Boots at 45 miles per hour can rival lightning

In 25 years, Seymour inventor Keahi dream imagine animal like running, jumping. When he was

12 years old, when he watched a kangaroo TV program, when the host said, the kangaroo can

have such a high, thanks to the strong pace of its spring like Achilles tendon. Then he thought,

why not according to the the principle of designing a device applied to humans?

Later, he began to design the ostrich as a prototype, because he found the ostrich's walk,

running closer to humans

At the age of 17, he used the inline skating boots, steel and bungee cords and built the first

generation model. Subsequently, he designed more than 200 bionic boots boots. Today,

Seymour design can let him at a speed of 25 miles per hour run. He felt "really is the final

Superman." Seymour, hope to use electronic Pro elastic actuator to strengthen the heel boots,

which will speed up to 40 miles per hour. He is expected to conduct more tests.

The evolutionary history of bionic boots 1988

The third generation bionic boots Seymour designed by metal wire mesh and glass fibers,

composed of steel and spring Achilles bungee cords to provide power. These boots from

10-12 inch, the height of the best height prove the truth. But the third generation speed can

reach 15 miles per hour.

In order to subsequent prototype weight from 10 pounds to 6 pounds will reduce, Seymour

for aluminum glass fiber change. He also replaced the new spring, spring is a carabiner or

the bolt with the thickness of the fish barrel, they are connected by a thin rubber together.

The emergence of carbon fiber was Seymour favor, so he did not hesitate to abandon the

aluminum. In order to finished fixed in the legs, Seymour chose to use more Velcro thin

legs fixed on a snowboard boots stability. In the model, he retained the structure of carbon

fiber, but the use of the nylon belt was strengthened.
