave us enough time to grab the guns and wait until he's closer.
I know Raytheon has one that uses a deisel generator strapped to the back, but I think they are trying to make smaller fuel cell generators to make it quiter.
>How would it be powered?
Well as other people have said providing energy for a set of power armor would be a problem. Personally I wonder if it might be feasible to use some sort of micro turbine to deal with that issue.
