On top of the inner skinsuit is a gel-filled layer, which regulates the temperature of the suit and can change its density to conform to the wearer's shape. The temperature inside the suit is controlled by the moisture-absorbing cloth suit underneath the hydrostatic layer. The hydrostatic gel layer can also be pressurized to various levels to potentially save the wearers life should the wearer be subjected to high G forces or a high velocity impact; however, overpressurizing this layer can cause nitrogen embolisms.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''' ''page 13'' ''page 20'' (2010 edition)</ref><ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''' ''page 36''</ref> | On top of the inner skinsuit is a gel-filled layer, which regulates the temperature of the suit and can change its density to conform to the wearer's shape.

The inner structure of the suit{{Ref/Book|Id=encyc91|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]|Section=Project: MJOLNIR|Page=91}} is a layer of piezoelectric liquid crystal that deforms along a preferred axis when exposed to an electric charge.{{Ref/Reuse|journaljul}} This layer acts as a sheath or a suit of artificial muscle; this reactive piezoelectric effect increases the mobility, speed, and all-around physical performance of the suit's user,{{Ref/Reuse|journaljul}} doubling their strength and increasing the reaction time of the user by a multiple of five. The material is amorphous, which circumvents a major obstacle in its design: custom fitting millions of the polygonal pieces under the second armor layer.{{Ref/Reuse|journalsep}} Knitted together at a molecular level the liquid crystal material is merely "poured" into a multilayered Sierpinski capillary system where microelectric fields can direct crystallization geometries.{{Ref/Reuse|journalsep}} The only downfall is the material's production, which involves classified super-toxic precursor materials and requires a zero-gravity environment.{{Ref/Reuse|journalsep}} | The inner structure of the suit{{Ref/Book|Id=encyc91|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]|Section=Project: MJOLNIR|Page=91}} is a layer of piezoelectric liquid crystal that deforms along a preferred axis when exposed to an electric charge.{{Ref/Reuse|journaljul}} This layer acts as a sheath or a suit of artificial muscle; this reactive piezoelectric effect increases the mobility, speed, and all-around physical performance of the suit's user,{{Ref/Reuse|journaljul}} doubling their strength and increasing the reaction time of the user by a multiple of five.
