Put on this pair of Bionic boots like an ostrich run

Many animals have run faster than a man, and you are willing to have their speed?

For 25 years, inventors Keahi Seymour wildest animals do running, jumping. At the time he was 12 years old, when he is watching a TV show about a kangaroo, says kangaroos can be so efficient and powerful strides thanks to its spring-like tendons. And then he thought, why not designed based on the principle of device applicable to humans?

Later, he began to ostrich for the prototype design of the boots, because he finds that ostrich walk, run and people closer. (Looking quite like)

At the age of 17, he used the old inline-skating boots, steel pipes and bungee cords to establish the first generation model. Subsequently, he has designed more than more than 200 pairs of boots. Today, the Seymour design of Bionic boots that allows him to run at 25 miles per hour. He felt "really Superman." Eventually, Seymour wants to use electronic actuators to enhance the flexibility of boots heel, thereby increasing the speed to 40 miles per hour. He is also expected to carry out more tests.

Bionic boots of evolutionary history 1988

Seymour designed third-generation Bionic boots made of wire mesh and glass fibers, composed by steel and bungee cord spring powered Achilles tendon. These boots from 10-12 inches proved to the height of height. But the third generation speeds can only be up to 15 miles per hour.

2010

In order to later prototypes reducing from 10 pounds to 6 pounds of weight, Seymour glass for aviation aluminum. He also replaced the springs, new spring by carabiner or bolts and thick barrel of fish, and between them through the thin rubber together.

2012

Carbon fiber appearance won Seymour's favor, so he abandoned the aluminum. In order to fix the product on your lap, Seymour will opt for slimmer, Velcro leg fixed on the stability of snowboard boots. In the models that followed, he retained the structure of carbon fiber, reinforced with nylon straps.

"It will give 6 iPad charging at full speed, I still 5 iPad." 2A charging equipment will be more and more, if you already have more than one such device at home, while the pursuit of efficiency and convenience, this 6 monster really worth considering. For me, now there are 4 full speed USB is very happy.
